Newfoundland and Labrador will soon have its first Tesla Cybertruck.
The new electric truck was officially unveiled earlier this month, soliciting a public response that ranged from love to hate.
Patrick Dunn of St. John’s says he’s been waiting for the Tesla truck for some time. He currently owns a Ford F-150 that’s getting long in the tooth and wanted to replace it with something more environmentally-friendly and cheaper on gas.
He already owns an electric car which runs on about $1.50 in electricity a day. His first response to the design of the Tesla truck was shock, but he now thinks it’s “pretty cool.”
He references the Simpson’s episode where Homer sank his brother’s company with his car design, but the new Tesla is breaking from the traditional pickup mold that’s remained virtually unchanged for decades. He says Homer’s design now looks like all the old trucks.
The Cybertruck has been tentatively slated for an end-of-2021 release.
