Musk says he’ll be driving the Plaid version of the Cybertruck.

Elon Musk has confirmed that there will be a plaid of the Tesla Cybertruck, but we wonder if it will be an extreme off-road-truck or something that crushes every other car at the drag strip.

Tesla has already confirmed that both the Model S and Model X will get high-performance Plaid variants in the future, with the first expected to be the Plaid Model S later this year, but now we’ve learned of another Plaid Tesla in the works.

According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, there will be a Plaid Cybertruck variant and this will be the version of the truck that Musk himself will drive:

Admittedly, that single tweet doesn’t make much sense without some context, so here’s the previous tweet:

I confess: the Cybertruck fills my dreams and prayers.

My lady dislikes it. Should I purchase this artwork from Legends Studio as a shameless attempt to change her mind?

Also, please give me other tips on how to get her to accept this beautiful beast. I need thy assistance. 🙇‍♂️

So a Plaid Cybertruck is coming. That’s now known. What we don’t know is what the focus of the truck will be. Will tesla take the extreme off-road approach and go after trucks like the Ford F-150 Raptor? This route would require a beefier suspension, more ground clearance, a winch and some off-road rubber. Or is a on-street performance truck more likely? Something like a lowered, high power truck fitted with stick tires and wide wheels that could dominate at the drag strip.

Our money would be on the off-roader, but that doesn’t fit with the performance profile of the other planned Plaid Tesla vehicles, so perhaps we’re wrong.
