Cybertruck at Giga Texas Looks Like Musk Driving on Mars

If you were looking for that special something to put a smile on your face and make you feel better about the coming weekend, then this might be it: Elon Musk, the Cybertruck, an under-construction Tesla factory, and a landscape that looks incredibly similar to the surface of Mars, all in one place.

Arguably the most anticipated new vehicle in recent history, the Cybertruck is yet to reach the road in customers' hands. But that doesn’t affect Musk, as his position within the company allows him to play around with prototypes and drive them to and fro for the ultimate kicks, both his own and ours.

What you’re looking at are allegedly photos of the man himself driving around in a Cybertruck during a visit to Giga Texas. Two pics of the moment were just posted on Tesla’s official Twitter account (see below), but you don’t have to settle for these.

Just Google Cybertruck Giga Texas, and your screen will be flooded with pics of the truck from the scene, as every construction worker on site stopped what they were doing and started posting stuff online and getting stills.

The visit made by the truck to this still unfinished facility is an important one not only because it gives us a chance to see the machine out in the open once more, but also because this is where Cybertrucks will be made, right alongside the Semi, Model 3 and Y.

Work on the facility is now in its final stages. In January, the foundations were poured for three high-press die-casting machines, and components started to arrive on site. Tesla hinted it plans to have most loose ends tied up by next month and expects production to begin not long after.

As for the Cybertruck, you can order yourself one in one of three available configurations, with prices starting from $39,900. Deliveries should begin by the end of the year.
