- The Cybertruck features an ultra-strong stainless steel shell and Tesla armor glass but lacks clear environmental claims.
- Despite over a million reservations, details on exact sales figures and launch timing remain undisclosed.
- Environmentalists criticize its heavy, material-intensive construction as conflicting with Musk’s original climate ambitions.
- Market success depends on its functionality as a pickup, with forecasts of up to 250,000 units sold in 2024.
