From Transport Evolved.
On Thursday last week, Tesla unveiled its production version of Cybertruck, and began deliveries of the same. Four years after it was first revealed as a prototype however, lots has changed – from the range and specs to vehicle size and price.
While we covered some of the news from the event in our TEN News Roundup show last weekend, many were unhappy about our lack of depth, so today we’re giving you a deep dive – and our considered opinions – a week after the dust has settled.
