Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, spent Thursday's annual shareholder meeting discussing the potential role that robotics and autonomous vehicles will play in the future and providing updates on the corporation's automobile industry.
Elon Musk Teases Possible International Expansion for Cybertruck
Musk has shared information regarding the Cybertruck, Tesla's much-anticipated stainless steel pickup truck. He first said that Tesla "might certify it for other markets sometime next year." This means you should prepare to watch films of massive Cybertrucks trapped on congested streets in Europe.
The Cybertruck, according to Musk, was developed to meet the specifications for vehicles in North America. Because the United States is known as the pickup truck capital of the world, this makes perfect sense. Musk said that if the vehicle had been designed for international sale, it would have been "frankly and significantly worse."
According to him, for the corporation to sell it in other countries, it will need to create a unique version in accordance with the norms of either Europe or China. Other markets, for example, have pedestrian-impact safety requirements, which may provide a barrier for the behemoth with a blunt nose.
Tesla to Phase Out Foundation Series Cybertrucks and Introduce New Models Next Quarter
Regarding other Cybertruck-related developments, Musk stated that Tesla would cease manufacturing Foundation Series trucks "pretty soon" and begin manufacturing models not part of the Foundation Series sometime in the next quarter. Since the beginning of the delivery process in November, everyone who desired a Cybertruck was required to pay an additional $20,000 for a Foundation Series.
Although these early trucks come with a few additional attachments and possibilities, the most appealing aspect is arguably the bragging rights of owning one of the first Cybertrucks ever produced. "Full self-driving" is another important feature included in the package; however, Autopilot has not yet been activated on any Cybertruck. This is because Tesla vehicles do not have autonomous driving capabilities.
