The interesting thing is that the Cybertruck in question appeared to feature a new wrap that made it look like a Ford F-150. It had all of us confused. We didn’t have a great angle of the truck with the leaked picture, but now Justin Wolfe spotted the Cybertruck being transported…

But at any given time, the majority of the Earth is covered in clouds, as well as smoke and air pollution, which can block those sensors and create major data gaps. Radar has the benefit of…
