The excitement surrounding Elon Musk’s highly-anticipated Tesla Cybertruck continues to rise, despite the fact that the futuristic idea has repeatedly been delayed in the past few years.
It was discovered that Tesla had secretly removed its promise of production in 2022 from its website. Originally, Tesla was planning to launch the car from 2021. However, a video now appears to show the prototype.
Although the video doesn’t look impressive, it does appear that it impressed those who made it.
Although it is called “fragile”, the individual recording praises the large storage compartment to the rear, and the gigantic windscreen wiper.
The video, which posted to the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, offers the closest glimpse yet of the Tesla prototype, which generated a lot of buzz when it was brought to New York City ahead of Musk’s Saturday Night Live appearance in May last year.
It provides a 360° look at the vehicle as the person walks around, giving viewers a look at the wheels, tailgate, and storage bed of the cybertruck.
Tesla quietly removed 2022 production promise from its website earlier this month. It had originally delayed vehicle debuts from 2021. But a new video appears to have a model of it.
It was filmed by a person who praises the front of the truck but not the rest. They said that it looks like a refrigerator made out of stainless steel.
Although it is sometimes called “fragile”, the recording shows that the owner praises the large storage area to the rear as well as the giant, oversized windscreen wiper.

Cybertruck Owners Club posted the video to their forum. The video gives us a close-up view of the Tesla prototype. This was before Musk made his Saturday Night Live appearance.

This version doesn’t have any door handles, unlike the prototype shown during Tesla’s 2019 announcement event, but the recording appears to suggest you can tap your phone or a keycard on a sensor to open the door.
The video does not appear to be the prototype. However, it’s a concept and there are good chances that it will look significantly different once it goes on the market.
This video was leaked just one month after the Cybertruck’s new design was captured on camera at Fremont’s California test track. It prompted a lot of mockery on social media about the vehicle.
It was obvious that the truck’s wiper extended almost to the roof, dominating its aesthetics.
@PMack1224 tweeted, “Literally nobody is going to buy it.” It’s reminiscent of one of my son’s Lego cars. This is actually a disservice to his cars, which look much better. He is 4.
Musk claimed that rear view mirrors were a requirement of law for the shipment of the final prototype. Musk disagreed.
Musk however claims he does not care whether people like or dislike the truck.
The Tesla billionaire, last July, tweeted that there was always a chance Cybertruck would fail, as it’s so different from anything else. ‘I don’t care. It’s something I love, even though others may not.
While the video seems to be the prototype, there’s still a chance the final product will look very different.

The electric truck was shown with a wiper that extended from the hood almost to the sunroof. This visually dominates the vehicle’s aesthetics
Musk had claimed that the Cybertruck would come at a cost of $39900, and it could tow 7500lbs. However, these claims vanished when they were first made public.
Cybertruck debuted with its futuristic vehicle design and an angular side that divided the internet, in November 2019.
Musk claimed that the truck’s glass is shatterproof when he unveiled it to the public in 2019. However, he was proved wrong by an engineer who smashed the window in front of a live audience.
Cybertuck has a futuristic design that includes armor glass.
As recently as December, the Tesla website had promised customers that they could complete the ‘configuration’ of their vehicles ‘as production nears in 2022’. But a month later and the page has since been updated to read that the ‘configurations’ could be finished ‘as production nears’.
Tesla hasn’t commented yet, however the announcement suggests another delay in rolling out the futuristic-style truck. This was initially promised to Tesla in early 2021.
After its market debut, it was pushed back until 2022. Musk, Tesla CEO, cited Covid to have triggered a “supply chain nightmare”.
When the Cybertruck was first announced, Musk claimed it would cost $39,900 (£29,500) and would tow up to 7,500lbs Those claims have also disappeared and were scrubbed from the website at some point last year.
Cybertruck was first introduced in November 2019 with its futuristic, armored vehicle look and angular sides that divide the internet.
However, the unveiling went horribly wrong when Tesla’s chief design officer Franz von Holshausen appeared on the podium at a highly publicized launch event in order to show that the glass is’shatterproof’.
Musk then very quickly proved it wasn’t when he threw a metal ball at a window — smashing it.
He was heard muttering ‘oh my f***ing God’ when his showpiece test failed.
Musk took to Twitter to share the reason why his Cybertruck’s windows broke after a failure in strength testing at its launch.
The base of the window’s glass was said to have been broken during previous demos.
Cybertruck — alongside Tesla’s Semi and Model Y — will feature the new 4680 battery cell, which was revealed in September 2020 during the firm’s Battery Day.
Although the company has “successfully validated the performance and lifespan of the batteries”, it has much more to do to increase production.
Numerous outlets reported that Tesla received over 1,000,000 pre-orders of its Cybertruck.
You can still get them online for $100.
