In recent days, Tesla has left the world speculating about the long-awaited Cybertruck. On October 20, a "leaked" video on Twitter showcased the Cybertruck cruising on a highway, bearing dents from a simulated machine gun test. Later, on October 31, Joe Rogan took a shot at the Cybertruck, attempting to pierce its door trim with a powerful bow – spoiler alert: he didn't succeed.

Tesla's promotional tactics are raising eyebrows, as they gear up for the release of their first electric pickup truck. Despite a surge in pre-orders, many potential buyers have grown impatient with the prolonged delays.

The most recent mass cancellations came after leaked Tesla documents hinted at issues with the Cybertruck. Experts argue that these issues are routine mechanical engineering problems that most automakers have already tackled.

Tesla's last new model was introduced in 2020, and critics suggest that the company lags behind competitors who are aggressively developing electric vehicles. Most automakers refresh their lineup within three to five years, whereas the Tesla Model S has been around for more than a decade. As other companies plan to release dozens of new models, Tesla's ability to deliver the Cybertruck still hangs in the balance.

Is the Cybertruck merely a marketing ploy? It boasts impressive specs, but practical issues have emerged, including handling problems during pre-production testing. Tesla's innovative features, like bulletproofing, have raised questions about their true value.

Tesla's unique manufacturing methods, relying on an exoskeleton rather than an endoskeleton, have created production challenges. The angular stainless steel design, while visually striking, may also make repairs difficult and pose potential safety concerns.

Torsional stiffness, a crucial factor in vehicle stability, has been a concern, and rectifying it could compromise the Cybertruck's design.

Tesla's entry into the truck market faces stiff competition from established manufacturers with decades of experience. While Tesla promises impressive specs, it needs to source or engineer many parts from scratch, a disadvantage compared to competitors like Ford's F-150 Lightning.

In conclusion, manufacturing the Cybertruck is a complex and costly endeavor. The decision to invest in this electric truck should be made thoughtfully. Is it just a marketing gimmick, or does it truly represent a leap in automotive innovation? The answer may lie in the details uncovered in this video.
