Before Elon Musk would pull back the curtain revealing his new Cybrtrck to the world.
Before the presentation would go awray when the Tesla Armour Glass shattered in front
of the worlds eyes.
Before the Cybertruck debut would dominate the trending page on YouTube with multiple
videos going viral and inspire a whole ton of meme's.
The audiences initial reaction has been chalked up as another prediction made by The Simpsons.
It's also been compared to cars out of Halo, looking like a Pokemon, Laura Croft, Minecraft
& more....
I think this tweet sums it up perfectly.
“This is what happens when the DeLorean from Back To The Future, has a baby with the
Tumbler from Batman Begins.”
There was literally no where you could go on the internet without seeing the Cybertruck,
it's even made it's way into GTA 5.
These designs ain't all that shocking as Elon Muck had said it himself that his Cybertruck
would look like something out of Blade Runner from 1982.
In the 7 years since he first hinted at creating a futuristic pick up truck there has been
plenty of speculation about what it would look like.
The great people of the internet got to work using their own imaginations to make concept
art and one girl even decided to transform her own Model 3 into a pick up truck cause
she was just tired of waiting.
What's going on guys?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden and we are taking a crack at talking about the Crybertruck
prior to fame, here for you on Before They Were Famous.
We actually ran a little poll on the community tab and you guys requested a The Rich Life
on Elon Musk so I'll be getting to work on that after this one.
As always, be sure to let me know who is next in the comments down below.
Also what you think of the Cybertruck....
I actually placed an order for one.
It's $100 bucks now and $70K in 2020 for the Tri Motor AWD which I'll need to pay in 2020.

Aright, let's get into this video.
The origin of the Cybertruck dates back to a tweet made by Elon Musk in June of 2012.
Where he stated:
Would love to make a Tesla Supertruck with crazy torque, dynamic air suspension and corners
like its on rails.
That'd be sweet...
Musk has made it public that he's into video games, as well as vintage space movies with
a particular love for Spaceballs, Back to the Future, and Blade Runner.
With that being said, he continues to assert that the Tesla Truck will be a futuristic,
cyberpunk design and had mentioned Blade Runner repeatedly.
In a strange coincidence, the opening scene for the original Blade Runner from 1982 Showed
off a date and location.
Los Angles, November 2019 – the same month and location of the cybertruck reveal.
Coincedence?
I think not!
Blade Runner consisted of a number of flying cars known as Spinners but there was one that
for the most part stayed on the ground.
I'm talking about The Deckard Sedan.
This whip shares a few features with the Cybertruck.
It's a low, angular, rear-engined, air-cooled car with gullwing doors and very prominent
indicators and taillights.
At the time of his initial tweet he was they had just begun production on the Model S and
Elon was eager to show the superiority of his electric cars.
The next time he spoke about the Cybertuck was at an event in New York city where he
revealed that his Tesla truck would be modeled after the Ford's F-Series because of that
truck's remarkable popularity.
It's important to note that Ford and Tesla are the only two American car companies who
have never filed for bankruptcy...
Right about now, things ain't looking good for Ford if there is another recession.
By 2014, Elon predicted that his Supertruck would take another 4 to 5 years before it
would be in production and the meantime he revealed his Tesla Roadster
and Tesla Semi.
There was also a smaller Semi capable of doing this.
In the mean time the world was left to guess what this Cybertruck might look like.
Concept art began circulating the web ..... some of them were pretty dope.
There was this, this and this.
The next bit of news we heard about the car came in an interview with Vox's Recode Decode
from 2018 where he talked about all the projects he was currently working on.
we’ve got the pickup truck, which — actually, I’m personally most excited about the pickup
truck.
Well I can’t talk about the details, but it’s gonna be like a really futuristic-like
cyberpunk, “Blade Runner” pickup truck.
It’s gonna be awesome, it’s gonna be amazing.
This will be heart-stopping.
It stops my heart.
It’s like, oh, it’s great.
Tired of waiting, well once creator decided to build her own out of an existing Tesla
Model 3.
She's actually a YouTuber, as well as an Engineer.
Her name is Simone Giertz and she decided that she was tired of waiting for Tesla to
release their pickup truck, so she took the project into her own hands and transformed
a Model 3 into what she called her “TRUCKLA.”
Documenting the whole build process, the self-proclaimed “Queen of S**ty Robots” bought a Tesla
Model 3 and completely scrapped the back seats and the trunk, transforming the rear end of
the EV into a truck bed.
For her effort she clocked in 6.2 Million views on the trailer and another 10 Million
on the build.
The first look of the car came in a tweet from March 2019 that just showed off it's
sleek design and some tail lights, that's all we would get until the big reveal which
didn't hold back on it's Bladerunner nostalgia.
The best term to describe the initial reveal was Polarizing.
Some people loved it and the majority of the internet had something clever and witty to
say.
Regardless, those in attendance were pretty wowed and Elon gave a great opening monolgue.
He also noted that the top 3 best selling cars in America are also pick up trucks and
the desire for sustainable energy has never been more important.
With that he debuted the Cybertruck.
Things were going great untill they decided to test out the armour glass.
Despite that minor set back people seemed pretty thrilled and intrigued none the least.
The Cybertruck climbed it's way to the number 1 spot on Twitter and YouTube and plenty of
YouTubers had attended the event and were giving behind the scenes footage.
The What's Inside Dad also showed off the grounds which has plenty of more Blade Runner
cars and a McLorean.
They even had a bar?
Damn, I wonder if that girl from Total Recall was invited.
Ya, know.
The one with 3...
I'm getting off topic.
The car is sleek and clearly one of a kind.
It's also reasonable priced starting out at $39,900.
You can also get the thing fully self driving.
Although the Tesla stock fell following the Cybertrucks display and the whole glass breaking
fiasco the orders keep pouring in.
They got a few things to figure out – like the lack thereof, of side mirrors but I'm
down.
I gave me $100 dollar deposit and hope I can be one of the first dudes in Canada to pull
up in one of these.
I'm a bit of a sci fi geek myself.
You don't go around dropping Total Recall jokes if you ain't a big of a geek.
That woman had a big impact on me during puberty.
