bring you the latest on Elon Musk's companies, SpaceX, Tesla,
This new Cyber Truck coming in pretty soon.
Hopefully we bring that to you every day in 15 minutes or less.
So please take a second and follow or subscribe on whatever
podcast app that you're listening on right now.
Now let's get into some Cyber Truck news because this is a
pretty cool vehicle. Now, the much anticipated launch
of Tesla Cyber Truck is showing signs of imminent realization as
multiple units of the futuristic electric pickup truck were
spotted at the automaker's gigafactory in Texas.
According to new drone footage and eyewitness accounts down
there. Now, a drone pilot who regularly
monitors Tesla's Texas factory captured images of nine covered
vehicles resembling the distinct shape of cyber trucks in the
factory's outbound transportation lot on August
13th, 2023. The vehicles were later seen
being transported to an unknown destination.
Now, the reason behind the covered cyber trucks is unclear,
but speculation points to either protection from weather or the
concealment of specific details of the vehicles.
And these vehicles could represent a batch of the first
cyber trucks meant for delivery. Now inside the Gigafactory
though, more cyber trucks were observed, potentially indicating
that Tesla is progressing towards the official
commencement of the production now.
The presence of these vehicles aligns with previous sightings
of cyber trucks on roads in California and at least 5 units
in New Zealand for cold weather testing.
Now, the recent sightings have fueled expectations that Tesla
is approaching the start of production for the cyber Truck,
a vehicle that has captured significant attention for its
innovative design and electric capabilities.
And Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously hinted at a delivery
event that might occur before the end of the third quarter of
2023. Now, while excitement grows
around the spotted cyber trucks, there have been incidents
involving prototypes. During Tesla's evolving test
program, a release candidate cyber Truck was found seemingly
broken down by the side of the Interstate 280 Almonte exit in
Los Altos Hills. In an onlooker reported a Tesla
employee working under the hood before the vehicle was covered
and left abandoned. This breakdown should not
necessarily be interpreted as a red flag, as it's common for
test vehicles to encounter issues and breakdowns during
testing can help the company identify and correct potential
problems before they appear in mass produced vehicles.
Now close examination of the incidence images have provided
insight into the cyber trucks More refined features including
the opening for the required external speaker for pedestrian
warnings and what seems to be the structural battery pack and
such refinement and fitting and details is promising for a
release candidate. Now Tesla is yet to disclose the
final pricing and specifications for the cyber truck.
Observers anticipate that the details will be announced at a
delivery event which might happen at the end of September
and the first batch of deliveries is expected to be
limited and could be directed. And a select group of Tesla
employees and insiders, such as board members and the cyber
trucks Official start of production represents a
significant milestone for Tesla as it strives to revolutionize
the electric vehicle industry. Now, the launch has been closely
watched by analysts and enthusiasts alike.
Given Tesla's track record of disrupting traditional
automotive markets, the electric pickup truck is reportedly
undergoing final validation and the multiple sightings of cyber
trucks inside and outside the Gigafactory are seen as a robust
indication that the launch timeline might be met.
And these recent discoveries, alongside ongoing tests of the
cyber truck suspension in California and other
preparations, underlined Tesla's commitment to ensuring that the
vehicle is ready for production. And with the end of September
drawing near, anticipation is building for the official launch
of the cyber truck. Now we're waiting for the specs,
we're waiting for The pricing and the appearance of multiple
cyber trucks ready for shipment adds to the conviction that
Tesla's futuristic pickup truck is poised to make its mark on
the automotive landscape. A Tesla did not immediately
respond to our request for comment on the latest sightings
in the status of cyber trucks production.
They never really comment on these things, so can't really
ask for much or can't really expect much from them.
Now there's countless fans of the cyber truck and there's
countless buyers waiting for it, and these recent glimpses offer
a promising sign that the wait may be soon over.
Now, the forthcoming months will provide a critical view and a
Tesla's ability to actually deliver the Cyber Truck on time
and it could possibly solidify the Cyber trucks place in the EV
revolution that's happening right now in front of us.
