Tesla Cybertruck Release Date

Tesla Cybertruck: A “Special Project”
Musk maintained his love for Cybertruck, even though he hyped it up after confirming that the delivery date was wrong.
Tesla founder Elon Musk described the Tesla electric truck as a “special project,” and said that it would be “like a glitch on the Matrix.”
Musk also stated that it would be “like Neo had a vehicle.”
Neo, the Matrix protagonist, sports futuristic stylings similar to that of the Cybertruck’s old-fashioned metal feature.

It turns out that Cybertruck fans, especially those who have pre-ordered it, will need to wait another year before they can drive the “glitch on the Matrix”.
On July 16, Tesla’s boss had already acknowledged that the Cybertruck would fail due to the design that Musk considers impressive.
Musk stated that he will continue to design the electric truck concept, even if others oppose it.
