The second part of this secret document highlights a 'high passenger-density urban transport', electric bus-like vehicle. Musk suggests it could be used in the tunnels created by his Boring Company, specifically at the Las Vegas Convention Center. According to images released by Tesla, the 'bus-like' vehicle would run people around a city at maximum speeds of 124 miles per hour. The design would be mostly glass and inside seating for passengers. The Master Plan was first made public in 2016, which is an outline the company hopes to complete over the next decade. The document's vision includes Tesla's electric compact vehicles, the Cybertruck and Cyberquad, according to Electrek. Musk has noted that the Cybertruck would be Tesla's last new product for a while, but following the Master Plan, the firm could be set to launch a new transportation vehicle. 'In addition to consumer vehicles, there are two other types of electric vehicle needed: heavy-duty trucks and high passenger-density urban transport,' reads the Master Plan. 'Both are in the early stages of development at Tesla and should be ready for unveiling next year.' 'We believe the Tesla Semi will deliver a substantial reduction in the cost of cargo transport, while increasing safety and making it really fun to operate.' To date, Tesla has released the Roadster, Model S, Model 3, and Model Y as well as a solar panel interest, Tesla Energy. The California company has recently introduced the Cybertruck and an electric semi known as the Tesla Semi. The 'Master Plan' also included the introduction of autonomous cars in a shared fleet, which Musk said would happen by the end of 2020, according to Electrek. The latest vehicle that Tesla released came along with the firm's Cybertruck - a 'Cyberquad' that 'will be available for purchase' soon. CEO Elon Musk revealed in a tweet earlier this month that the two-seater ATV is set to be released at the same time as the Cybertruck, as they were originally designed as a pair. The vehicle was used to demonstrate the loading capacity of the Cybertruck at its reveal in November, however, the two were designed as a pair. The all-electric ATV charges when plugged into the outlets on the Tesla Cybertruck, according to Electrek. Although the exact launch date of the Cybertruck has not yet been establish, it is expected to be available at some point in 2021 or early 2022. 'We'll aim to have it come out same time as truck,' Musk shared in a tweet on December 7. 'Two seater electric ATV designed to work with Cybertruck would be fun.' 'Electric dirt bikes would be cool too.' 'We won't do road bikes, as too dangerous.' 'I was hit by a truck & almost died on one when I was 17.' Musk has previously noted that electric vehicles are key to 'solving sustainable energy', with the Cybertruck and ATV part of his attempts to fulfill this.

The billionaire floundered on stage when the vehicle's armored glass windows cracked in a demonstration intended to prove their indestructible design. Even though the reveal seemed like a nightmare for Musk, it has not deterred the public from purchasing the futuristic truck.

The industrial-looking Cybertruck is covered in the same steel alloy Musk plans to use for his SpaceX Starship rocket and will be able to go from 0 to 62 miles per hour in about three seconds, the Tesla chief executive claimed in his presentation. Musk also said the entry-level model will have a starting price of $39,900 and a 400- to 250-mile range, while a deluxe option will be able to travel twice the distance and will sell for $69,900. A few days after Musk stood on the stage in California, baffled at the broken glass, he revealed just what went wrong. Musk explained in a tweet that the base of the glass window had already been weakened during a previous demo. Designer Franz von Holzhausen had hit the car's door with a sledgehammer to prove its toughness and, while it appeared to go unscathed, this 'cracked the base of [the] glass', according to Musk.

The billionaire floundered on stage when the vehicle's armored glass windows cracked in a demonstration intended to prove their indestructible design It is unclear, however, if this explanation accounts for the breaking of the rear passenger window, which was not similarly hammered. It is also conceivable that it was the combination of the three different onslaughts — the ball, the sledgehammer and then the ball again — that pushed the glass to its literal breaking point. Musk also addressed why the Cybertruck's outer shell is so angular — a design feature that has drawn much amusement online. 'Reason Cybertruck is so planar is that you can't stamp ultra-hard 30X steel, because it breaks the stamping press,' he wrote on Twitter. 'Even bending it requires a deep score on inside of bend, which is how the prototype was made.' WHY DID THE CYBERTRUCK WINDOWS BREAK? Tesla CEO Elon Musk was left stunned when he unveiled the firm's Cybertruck last week after the armored glass windows broke in a demonstration. Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen hurled a softball-sized metal ball at the driver's side window to demonstrate the strength of the glass, which Musk called 'Transparent Metal Glass.' It shattered. 'Oh my ... God,' Musk said, uttering an expletive. 'Maybe that was a little too hard.' They tried it a second time on the left passenger window, which spider-cracked again. Musk recovered with a one-liner: 'At least it didn't go through. That´s a plus side.' Today, the CEO revealed just what went wrong on the stage. Musk explained in a tweet that the base of the glass window had already been weakened during a previous demo. Designer Franz von Holzhausen had hit the car's door with a sledgehammer to prove its toughness and, while it appeared to go unscathed, this 'cracked the base of [the] glass', according to Musk.
