Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s pickup truck

Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s pickup truck

Published by Webster

Here’s everything you need to know about Tesla’s first pickup truck, which Elon Musk has called “heart-stopping” and his “personal favorite” of Tesla’s vehicles. Pickups have become more popular lately — their share of the US light vehicle market increased to 17.5 percent in 2019, from just under 13 percent in 2012. They’re also the fastest-growing auto segment in the US. That makes Tesla’s entry into pickups sensible, analysts say. Another pickup perk: pricing. Pickups tend to be expensive. Even with direct competition from established players (like Ford’s forthcoming electric F-150) and newcomers (like Rivian), there is a ton of money to be made in pickup trucks.

Cybertruck Designer Says Tesla Stainless Steel Pickup is No Experiment

Published by Webster

The angular, polarizing design of the Cybertruck will help boost the Tesla brand, the electric vehicle maker’s chief designer said on Thursday, adding that the pickup was no experiment. “Love it or hate it, it’s a conversation starter, and it gets people talking about the brand,” Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen said at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, which is adding Cybertruck models to a Tesla exhibit. The long-delayed Cybertruck starts at a price of $60,990, over 50% more than what CEO Elon Musk had touted in 2019, with a smaller range than originally promised. But it is drawing interest from people who have never owned a truck, with some potential owners queuing up for it at some Tesla showrooms, von Holzhausen said. “Just because it looks different doesn’t mean that it can’t be potentially a high volume vehicle,” he added, saying the pick-up measures up to the performance of traditional rivals. “There seems to be this air of doubt.” “We’re bringing people into the market that never would have owned a …
