00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,520
Hi everybody and welcome back to
the Elon Musk podcast where we 

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,560
bring you the latest on Elon 
Musk's companies, SpaceX, Tesla,

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,000
This new Cyber Truck coming in 
pretty soon. 

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,720
Hopefully we bring that to you 
every day in 15 minutes or less.

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,240
So please take a second and 
follow or subscribe on whatever 

6
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,680
podcast app that you're 
listening on right now. 

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,680
Now let's get into some Cyber 
Truck news because this is a 

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,520
pretty cool vehicle. 
Now, the much anticipated launch

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,870
of Tesla Cyber Truck is showing 
signs of imminent realization as

10
00:00:31,870 --> 00:00:35,150
multiple units of the futuristic
electric pickup truck were 

11
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:37,910
spotted at the automaker's 
gigafactory in Texas. 

12
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:41,630
According to new drone footage 
and eyewitness accounts down 

13
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:43,790
there. 
Now, a drone pilot who regularly

14
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:48,230
monitors Tesla's Texas factory 
captured images of nine covered 

15
00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:51,470
vehicles resembling the distinct
shape of cyber trucks in the 

16
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:54,590
factory's outbound 
transportation lot on August 

17
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:57,800
13th, 2023. 
The vehicles were later seen 

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,840
being transported to an unknown 
destination. 

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Now, the reason behind the 
covered cyber trucks is unclear,

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,200
but speculation points to either
protection from weather or the 

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,440
concealment of specific details 
of the vehicles. 

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,760
And these vehicles could 
represent a batch of the first 

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,240
cyber trucks meant for delivery.
Now inside the Gigafactory 

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,000
though, more cyber trucks were 
observed, potentially indicating

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,210
that Tesla is progressing 
towards the official 

26
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:28,690
commencement of the production 
now. 

27
00:01:28,690 --> 00:01:31,530
The presence of these vehicles 
aligns with previous sightings 

28
00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:36,170
of cyber trucks on roads in 
California and at least 5 units 

29
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:38,690
in New Zealand for cold weather 
testing. 

30
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:42,530
Now, the recent sightings have 
fueled expectations that Tesla 

31
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:44,970
is approaching the start of 
production for the cyber Truck, 

32
00:01:45,250 --> 00:01:47,770
a vehicle that has captured 
significant attention for its 

33
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:50,450
innovative design and electric 
capabilities. 

34
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:54,330
And Tesla CEO Elon Musk has 
previously hinted at a delivery 

35
00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:57,400
event that might occur before 
the end of the third quarter of 

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,640
2023. 
Now, while excitement grows 

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720
around the spotted cyber trucks,
there have been incidents 

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920
involving prototypes. 
During Tesla's evolving test 

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,759
program, a release candidate 
cyber Truck was found seemingly 

40
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:15,280
broken down by the side of the 
Interstate 280 Almonte exit in 

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Los Altos Hills. 
In an onlooker reported a Tesla 

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,800
employee working under the hood 
before the vehicle was covered 

43
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,570
and left abandoned. 
This breakdown should not 

44
00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:28,010
necessarily be interpreted as a 
red flag, as it's common for 

45
00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:30,890
test vehicles to encounter 
issues and breakdowns during 

46
00:02:30,890 --> 00:02:34,090
testing can help the company 
identify and correct potential 

47
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:37,850
problems before they appear in 
mass produced vehicles. 

48
00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:41,650
Now close examination of the 
incidence images have provided 

49
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:44,690
insight into the cyber trucks 
More refined features including 

50
00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:48,370
the opening for the required 
external speaker for pedestrian 

51
00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:52,650
warnings and what seems to be 
the structural battery pack and 

52
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:55,890
such refinement and fitting and 
details is promising for a 

53
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:59,010
release candidate. 
Now Tesla is yet to disclose the

54
00:02:59,010 --> 00:03:02,810
final pricing and specifications
for the cyber truck. 

55
00:03:03,370 --> 00:03:06,090
Observers anticipate that the 
details will be announced at a 

56
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:09,330
delivery event which might 
happen at the end of September 

57
00:03:09,530 --> 00:03:11,650
and the first batch of 
deliveries is expected to be 

58
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:15,010
limited and could be directed. 
And a select group of Tesla 

59
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:19,210
employees and insiders, such as 
board members and the cyber 

60
00:03:19,210 --> 00:03:21,290
trucks Official start of 
production represents a 

61
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:25,390
significant milestone for Tesla 
as it strives to revolutionize 

62
00:03:25,390 --> 00:03:28,390
the electric vehicle industry. 
Now, the launch has been closely

63
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:30,350
watched by analysts and 
enthusiasts alike. 

64
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:33,510
Given Tesla's track record of 
disrupting traditional 

65
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:37,030
automotive markets, the electric
pickup truck is reportedly 

66
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:40,750
undergoing final validation and 
the multiple sightings of cyber 

67
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:44,510
trucks inside and outside the 
Gigafactory are seen as a robust

68
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:47,310
indication that the launch 
timeline might be met. 

69
00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:51,830
And these recent discoveries, 
alongside ongoing tests of the 

70
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:54,230
cyber truck suspension in 
California and other 

71
00:03:54,230 --> 00:03:57,950
preparations, underlined Tesla's
commitment to ensuring that the 

72
00:03:57,950 --> 00:04:01,470
vehicle is ready for production.
And with the end of September 

73
00:04:01,470 --> 00:04:05,150
drawing near, anticipation is 
building for the official launch

74
00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:08,230
of the cyber truck. 
Now we're waiting for the specs,

75
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:11,430
we're waiting for The pricing 
and the appearance of multiple 

76
00:04:11,430 --> 00:04:15,190
cyber trucks ready for shipment 
adds to the conviction that 

77
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:19,450
Tesla's futuristic pickup truck 
is poised to make its mark on 

78
00:04:19,450 --> 00:04:23,290
the automotive landscape. 
A Tesla did not immediately 

79
00:04:23,290 --> 00:04:26,930
respond to our request for 
comment on the latest sightings 

80
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:29,050
in the status of cyber trucks 
production. 

81
00:04:29,410 --> 00:04:32,570
They never really comment on 
these things, so can't really 

82
00:04:32,570 --> 00:04:35,570
ask for much or can't really 
expect much from them. 

83
00:04:35,970 --> 00:04:39,010
Now there's countless fans of 
the cyber truck and there's 

84
00:04:39,010 --> 00:04:42,970
countless buyers waiting for it,
and these recent glimpses offer 

85
00:04:42,970 --> 00:04:46,730
a promising sign that the wait 
may be soon over. 

86
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:49,530
Now, the forthcoming months will
provide a critical view and a 

87
00:04:49,530 --> 00:04:53,530
Tesla's ability to actually 
deliver the Cyber Truck on time 

88
00:04:53,970 --> 00:04:58,690
and it could possibly solidify 
the Cyber trucks place in the EV

89
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:01,890
revolution that's happening 
right now in front of us. 

90
00:05:02,490 --> 00:05:04,290
