After four years since its debut, Tesla has delivered the Cybertruck to its first customers, marking a significant milestone. The electric truck was handed over to around a dozen people during an event at Tesla’s headquarters in Austin, Texas. The company also provided updated details about the pricing, range, and features of the Cybertruck.

The rear-wheel-drive version, scheduled for 2025, will start at $60,990, with a range of 250 miles on a full charge. The dual-motor and tri-motor versions, expected in 2024, are dubbed “Cyberbeast.” The AWD Cybertruck will start at $79,990, with a range of 340 miles, 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of 112 mph.

The tri-motor variant will be priced at $99,990, offering 845 horsepower, 10,296 lb-ft of torque, and around 320 miles of range.

The angular, stainless steel design of the Cybertruck has captivated Tesla fans, but the production journey faced delays and challenges, particularly due to the use of ultra-hard stainless steel for the exterior, making it bulletproof as per Elon Musk’s insistence.

The design, characterized by sharp angles, signals Tesla’s departure from the traditional truck market.

Elon Musk cautioned investors, indicating that the Cybertruck might not generate “positive cash flow” for Tesla for at least a year to 18 months. Despite expressing strong demand, with over 1 million reservations, Musk acknowledged the challenges, stating: “We dug our own grave with the Cybertruck.”

The polarizing design and the cooling market for electric vehicles pose challenges, and attention will now shift to Tesla’s production capabilities and how the Cybertruck competes with other electric trucks in the market.

While the Cybertruck could be a hit, its sales volume may not match traditional truck models from competitors. The unique design and production complexities make Tesla’s entry into the highly competitive truck market unconventional.

Apple pushed updates to iOS, iPadOS and macOS software today to patch two zero-day security vulnerabilities. The company suggested the bugs had been actively deployed in the wild. “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.7.1,” the company wrote about both flaws in its security reports. Software updates plugging the holes are now available for the iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Researcher Clément Lecigne of Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) is credited with discovering and reporting both exploits. As Bleeping Computer notes, the team at Google TAG often finds and exposes zero-day bugs against high-risk individuals, like politicians, journalists and dissidents. Apple didn’t reveal specifics about the nature of any attacks using the flaws.

The two security flaws affected WebKit, Apple’s open-source browser framework powering Safari. In Apple’s description of the first bug, it said, “Processing web content may disclose sensitive information.” In the second, it wrote, “Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution.”

The security patches cover the “iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation and later, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 6th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.”

The odds your devices were affected by either of these are extremely minimal, so there’s no need to panic — but, to be safe, it would be wise to update your Apple gear now. You can update your iPhone or iPad immediately by heading to Settings > General > Software Update and tapping the prompt to initiate it. On Mac, go to System Settings > General > Software Update and do the same. Apple’s fixes arrived today in iOS 17.1.2, iPadOS 17.1.2 and macOS Sonoma 14.1.2.
