About Tesla Cybertruck

The official Tesla website describes that the “Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.” The site further explains that the vehicle has “versatile utility” and “awesome adaptability.”

The vehicle is scheduled to go on sale in a few days. However, even before its release, it has created a huge buzz among people. While some are excited about the vehicle, others are labelling it as “ludicrous”, reports Forbes.
