Get your credit card ready because Tesla has made Cybertruck available for order on their website in Canada. For just $150 CAD, you can join the waitlist for this one-of-a-kind truck that Elon Musk plans to have as his daily ride. Why wouldn't he? It boasts better utility than a regular truck and more performance than a sports car.
Reservations for the futuristic Cybertruck were first opened in late 2019, with the reservation list believed to be over 2 million when it disappeared from the website. However, Tesla has now added the Cybertruck to its top menu bar in Canada, alongside the Model S, 3, X, and Y, allowing customers to check out images of the stainless-steel beast and learn more about it.
The beta version of the Cybertruck was on display at Investor Day, giving us a closer look at its new steering wheel, front bumper camera, rear display and more. The website lists some of the features of the Cybertruck, including its exoskeleton design made from ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel, which provides ultimate durability and passenger protection. The Tesla armor glass and polymer-layered composite ensure the vehicle can absorb and redirect impact force, making it more damage-tolerant than traditional vehicles.
The Cybertruck is not just a rugged vehicle; it's also versatile, with up to 3,500 pounds of payload capacity, adjustable air suspension, onboard power and compressed air. It has a towing capability of over 14,000 pounds. In addition to its impressive cargo capacity, it has plenty of storage space with 100 cubic feet of exterior lockable storage. The under-bed, frunk, and sail pillars provide additional storage space.
Of course, being a Tesla, the Cybertruck's performance features acceleration from 0-60 mph in as little as 2.9 seconds and has a range of up to 500 miles.
Tesla’s recent focus on expanding and vertically integrating its battery production is beginning to take global steps, starting with a battery recycling and service center in South Australia. In Marion, a suburb of Adelaide, the council recently voted in favor of a proposal that would see contaminated public land developed and leased to Tesla.
The move promises local jobs and environmental remediation but has garnered a lot of public debate focused on Elon’s moves outside his role as CEO.
The proposal involves a site that’s currently unusable for recreation due to chemical contamination. A local developer plans to acquire and remediate the land, constructing a new facility specifically for Tesla. This site would reportedly serve two purposes: recycling old lithium-ion batteries and serving as a Tesla Service Center.
Tesla’s Commitment to Recycling
Tesla recently announced its intention to ramp up its battery recycling and repurposing efforts. During the Q1 2025 Earnings Call, Tesla’s executives highlighted substantial progress. Tesla had recycled enough materials in Q1 2025 to build approximately 21,000 Model Y RWD vehicles, representing a 136% year-over-year increase from Q1 2024.
Dedicated regional hubs like this one would be a logical next step in expanding the recycling loop and furthering Tesla’s vertical integration while also reducing its reliance on new materials. In addition, local sources also mentioned that Tesla could be repurposing older lithium-ion batteries for other purposes, including their inclusion in stationary battery storage systems like Powerwall or Megapack.
Of course, the facility also has major benefits for the local community, including creating around 100 local jobs, as well as injecting approximately $56 million into the local economy. Further, developing the contaminated land as a renewable facility is one of the safest ways to use the land that’s been sealed off from the public for nearly a decade.
Elon’s Image
The proposal isn’t without its critics. Local opposition was voiced during community consultations, with most of the negative sentiment directed towards Elon rather than the facility itself. Despite these complaints, the local council elected to proceed, arguing that tangible economic and environmental benefits far outweigh any perceived geopolitical or symbolic harm that shutting down the project could cause.
With the council’s endorsement on record, the proposal now moves to the South Australian state government for approvals regarding the change in land classification.
Tesla’s software updates often hide some undocumented features alongside the official release notes, and software update 2025.20 is no exception. With this update, Tesla has introduced a welcome quality-of-life improvement for the in-vehicle Dashcam Viewer. Users now have the ability to select and delete multiple clips at once (thanks, Max!). However, this addition is limited to the updated Dashcam Viewer for Ryzen-based vehicles.
While it may seem a small change, if you wanted to clear out your Dashcam clips, you’d have to either delete them one by one in the vehicle or remove your Dashcam USB drive and take it to a computer to erase all the clips at once. For those who frequently see Sentry Mode notifications or often record clips with their Dashcam, this is a useful addition.
This feature is currently limited to vehicles that have received the updated Dashcam viewer - which means vehicles equipped with AMD Ryzen processors (how to tell if you have Intel or AMD). This includes all Model 3 and Model Y vehicles with AMD Ryzen, as well as the 2021+ Model S and Model X vehicles.
Unfortunately, since the Cybertruck does not yet have access to the updated Dashcam viewer or support for the additional two cameras in Sentry Mode, it has not received this feature yet either.
This undocumented feature is a very welcomed addition for many users who carefully manage their Dashcam and Sentry Mode videos.
