"Prototypes are easy, production is hard," Musk said.
馬斯克說：“原型很容易，生產很難。”
Musk and Munro shared a technical discussion on the items added to the Cybertruck with Munro praising what Musk accomplished. In acknowledgment of the praise, Musk questioned if many of the items were breakthroughs for the Cybertuck.
馬斯克和芒羅就Cybertruck中添加的物品進行了技術討論，芒羅對馬斯克取得的成就表示讚賞。在對這一讚譽表示認可時，馬斯克質疑其中許多項目是否是Cybertuck的突破。
"What we're doing is we're making the obvious move, they seem very obvious to me."
“我們正在做的是採取顯而易見的舉動，這對我來說似乎很明顯。”
Munro praised the steer-by-wire, roomier backseat in the Cybertruck and the windshield wiper, which Musk said is like a katana sword.
芒羅稱讚了Cybertruck的線控轉向、更寬敞的後座和擋風玻璃雨刷，馬斯克說擋風玻璃雨刮器就像武士刀一樣。

馬斯克補充說：“我特別想做一些看起來像未來的東西。”“銀翼殺手會開什麼車？”
First unveiled in 2019, Tesla originally said the Cybertruck would hit production in 2021, but it faced several setbacks. Musk clarified reasons why the Cybertruck didn't hit the market until 2023.
