And, while the nearly 3-hour Halloween-themed sitdown involved many topics such as the Zuckerberg fight, buying X (formerly Twitter), and the dangers of A.I. (not to mention the perplexing combination of pineapple-sardine pizza), Elon also teased spoilers regarding the production of the Tesla Cybertruck.

Near the beginning of the episode, Elon breaks down some of the newest specs on what Joe deems to be "the coolest f*cking looking production car ever made."

For starters, the new Cybertruck will feature a bulletproof exoskeleton and optional bulletproof windows. Elon also teased at a future demonstration,

"What we're going to do is go full Al Capone... Like if all Al Capone showed up and emptied an entire magazine of a Tommy gun into the side of the car, you'd be ok."

Hopefully, the demonstration will hold up better than last time when Elon threw a steel ball at the Cybertruck's window, instantly shattering it during a live demonstration, in 2019 [see video below]:

To test the validity of Elon's claims, the pair even took a break from their podcast to watch Joe, an avid bow hunter, shoot an arrow at Elon's personal Cybertruck, in which it left "just a little scratch" [see video below].

When Joe asked Elon when customers who had pre-ordered Cybertrucks could expect delivery, Elon responded with a surprising answer.

"We plan to do our first deliveries next month."

Elon also cited the main struggle of the Cybertruck, as well as Tesla/SpaceX technology in general, is manufacturing.

"The hard part, by far, is manufacturing. Not designing the car. There's just not really a movie about that but there should be. The movies will always sort of be about this inventor who invented the car and then the job is done... this is not true. This is the easy part. The hard part is manufacturing, by far."

If you ordered a Cybertruck, as early as 2019, this may come as good news. Tesla famously allowed deposits of just $100 for this futuristic vehicle, so Elon and his team of elves may have their work cut out for them this holiday season.
