"Let's make the strength on the outside, make it an exoskeleton, and hand everything else from the inside of it." - Elon Musk
According to lore the idea for the Cybertruck began in 2017.
The real idea of the Cybertruck geminated around the time that Musk became enthralled by the possibility of making the SpaceX ships out of stainless steel. That material could also work for the planned Cybertruck. Charles Kuehmann developed a stainless steel alloy that was "cold rolled" instead of using heat treatments which was later patented. It was strong enough to use for both rockets and Cybertrucks.
In July 2019, designer Franz von Holzhausen and Dave Morris built a full-size mock-up and the Cybertruck was born. It was their design not Musk's but he loved it. And I'm on the wait list to get one.
