Tesla won’t sit by the wayside as electric trucks
Musk also reiterated that the Cybertruck’s design will be “almost exactly” what you saw at the introduction in November 2019, although he teased that there were many “other great things” in the pipeline. The pickup is still due to enter production in late 2021.
Rear-wheel steering may be virtually necessary. The Cybertruck is large even by truck standards — it might be a tough sell if it’s difficult to steer out of a parking lot. Moreover, rivals like GMC, Rivian and Ford are all launching electric trucks that might match or sometimes beat Tesla’s feature set. The category has changed since the Cybertruck introduction, and Tesla risks losing some business if it doesn’t update its technology.
Friday afternoons are usually Tesla design studio time. Cybertruck will be almost exactly what was shown. We’re adding rear wheel steering, so it can do tight turns & maneuver with high agility.
Lot of other great things coming.
