Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck will get full-steering chassis and “many other great things”
Elon Musk was asked by a Twitter user to share the news about the upcoming Cybertruck electric pickup truck, which should begin production before the end of this year. And he answered.
Musk said that he usually spends Friday night at Tesla’s design studio and confirmed that the Cybertruck will be much the same as it was shown to the public. But the most important thing is that the car will receive a fully controlled chassis: not only the wheels of the front, but also the rear axle will turn. This will make the pickup more maneuverable and reduce the turning radius: since the Cybertruck is a large vehicle, the fully steerable chassis will make it much more convenient for turning on narrow streets, parking in tight streets, etc. Something similar is implemented in another electric pickup – the GMC Hummer EV. It can move diagonally, a feature GM called it Crab Walk.
Friday afternoons are usually Tesla design studio time. Cybertruck will be almost exactly what was shown. We’re adding rear wheel steering, so it can do tight turns & maneuver with high agility. Lot of other great things coming.

Elon Musk also promised “many other great things” to Cybertruck. Which ones? It’s not clear yet, but Tesla knows how to surprise.

Iln Musk sells Tesla stock for $7 billion

According to The Wall Street Journal, citing US regulators, Tesla CEO and largest shareholder Elon Musk has sold nearly $7 billion worth of Tesla shares.
This comes amid uncertainty over the fate of his $44 billion Twitter deal. He sold the shares in case the court ordered him to buy Twitter, so as not to rush to sell the assets at a reduced cost, the publication believes. The shares were sold between Friday and Tuesday, leaving him with about 15% of the company’s shares.
At the end of April, Elon Musk sold $4 billion worth of Tesla shares amid an agreement with Twitter management to buy the company. In July, the entrepreneur refused to buy a social network due to the fact that Twitter, according to him, hides the real information about the number of fake accounts on the social network.
Twitter sued the billionaire for refusing to complete the deal. On August 6, the businessman said he was ready to make a deal if Twitter provided full information about the number of bots on the social network.
