The Tesla Cyber Rodeo, an event commemorating the launch of the company’s Giga Texas facility outside Austin, will welcome 15,000 ticket holders (and presumably more) on Wednesday. The Tesla Cyber Rodeo, if it’s anything like the company’s prior events, will feature thumping music, fanciful displays, and a speech from CEO Elon Musk. Fortunately, fans, critics, reporters, and other onlookers who were not given a ticket may still see part of the excitement and hear Musk’s remarks. Even if they do turn up, Musk promised that the “doors would not be overly rigorous” when they open at 4 p.m. CT.
According to a tweet from Tesla’s CEO, the Cyber Rodeo will begin broadcasting on its YouTube account at 7 p.m. PDT, with Musk taking the stage at 9 p.m. PDT. We’ve also included a link below where you may see the video. Those unfamiliar with Tesla and Musk, on the other hand, should be aware that the timeframe might change at any time. (Tesla live events are notorious for starting late.)
What will TechCrunch be on the lookout for? Cameo appearances and shoutouts are always entertaining. But we’re more interested in hearing about the Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla Semi, and Tesla Roadster during an event Musk described as “essentially the largest party on Earth.” There’s also the possibility of the “one last thing” moment, which has become a staple of Tesla events. For example, during the Tesla Semi event in 2017, the truck’s back door opened and designer Franz von Holzhausen drove out in a Roadster prototype. An electric ATV was on display at the 2019 Cybertruck event.
What’s our guess? We can expect a new version of the Cybertruck prototype, or even a completely new type of electric pickup truck. How about you, what’s yours? Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, surprised everyone by revealing a new electric Roadster at the end of the company’s planned unveiling of its new Tesla Semi semi-truck.
It was such a shock that the great majority of Tesla’s 30,000 employees were unaware that a new Roadster was in the works. A tiny team of Tesla designers and engineers, overseen by chief designer Franz von Holzhausen, worked on the new Roadster from the business’s design studio in Hawthorne, Calif., which is also where Musk’s other company, SpaceX, is located.
