In a Tweet yesterday, Elon Musk gave a brief update on the Cybertruck. They are working on increasing dynamic air suspension travel for better off-roading capabilities and that it needs to be able to “kick butt” in Baja. Does this mean Tesla could potential sponsor a race team or start their own?
Elon Musk just tweeted they are currently scouting locations for the Cybertruck Gigafactory. He mentions in will be central USA. Does that mean Texas based on a previous tweet from him? Tesla’s original plan was to start Cybertruck production for deliveries beginning in late 2021. It will be a tight turn around. They need to secure property, build a factory, and get everything up and running for manufacturing.
The Ontario Provincial Police Highway Safety Division posted this rendering of a Cybertruck Police vehicle as well as a Model X. There’s already a few police stations using the Model S as well as the Model 3 as part of their squad car fleet. The Cybertruck could prove to be the most versatile. I would vote the Cybertruck over the Model X for police use.
When Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck in November 2019, they expected mixed reactions. It has been described as anything from polarizing to ugly. It’s very unlikely any other major automotive manufacturer would have been daring enough to build something so different. One thing is for sure, it is definitely grabbing attention. It’s also inspiring some fabricators to build their own version of the Cybertruck!
