Tesla Cybertruck: Features
This is the first time the Cybertruck has been seen with mirrors like this, replacing off-the-shelf mirrors in previously spotted iterations. The truck’s redesign can be related to its approaching production because rear-view mirrors are now required by law in the US as standard equipment for all vehicles. Tesla initially planned to use cameras in the center display to provide a rearward feed.
The latest iteration of the Cybertruck also featured a retractable flatbed cover for the first time, indicating that full-scale production of the model is soon to follow.
Elon Musk tweeted on February 1 about how happy he was with the truck’s beta version. ” I was just reviewing the production beta Cybertruck. It is incredible.”
Tesla Cybertruck: When Will The Production Begin?
The truck’s initial release date was set for 2021 when it was first revealed in 2019. Tesla has missed numerous launch deadlines over the past four years, but it recently revealed that the Cybertruck will finally start rolling out of its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, this summer. However, Musk has confirmed that mass production won’t begin until 2024.
The Tesla Cybertruck has been one of the most eagerly awaited electric vehicles in the world since its release in 2019. The Semi already on the market, and more than 1.3 million cars delivered worldwide in 2022; it is now time for the Tesla Cybertruck to complete its development and be prepared for production.
