Elon Musk Aims To Make Tesla's Cybertruck's Turning Radius 'Significantly' Tighter With New Improvements
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Elon Musk announced that Tesla is working on improvements to the Cybertruck to significantly reduce its turning radius. Currently, the Cybertruck boasts a better turning radius than most sedans and its competitor, the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro. Tesla's Cybertruck deliveries began in late November with a starting price of $79,990, while the lower-priced version will be available in 2025. The Cybertruck is not yet eligible for the EV tax credit, unlike the Ford Lightning, but Tesla expects it to qualify later in 2024.
