While recently riding shotgun with Jay Leno in the Tesla Cybertruck, Elon Musk said the production model would be roughly 5 per cent smaller in all dimensions. The outspoken chief executive has since changed his mind.

Shortly after CNBC previewed the upcoming segment featuring the Cybertruck from Jay Leno’s Garage, Elon Musk revealed on Twitter that after consultation with the automaker’s chief designer Franz von Holzhausen, he has decided the production model will be “pretty much” the same size as the show car.

“Reviewed design with Franz last night. Even 3% smaller is too small. Will be pretty much this size. We’ll probably do a smaller, tight world truck at some point,” Musk wrote on Twitter.

This is somewhat of a surprise. During the segment with Leno, Musk said it was important Tesla reduced the size of the Cybertruck so it could fit in a normal garage. If its proportions go unchanged for production, it will simply be too big for the garages of most customers. It’s also rather surprising that it has taken Tesla more than six months since unveiling the show car to settle on how big it should be, indicating that design work is ongoing.

Fortunately, Tesla has a lot of time up its sleeve to tweak the design of the Tesla Cybertruck before it reaches the hands of customers. In fact, the range-topping Tri-Motor won’t hit the production line until late 2021 while the dual-motor and single-motor variants are due to hit the market in 2022.

As for the “smaller” truck also mentioned by Musk, it remains a mystery but we wouldn’t get our hopes up of seeing it on the roads for many, many years.
