 Elon Musk's E-Pickup and E-ATV Companion
The Tesla electric pickup truck, Cybertruck, and the electric ATV Cyberquad are known to be some of entrepreneur/Tesla CEO Elon Musk's favorite pet projects. He is looking to launch them in 2021.  Musk the marketer is pushing his new innovations.  As a teaser for Jay Lenno's show "Jay Lenno's Garage", Musk jumped on the body of his Cybertruck prototype, which is made of the same material he uses for his SpaceX rocket skins.  The body material didn't dent unlike the cybertruck's windows that famously cracked a few months ago when hit during a demonstration.  Musk is working on many improvements as he goes into production of his Cybertruck.

 Fascinating, Innovative Offerings
Musk expects to incorporate and offer some very innovative features on the Cybertruck.  Here are some examples:

  • Owners will have the option to "wrap" the pickup to get different colors on the vehicle
  • The adaptive air system is being updated
  • The size of the EV pickup is being cut by 3%
  • Musk has made the center line of the EV more level
  • Musk has lowered the window sill height
Plans and Goals For Final Production Version

  • Make the Cybertruck fit into the average garage
  • Use armored glass around the vehicle to protect it
  • Offer 3 price versions: high end of 500 miles range with 0 to :60 acceleration in 2.9 seconds
  • Start production of 2 higher end versions in 2nd half of 2021
  • Base version coming out later starting at $40,000
Musk is always a visionary with a solid plan.  This cybertruck has long been his dream product.
