The term "Apocalypse" for a group of Tesla Cybertrucks was first popularized by Elon Musk, who referred to the Cybertruck as "apocalypse-proof" during its delivery event on November 30, 2023, at Gigafactory Texas. He stated, "The apocalypse can come along at any moment, and here at Tesla we have the best in apocalypse technology," emphasizing the vehicle’s rugged, bulletproof design.
