Tesla Cybertruck will be 'an insane technology bandwagon', says CEO Elon Musk
While the wait for Tesla Cybertruck may be getting longer, the excitement and discussions around the pickup truck is still going strong, alongside the reservations. The EV company's CEO Elon Musk recently said that the Cybertruck will feature Tesla's flagship tech for future, meaning it will be a technology powerhouse.
While replying to a Twitter user asking if Cybertruck will come with a yoke instead of a traditional steering wheel, Musk wrote, “Cybertruck is intentionally an insane technology bandwagon." In another comment, he said, “Cybertruck will reach far into a post-apocalyptic future & bring that technology to now." Though he did not specifically answer the question about yoke, it is quite likely that Cybertruck will come with a yoke given Musk's liking for the technology.
