''Everyone loves the Cybertruck,'' one user wrote, reacting to the picture. Another person commented, ''Saw this one outside today and it looked even more alien and futuristic in person. Quite a spectacle which may be the most risky part of driving it; how all the people around are currently reacting to it by taking photos and gazing over. Cool truck.''
''When are you opening Superchargers in Saudi Arabia? I wanna buy my mom a Tesla. She deserves one,'' asked a third.
''Wow, that cybertruck is quite the ride! It's awesome to see people exploring sustainable transportation options. Balancing style and eco-consciousness is key in today's world,'' added a fourth. A fifth user stated, ''He definitely looks like a happy Cybertruck owner. Enjoy the truck, Prince Turki!''

The truck is made of stainless steel used in rockets and the electric vehicle has a unique, geometric design.

The higher-end version of the Cybertruck is priced at $99,990 (Rs 83,29,052) in the U.S. and the company delivers the vehicle only in the country.
