Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has shared some additional information about the production-spec Cybertruck on Twitter, revealing that some styling changes will be made.
To say the Tesla Cybertruck has been controversial would be an understatement, with many criticizing its simplistic exterior design. Quizzed on Twitter if the overall look of the electric pickup will remain, Musk said it’ll be “slightly better.”

Just what this means is unclear. However, a number of safety groups around the world have said the design of the Cybertruck presented back in November will need to be altered if it’s to hit the market. One of the matters debated online regarding the Cybertruck was related to the vehicle’s stainless steel body and how it will perform in crashes. It has been promoted as being very rigid and seemingly incapable of crumpling like the body of a normal car.

Design aside, Musk has also revealed that the Cybertruck will be equipped with a payload towing calculator that will inform owners how much they can carry depending on the driving scenario. In addition, the outspoken chief executive says the pickup includes active ride height and active damping that “are game-changing for a truck or any car with a high max/min weight ratio.”
Tesla has a lot of time up its sleeve before the Cybertruck reaches the hands of customers. In fact, production of the range-topping Tri-Motor model isn’t scheduled until late 2021, while the cheaper dual-motor and single-motor variants are penciled in for 2022.
