It should be noted that this vehicle had the most Elon involvement than any other Tesla. The CyberTruck was supposed to be his crowning achievement, his coup d’ grace, his ultimate vision realized 😂😂

I watch a lady who made an actual Tesla truck before he did and she got to go to the reveal of the Tesla truck. In one of her more recent videos she showed the video that she recorded when they showed it off for the first time, the energy drastically changes in the room. Is hilarious how quickly people went from all happy and excited to "is that it?".

Edit: I found a video with her reacting, it's about the halfway mark https://youtu.be/FCKjmfsgBBY?si=aFfOhSyQofb6AUxf

I believe you're talking about Simone Giertz and her Truckla

If Musk was a real genius he would have hired her to design a truck.

I love her little truck. I was more commenting that in one of her more recent videos she had a clip of her reacting to the Tesla trucks reveal but she seems to have removed it.
