Tesla unveils the Cybertruck, its 'bulletproof' electric pickup

(CNN Business)The Cybertruck has arrived and it looks nothing like any pickup truck you've ever seen. Years after first saying it was on the way, Tesla finally revealed the electric pickup truck at its Design Studio in Hawthorne, California, just outside Los Angeles.
When the truck initially drove onto the stage, many in the crowd clearly couldn't believe that this was actually the vehicle they'd come to see. The Cybertruck looks like a large metal trapezoid on wheels, more like an art piece than a truck.

Pics and more at link.

Meanwhile Ford could make a full EV next year. Its war time production now for them.

Tesla has set the price levels perhaps. $40k (plus tax minus tax credits) for the basic model with 300 mile range is attractive for many pick up buyers.

Like the features and the design is OK

Holds up to 6 people and cargo plus great towing specs.

It will never see retail release in that form, I'm sure, but if it does, it will not sell in enough numbers to be profitable. Sorry Elon.
