AutoExec Summary
Elon Musk has revealed the Tesla Cybertruck, an electric ute, and has claimed that there are 187,000 orders for the vehicle. The Cybertruck is radically different from traditional trucks and features an exoskeleton made of thick, ultra-hard stainless steel. It can seat six, has a range of over 500km, and can tow 6350kg. The vehicle’s design was inspired by the underwater Lotus Elise and the movie Blade Runner. However, the Cybertruck’s global debut was marred by the live test of the “bulletproof” side windows, which resulted in the windows being shattered by a metal ball. This incident led to a 6% plunge in Tesla shares.

Brands mentioned: Ford, Chevrolet, Ram, Porsche, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla
