On a serious note, he revealed that the vehicle might have to be shrunk to be able to fit inside a regular garage, 5% smaller, to be precise. The design, however, will be the same. He also added that the visibility line needs some more work before it enters production. The first cybertrucks are scheduled to be ready by late 2021 for commercial sale.

It was further revealed that the vehicle is intended to serve as a pickup truck. It includes a 100 cubic ft bed as well. The cybertruck will also provide options between three engines, which will provide different levels of performance.
After the reveal last year, experts raised concerns as the vehicle looked too heavy for normal use. The model exposed a heavy steel cover and bulletproof panes, along with three engines. It’s not really how consumer-friendly cars look like these days.
While powering through the tunnels in Elon Musk’s cybertruck, Leno joked about a possible earthquake, to which Musk simply responded by asking him to drive faster.
