Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently teased a cyberpunk-style Cybertruck in a new post on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

Musk, known for his unorthodox ways of making announcements, shared an image of the Tesla Cybertruck adorned with neon lights. 

The scene depicted a futuristic Tokyo at nighttime, complete with light rain, reminiscent of the aesthetic seen in the Blade Runner movie.

The Tesla Cybertruck is a battery electric medium-duty full-size pickup truck built by Tesla, Inc. since 2023. 

Introduced as a concept vehicle in November 2019, it features a body design reminiscent of low-polygon modeling, consisting of flat stainless steel sheet panels. 

Tesla initially planned to produce the vehicle in 2021, but it entered production in 2023 and was first delivered to customers in late November 2023. 

Three models are offered: a tri-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) "Cyberbeast," a dual-motor AWD model, and a rear-wheel drive (RWD) model, with EPA range estimates of 250–340 miles (400–550 km), varying by model. 

As of December 2023, the Cybertruck is available only in North America.

Musk's post has sparked excitement and speculation among fans and followers, eager to see what new features or designs this version of the Cybertruck might include.
