First 2024 Tesla Cybertruck Reportedly Auctioned for $400,000, with First Deliveries Still Elusive

• The first 2024 Tesla Cybertruck has reportedly been sold at auction at the Petersen Auto Museum, according to posts on X.

• The angular truck sold for $400,000, with attendees paying at least $1750 for access to the event.

• Tesla has yet to confirm production specifications for the Cybertruck, and it's unclear how many motors this early-VIN example packs.

At long last, production of the Tesla Cybertruck finally appears to be underway. Over the weekend, social media posts claimed that a 2024 Cybertruck was auctioned at an event at the Petersen Auto Museum. The truck allegedly sold for a whopping $400,000, as reported by InsideEVs.com.

The auction occurred during the Petersen's 29th gala event, hosted by Jay Leno. Tickets to the festivities cost $1750, with a table reservation coming in at $17,500 and a "premier" table ringing in at $30,000. Clearly, the attendees have cash to spare, and posts on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, state that the truck sold at auction for $400,000. We have reached out to the museum for confirmation of this figure.

If the sale goes through, this would become the first Cybertruck to be officially sold. The unorthodox pickup, first revealed back in 2019, was originally slated for production in 2021 before consistent delays pushed it back. The museum had advertised that attendees of the gala could bid on a "low VIN" 2024 Cybertruck, although it's unknown just how early in the production run this truck will be.
