"Cybertruck doesn't look like anything I've seen bouncing around the Internet. It's closer to an armoured personnel carrier from the future," Musk had said in a tweet last month.

Carmakers including Ford Motor and General Motors are racing to design radical new takes on their most profitable pickup truck models, replacing petroleum-fuelled engines with batteries in a bid to outflank Tesla's plan to eclipse their brands.

Ford's F-150 pickup and GM's Chevrolet Silverado are the top-selling vehicles in the US market.

The reveal would happen a day before the Los Angeles Auto Show opens to the public, according to its website laautoshow.com.
