The most anticipated vehicle of the year is also the most controversial: Love it or hate it, the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck is a thorough rethinking of trucks.

The 2024 Tesla Cybertruck's stainless-steel body panels are thick enough to stop subsonic bullets.

The Cybertruck looks huge but is roughly the size of a Ford F-150 Lightning.

With 834 horsepower, the Cybertruck Beast hits 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

The Cybertruck's looks are wild enough to prompt onlookers to ask if it's real or a movie prop.

Rear-axle steering makes the Cybertruck handy in traffic.

With its off-road modes not yet optimized, we stayed on the pavement.

Leaning a bike against the Cybertruck is not going to hurt it. The doors have no internal side-impact beams because they don't need them.

The Cybertruck's steering wheel is more like a rectangle, a yoke with a bar across the top.

The distinctive Cybertruck logo.

The interior is spare, in Tesla fashion.

Most functions are controlled through the touchscreen, but a few important controls (wiper, turn signals) are on hard buttons on the yoke.

Matt Garman taking over as CEO with AWS at crossroads
It’s tough to say that a $100 billion business finds itself at a critical juncture, but that's the case with Amazon Web Services, the cloud arm of Amazon, and the clear market leader in the cloud infrastructure market. On Tuesday, the company announced that CEO Adam Selipsky was stepping down to spend more time with his family and recharge a bit, according to his statement. During Selipsky’s tenure, growth for the cloud division has slowed pretty dramatically falling from 33% in Q2 2022 to 12% in Q2 and Q3 2023 before ticking up to 13% and 17% in its two most recent reports -- although to be fair, growth has slowed across the industry, as the space has settled into a more mature state.
