Vehicles will compete with pickup truck such as GMC’s Hummer EV, Ford F-150 Lightning and By Rivian R1T. Among them, the R1T is driven by four individual motors that power all four wheels, and GMC’s Hummer can drive diagonally.
Tesla’s pickup truck, first announced in 2019, is made of the stainless steel used in the rocket, and Musk claims to have received several hundred thousand orders for the Cybertruck when pre-orders opened.
