I've been covering the auto industry for more than a decade now. I may not be as much of a hardened veteran as some, but I am at the point where not a lot truly surprises me anymore. Today, I can safely say that's changed because I have seen the Tesla Cybertruck up close and in person for myself. Let's just say that the photos and videos you've seen so far don't really do it justice—the Cybertruck looks like nothing else on the road.
