The Petersen Automotive Museum, which reopened to the public on June 19, has displayed the Tesla Cybertruck in its lobby for a limited time until June 26.

Guests will have a chance to view the prototype electric-vehicle during its first stationary public display since being revealed at a private event in Los Angeles on Nov. 21, 2019.

With its sharp-edged, flat-paneled exoskeleton made of stainless steel and armored glass, Tesla created the all-electric Cybertruck to offer more utility than most pickup trucks and more performance than many sports cars. In its Tri Motor all-wheel drive configuration, the Cybertruck can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, tow up to 14,000 pounds and travel 500-plus miles on a single charge.

Production for the Cybertruck is expected to begin in late 2021.

The Petersen is proud to continue its partnership with Tesla and is currently showcasing two other Tesla vehicles, the Model S prototype and roadster, in the “Alternating Currents” exhibit on the museum’s second floor.

“Tesla has been a trailblazer in the widespread acceptance of electric vehicles since introducing the Model S prototype,” said Terry L. Karges, Petersen executive director. “The Cybertruck paves the way for the utility vehicle of the future.”

The Petersen Automotive Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Tickets much be purchased ahead of time on the museum website.

Staff members and visitor are required to wear protective face coverings, and single-use face masks will be provided to individuals who do not have one. Social distancing guidelines of at least 6 feet will be enforced with designated entrance and exit signs and designated navigation paths for each exhibit.

The museum will also increase the frequency of routine cleaning and offer hand sanitizing stations one each floor. Interactive exhibits including the Forza racing simulators and the Discovery Center will remain closed.
