The long-awaited electric pickup raised eyebrows with its brutalist, sharp-angled design when it was first shown off during an event last November. Since then, Musk has hinted at minor changes to the overall design that may make it into the production model, the first of which will roll out starting in "late 2021." It's still unclear what these changes will look like exactly, but we can make some educated guesses. ## Small Improvements For one, it won't look awfully different. "So man, we always want to make the car that we deliver be better than the car we unveil," Musk said [during an earnings call]() last month. "And that’s the goal with the Cybertruck. So there’s like a lot of small improvements compared to what was unveiled. I think it’s going to be better than what we showed." In December 2019, Musk tweeted that "we can \[probably\] reduce width by an inch & maybe reduce length by 6+ inches without losing on utility or \[aesthetics\]," referring to the truck's monstrous size. The initial design is so big, it'd be a [struggle to fit it into a standard garage](). ## Breadcrumbs Musk has also hinted, [*Teslarati* reports](), that the redesigned truck will be tweaked to carry longer items by opening up a passthrough in the rear window, allowing objects to make use of most of the length of the vehicle*.* Musk has also mentioned that the final truck will have an improved air suspension, increasing travel for "better off-roading," Musk [tweeted back in April](). **READ MORE:** [Tesla to unveil updated Cybertruck electric pickup design in ‘a month or so’]() \[*Electrek*\] **More on the Cybertruck:** *[Photo Shows Cybertruck on Tesla Assembly Line]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
