BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — Appears just like the Tesla Cybertruck has made its strategy to Michigan.
I used to be at a vehicles and occasional occasion on Woodward Avenue Saturday morning, and rumors {that a} Cybertruck was within the space had been circulating on social media this week. With temps nearing 50 levels, I figured I’d reap the benefits of the climate and do yet another automotive occasion this 12 months.
My was son was recreation, so we headed over to Pasteiner’s, an area automotive and pastime store that hosts among the finest vehicles and coffees within the Midwest. As we checked out a Ferrari Dino, Lambo Espada and some Mustangs (you get a greater turnout right here the week earlier than Christmas than some automotive reveals do in July), the grey blur of the Tesla caught my eye.
Is that this a pre-production mannequin? Is there a Cybertruck proprietor within the space? Exhausting to say. My guess is the driving force is aware of of the vehicles and occasional and didn’t simply occur to do a turnaround on Woodward in entrance it. However who is aware of?
The primary 10 manufacturing models had been handed out in late November as Tesla kicked off manufacturing on the Gigafactory in Texas. The Cyberbeast and all-wheel drive Cybertrucks arrive in 2024, whereas the rear-wheel drive variants arrive in 2025. The stainless-steel truck affords as a lot as 350 miles of vary and takes purpose at electrical vans from GM, Ford and Rivian.
I blinked and this Cybertruck was gone. A gray ghost on Woodward. It’s laborious to get learn on construct high quality or anything from this fast glimpse. In actual life, the metal wedge stands out, and the lights up entrance glowed brightly within the murky December gloom. Full disclosure, I did flippantly edit the picture to take away a pole that obscured the again fender. There’s a good quantity of Tesla homeowners in Metro Detroit, so I think about we’ll be seeing extra Cybertrucks quickly.
