Mules, or test vehicles, require testing in real-world conditions before they get released. However, they may garner the attention of bystanders, fans, and paparazzi even before their prime-time release.
Previously, Elon Musk announced that owners of the futuristic Cybetruck may opt to have it coated in any pattern or color. While the costs of such features are yet to be revealed, reports suggest that they may cost thousands of dollars.
The National News adds that anticipation over the Cybetruck's release has been growing. Elon Musk has posited that the Tesla Cybertruck will be released to the market later this year, in 2023. He explained that the demand for the electric vehicle has gotten strong but that it would require time for the radical product's manufacturing line to get going.
MailOnline reports that Tesla has communicated with its part suppliers for the Cybertruck, dubbed Project Everest. Tesla has told them to be ready for 375,000 Cybertrucks to be produced each year.
The release of the long-awaited Cybertruck has been anticipated for a long time. It was first unveiled by Elon Musk in November 2019. Since then, it has been the subject of several news headlines.
