Tesla delays Cybertruck launch (Guide Autoweb)

The truck, made of shiny stainless steel and shaped into flat planes, is partly inspired by a car-turned-submarine in the 1977 James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me," Musk has said.

Its new body material and unconventional, futuristic styling has added complexity and costs to production, and threatens to alienate traditional pickup truck buyers who focus on utility, experts say.

But Musk, who has priced the vehicle's three variants between 60,990 USD and 100,000 USD said on Thursday the Cybertruck has "more utility than a truck" and is "faster than a sports car."

The cheapest  version will be available in 2025.
