Tesla's Cybertrucks have officially begun their journey to Canadian customers, just weeks after the company initiated sales in the country. Reports indicate that several units of the highly anticipated electric vehicle (EV) are being prepared for delivery, with sightings confirmed in places like Kitchener, Ontario, and on highways in British Columbia and Quebec. Additionally, Tesla has rolled out a selection of Cybertruck accessories for Canadian consumers in conjunction with this launch.

The company started selling the Cybertruck in Canada last month, following earlier commitments from executives who aimed for a quick rollout. A significant industry change occurred in July when this innovative vehicle received a crucial exemption that allowed its steer-by-wire system to operate without the conventional steering column.
In September, Tesla expanded its market presence by delivering the first Cybertrucks to customers in Mexico, kicking off with a ceremonial event that featured ten units. Meanwhile, Tesla continues to navigate regulatory challenges in several international markets. In Europe, for example, the Cybertruck faces scrutiny due to stringent pedestrian safety laws, with critics arguing that its design could increase the risk of injuries to other road users.
During a recent Shareholders Meeting, CEO Elon Musk hinted that certification for the Cybertruck in markets outside North America might be achieved as early as next year. He also suggested the possibility of developing a smaller version of the Cybertruck, which could address international regulatory hurdles more effectively. As Tesla moves forward, its efforts to adapt the Cybertruck for various global markets remain a key focus.
