An early Tesla Inc. Cybertruck is one of the key items up for grabs at the Petersen Automotive Museum Gala on Oct. 7 in Los Angeles.

“Be one of the first to own a Tesla Cybertruck!” reads an email about the gala auction preview. “This is for low-vin Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection.” A vin is a vehicle identification number, and a low-vin means it will be one of the first ones made.
