However, since then, a few mainstream companies have launched similar products, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, and the Rivian R1T, and chances are that by the time it starts making its way to dealers, it will have to deal with other models too. And maybe, just maybe, a 6x6 variant would be just what the doctor ordered in order to rejuvenate it.

We can see skid plates at the front and rear too, a spare wheel mounted in the open bed, a tweaked tailgate design, and a few other things that contribute to the virtual makeover.Now, while you may want Tesla to make a 6x6 version of the Cybertruck, first of all they have to start assembling the four-wheel model. Recent data indicates that the production kickoff at Giga Texas, with the battery pack coming from the Fremont factory in California, was pushed back again, this time to the end of 2023, subsequent to delaying it a few more times, from the initial date in 2021, to late 2022, and early 2023.When they unveiled it back in 2019, it didn’t have any direct rivals in the segment.
