Now Elon Musk is saying that the Cybertruck is stiffer than a McLaren P1 – and that it can’t roll over.
It's more like a politicians promises to get elected... they promise anything you want to hear to get your support, then disappoint you with the limitations of what can actually be accomplished
When Elon Musk took us to see the Cybertruck at our exclusive sneak peek in 2019, he pointed out that the windshield and the stainless steel skin of the Cybertruck would be "bulletproof." Specifically, the body would be resistant to 9mm rounds
In 2022, Elon Musk suggested (on Twitter, now X) that the Cybertruck could not only float but could also float well enough to travel from South Padre Island to SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica—a distance of at least several miles, as the crow flies, with a fair bit of water in between.
Tesla's ambitious $39,900 base single-motor pickup was always a long shot, and Musk has all but explicitly confirmed it isn't coming. The $39,900 version of the truck was dropped from the consumer website way back in 2021. Given the moving target of promises swirling about the Cybertruck, we might continue to see claims that lower-priced versions could emerge. But don't believe it until you see it. Tesla's site—now that production has actually started—shows $60,990 as the entry price, which applies to the rear-wheel-drive version due in 2025. The tri-motor examples shown at launch, which are dubbed "Cyberbeasts," carry a $99,990 price tag.
