2 Unlike Cybertrucks, One by Elon Musk, Driven in Austin and Silicon Valley

Yesterday two Twitter Tesla bloggers the @Ray4Tesla and Tiktoker u/carlosto84 shared these two short videos of what appear to be two different types of Tesla Cybertrucks driving in the streets of Austin, TX, and Silicon Valley in California. The one Cybertruck in Austin looks like is driven by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who even tweeted about it last Saturday.

Austin, of course, makes sense here, because that's where Tesla's Giga Texas factory is located and that's where Tesla will start the production of the much-awaited Cybertruck.

In fact, today, on July 10, Giga Texas drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer just tweeted an hour ago that there are rumors in the Giga Texas area, according to which "employees are working on Cybertruck lines today," but he tweeted that he cannot confirm.

Note that one Cybertruck is fully camouflaged. That's the one seen in Silicon Valley, probably not too far from Tesla's Fremont factory. The other isn't camouflaged and drives in the streets of Austin without a wrap. It's plain stainless steel.

Carlos, who shared the video of the Cybertruck driving in Austin, says it's driven by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. However, it's hard to see, who is behind the wheel in the video. If you are able to determine if the driver is Elon Musk, please let me know in the comments section below. But we do know that two days ago, last Saturday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a photo of an undisguised Cybertruck prototype on his Twitter account, accompanied by the caption, "Just drove Cybertruck around Austin!" Elon Musk did not offer too many details about what it was like to drive the Cybertruck, though he noted in a reply that it "was very fun!"

Regarding the other video with the wrap, I think soon the Cybertruck may become one of the most characteristic things you see in the streets of Silicon Valley. Do you think so? We are now really starting to see how these will look on the road with other vehicles.

On another note, yet another Cybertruck is currently being cold-weather tested in New Zealand ahead of production. And ss we eagerly await more updates from Tesla, one thing is for certain - the Cybertruck has proven itself on the ice, effortlessly navigating the treacherous terrain.
