Cybertruck aficionados waited years. Musk must deliver.

Elon Musk faces enormous stakes with the Tesla Cybertruck's arrival.

Tesla's Cybertruck introduction will complete a successful year.

Musk's EV startup has met or exceeded market forecasts, and risky price cuts have paid off.

Musk is aiming to produce roughly 2 million units this year, a far cry from 2017's "production hell" that nearly brought Tesla down.

A successful Cybertruck launch will help Tesla become an automotive superpower from a scrappy company.

Analysts predict "Tesla's take on the truck" to disrupt the long-standing market.

Tesla's largest and most complex vehicle must launch smoothly.

The bombastic CEO may not fit the pickup truck ecosystem, which brings additional issues.
