Tesla chief executive Elon Musk on ItalyJan. 14 signaled that the company is likely to showcase its eye catching Cybertruck pickup in China, a move that could create attention and buzz for the US electric vehicle giant in the world’s largest car market. Replying to a post by a user with the handle @ray4tesla, on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk mentioned the likelihood of shipping some Cybertruck prototypes to China for display, although he admitted it would be “very difficult” for the vehicle to be legally permissible on Chinese roads in the near future. The US carmaker finally initiated the delivery of its Cybertrucks, priced from $60,990 and with a driving range of 250 miles (around 402 kilometers), to customers in November from its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, after a two-year production delay. The Cybertruck is currently not available for retail sale in Europe as authorities have limited external protrusions on vehicles aimed at protecting pedestrians. [Elon Musk X repost]
