Tesla’s Cybertruck was out this weekend, and we can say that the electric SUV caused a sensation around the beaches of Malibu.
Videos and testimonials regarding the release ofa production Cybertruck on the outskirts of Malibu flock to social networks. In addition to being able to observe the 100% electric pick-up from the American manufacturer from all angles, passers-by and fans of beautiful cars were able to discover the new matte black envelope of the vehicle. Will it be offered to future buyers of the utility vehicle? Nothing is less certain as the production of the car is problematic, between safety problems and rising manufacturing costs.

It was Tesla’s chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, who drove the Cybertruck this weekend, during a event taking place in Santa Monica. If we trust the comments on social networks, his work is not unanimous. With its appearance of Tumbler (Batman’s assault tank), the Cybertruck is heavy, bulky and powerful, which will not displease the millions of customers who have pre-ordered it. That said, to other potential customers, the car looks beautiful from some angles…and hideous from others.

Other Internet users mention that this new matte color “will be a little difficult to spot at night if the lights are off”, which could be frightening for other road users. That said, this is the first time that the company presents its most anticipated car in a finish likely to be marketed. This will be the color used by the police force who have already placed orders.
So far, during its unofficial outings, the Cybertruck has either been wrapped in some pretty ugly camouflage, or in its simplest dress, made of a proprietary stainless steel alloy. We’ll know more about the available options soon, as the vehicle’s launch event is scheduled for November 30, 2023.
