Smaller Tesla Cybertruck Is Highly Likely, Says Elon Musk

If all goes as planneda big if given Tesla's historythe company will start producing the highly-anticipated Cybertruck in late 2021. Somewhere down the line, its likely well also see a smaller version of the electric pickup, according to a recent tweet from CEO Elon Musk . Highly likely down the road — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 4, 2020 Responding to a question about the possibility of a smaller truck for Europe, Musk said a smaller Tesla Cybertruck is highly likely down the road. The tweet echoes Musks comments in May, when he tweeted that the Cybertruck will remain about the same size as the concept and a smaller world truck will probably follow. Reviewed design with Franz last night. Even 3% smaller is too small. Will be pretty much this size. Well probably do a smaller, tight world truck at some point. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 23, 2020 Stretching around 230 inches in length, the Cybertruck we know and love is roughly as long as a Ford F-150 crew cab short bed. It is notably bigger than the Rivian R1T , with more than a foot in length over its rival. The Tesla has a much longer wheelbase as well as a larger bed. --> The upcoming Cybertruck will be available in single-, dual-, and tri-motor configurations. Range will vary from around 250 miles to 500 miles, depending on the battery chosen. In the robust tri-motor guise, the Cybertruck will be able to tow more than 14,000 pounds. Inside, the cabin can fit up to six people. Its unclear when well see the smaller Cybertruck, and whether or not it will have the same capabilities as the larger truck, but were glad to know its on Teslas radar. Also headed our way in the near future is the Tesla Semi, which is currently expected to begin deliveries in 2021. The lightning-quick Tesla Roadster will supposedly arrive within the next few years, too, boasting a claimed 1.9-second 0-60 time and a range of 620 miles.
