Tesla’s new Cybertruck, unveiled Thursday, looks like something out of a Ridley Scott sci-fi dystopia and is finally available for pre-order after years of secrecy and development.
According to Forbes, Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, debuted the vehicle on Thursday to a packed house at the Tesla Design Center in Los Angeles. Jagged, steely and austere, the titan of an automobile withstood ballistic projectiles, close-range pummeling with steel balls and several enthusiastic attempts at battering its doors with a sledgehammer. Aside from superficial starburst cracks on the front and rear passenger windows, the Cybertruck remained virtually unblemished. The pickup can stash and charge a companion ATV in its cargo bed and is fully electric, marking another successful addition to Musk’s expanding fleet of non-emission vehicles.
