About this appearance

Musk appeared with Jay Leno just before the Cybertruck's delivery event to showcase the production vehicle. Leno — one of the world's most credible automotive voices — gave the Cybertruck a genuinely positive assessment. The two tested towing capacity, acceleration, and the exoskeleton durability. Musk explained the engineering reasons for choosing stainless steel (hardness, thermal properties, no paint needed) in a format accessible to mainstream car enthusiasts.
