Tesla announces Cybertruck in China but for national tour

Tesla Cybertruck is now available to purchase in the U.S. and the company has reportedly opened a Cybertruck National Tour for China, one of its biggest sales markets.

Based on Chinese media sources, Tesla has opened registrations for the tour and people in China can participate to decide the first Cybertruck launch city based on the registrations.

For now, the details of this national tour are not announced by the EV maker or a specific date. More likely, the company will showcase the Cybertruck across different Tesla showrooms in China.

A few days ago, Tesla CEO, Elon Musk said it would be difficult for Cybertruck to be legally released in China but the company is keen on bringing the prototype to Chinese consumers.

Getting Cybertruck road legal in China would be very difficult, but we could ship some prototypes over for display

First announced in 2019, Tesla delayed the Cybertruck deliveries for various reasons but the company finally delivered the first batch of Cybertrucks during a delivery event on December 1, at the Austin Gigafactory in Texas.
