As you probably already know, Elon Musk is holding an invitation-only event at its Texas “Gigafactory” Austin called the “Cyber Rodeo.” The event signals the official kickoff of the new factory, which includes the official start of Tesla Model Y production at the plant. But this isn’t a “Model Y” rodeo, it’s a CYBER Rodeo– and we’re expecting some Cyber Truck news.
The good news? It looks like we’re going to get it. Tesla-watcher and drone photographer Joe Tegtmeyer recently snapped this picture in the build-up to the event, which clearly shows two Cyber Truck prototypes, and two other as-yet unidentified model cars.
See for yourself …

Are they new Tesla models? Is one the hotly-anticipated “affordable” Tesla that will take the brand deep into the mainstream?

What do you guys think, will we get an updated Cybertruck, a $25,000 $30,000 sporty coupe, AND an all-new crossover-y wagon deal, or am I just dazzled by the “Under the Sea” theme? Scroll on down to the comments and let us know!

I don't like paywalls. You don't like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it! We just don't like paywalls, and so we've decided to ditch ours. Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...
