On November 21st 2019, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk revealed his latest hard-edged, futuristic, all-electric light commercial vehicle called Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) to the world at an event in Hawthorne, California.
Keeping with Tesla’s history of using showmanship to advertise its latest products, the unveiling included a countdown clock and an auditorium full of fans in Los Angeles. As it rolled onto the stage, the truck drove through wafts of artificial smoke and music drummed through loudspeakers. On the periphery, pyrotechnic flames rose as it stopped in front of a graffiti-style “Cybertruck” graphic, in stark black and white.
In Event, an attempt to show off the vehicle’s strength by having chief designer Franz von Holzhausen to hit with a metal ball and sledgehammers at “armor glass” windows. But the glass cracked. “But it didn’t go through glasses” Musk pointed out.
Cybertruck has more utility than a pick-up and Better performance than a sports car. “Cybertruck” with its edgy design is influenced by “Lotus Esprit S1” from the 1977 James Bond movie “The Spy Who Loved Me”.

Polygonal styled Cybertruck looks totally different than any other truck you’ve ever seen. It provides major ecological efficiencies in the design. It’s not the kind of car you’re going to spend hours soaping up and buffling with a chamois leather and that’s a good thing (no one wants that!). It’s going to keep looking good for years to come. No chip / scratch painting.

The truck is 231.7 inches long, almost 80 inches wide and 75 inches high. Also, there is plenty of storage space and the cabin seems plenty spacious too.
