Malaysians (well those in the Klang Valley anyway) can check out the Cybertruck at 1Utama mall until June 17 before it is sent back home to the United States. It has been on a road show in Malaysia since April to drum up sales interest in Tesla's Model 3 and Y. The Cybertruck is only an exhibit and is not for sale.
