Elon Musk is known for being fairly offbeat in his management style, but the Tesla CEO is positively laid-back about the possibility of the Tesla Cybertruck proving to be a failure. Unveiled in 2019, Telsa’s first pickup is one of a number of electric trucks on the calendar at this point, but there’s no denying that it’s still the more unusual to look at. That polarizing aesthetic – part Blade Runner, part NASA Lunar rover – certainly prompted plenty of conversations back when Musk unveiled it, as did the list of specifications. The Cybertruck would start at $39,900, Musk promised, have at least 250 miles of range, tow up to 14,000 pounds, and feature a 6.5-foot bed with a power-retractable cover. Since then, of course, we’ve seen various iterations of the Model 3, Model S, and other Tesla cars arrive, including the latest Plaid version of the most expensive EVs. The Cybertruck, though, is still a work-in-progress. Musing on Twitter, Musk proved surprisingly upfront about the chance that the electric pickup could prove too extreme for the segment.
