CEO Elon Musk's Latest Cybertruck Version

At the opening ceremonies for his Austin, Texas Tesla Gigafactory, Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised that his long-delayed Cybertruck will be delivered to customers in 2023.  First unveiled in late 2019, the battery-electric, light duty pickup has been continuously under development and upgraded.  Cybertruck will be produced at the new Austin facility along with what Musk is teasing as other breakthrough products which haven't been announced yet.

What We Know About the New Cybertruck

The Cybertruck on display at the Cyber Rodeo Giga Texas event has been significantly upgraded.  Unlike the first version, it has conventional rear-view mirrors.  The headlights are configured right beneath the front bodywork of the truck and there's a light strip where the hood meets the bumper.  It still has no doorhandles.  Musk says it recognizes the driver and automatically opens the door for them.

Three Versions

There appears to be no change in plans to offer the truck in three models.  The basic model has a single electric motor with rear drive.  It's priced at slightly below $40,000.  There is a dual motor version that is priced at slightly below $50,000.  And the tri motor version is priced at slightly below $70,000.  The range on a charge varies from 249 to 497 miles depending on the model.  And it can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 to 6.5 seconds, depending on the model.  More than 1 million customers have put down $100 to pre-order and reserve the Cybertruck.  The closest rival to the Cybertruck is the Ford F-150 Lightning with a price below $40,000 and deliveries promised by Ford in the next several months.  For more news like this, go to New Breakthrough Cars, Planes, Bike, Boats
