Tesla is gearing up to bring the Cybertruck to two new countries, as the company confirmed the all-electric pickup will come to Canada toward the tail end of October.
Meanwhile, Tesla appears to be preparing for initial deliveries in Mexico, according to some images of delivery centers in the country.
Tesla Cybertruck deliveries launched in November of last year, but they have not made their way out of the United States. Because the truck is so unorthodox, it seems foreign markets are taking some time to approve the Cybertruck for regular passenger travel. Tesla is also prioritizing U.S. customers currently.
However, that does not mean it will only be a U.S. vehicle forever. Tesla has been clear it would come to other markets, and it now looks as if Canada and Mexico are getting their first units in the near future.
Tesla Cybertruck in Canada
Tesla has been preparing for Cybertruck deliveries in Canada for some time.
The country has also been doing the same, as it is preparing for rebates and other incentives that will apply to the truck when its first deliveries are initiated.
Tesla’s Cybertruck Vehicle Program Manager, Siddhant Awasthi, confirmed today on X that the company is most likely going to complete the first deliveries of the pickup in late October:

Tesla Cybertruck in Mexico
Tesla is also ready to bring Cybertruck deliveries to Mexico, as various social media posts have shown that the pickup is being transported to delivery centers.

The Cybertruck was in Mexico earlier this year, and Nuevo León governor Samuel García Sepúlveda even took it for a spin. Nuevo León is the state where Tesla plans to build its Gigafactory Mexico facility, which is currently on hold.
Tesla Cybertruck in Other Markets
Tesla has plans to potentially bring the Cybertruck to even more markets, like Europe and Asia. However, it does not seam like it is feasible to entertain the current build in other regions due to its size and prowess, which would make it unfavorable in some countries with slim streets.
CEO Elon Musk hinted that the company could introduce another, smaller configuration because international interest seems reasonable enough to entertain a re-engineered version.
Tesla has not confirmed that it will build this, but if it plans to launch a Cybertruck in countries outside of North America, a smaller version could be the company’s best bet.
