Not existing? They built an entire factory for it in Texas, is in going through crash testing, qualification, and the truck is regularly seen on test runs around their offices. This just seems like a lazy hit piece with little actual information even though there is a lot out there if you actually follow the development.

Tesla needs to fire Musk, abandon the childish and already dated Cybertruck and just build a normal truck/SUV. One that can compete with popular offerings from Rivian, Ford etc. and soon to be Porsche, RangeRover etc.

And that can be easily sold globally unlike Cybertruck which has concerns from Australian regulators (and likely others) about whether it would be street legal given its unique sharp metal corners at children height design.

I'm not sure that video is evidence for anything more than a single cybertruck existing.

It doesn’t matter. You can’t buy it.

This is like reading developers say, “We’re almost done!” and you’ve only now pushed to the test environment. No QA, no UAT, nothing.

If it’s not in production, it doesn’t exist.

That's our secret, we were working in production the whole time.

sad 2020 Roadster noises

It's been 5 years, wow...

On the other hand, I actually believe Tesla is right to prioritize scaling production for their existing Model 3 / Y demand. Their problem is not generating more demand (things like Cybertruck, Roadster, etc.) but in producing the supply for existing demand. They've always been short on that, for good reason (hard to scale production fast, huge organic demand).

As far as I can tell they still haven't added the third brake light, so I don't think it's street legal anywhere.
