Despite previous reports of Elon Musk considering shrinking the size of the Tesla Cybertruck by 3%, it doesn't seem like that's happening anymore.

Instead, it's likely that the Cybertruck will keep its original dimensions and Tesla will create a smaller truck to slot beneath it.

Roadshow spotted Musk's tweet from Saturday where he said that he'd reviewed the Cybertruck's design with Franz von Holzhausen, who heads up design at Tesla.

He decided that even a 3% shrinkage would make the truck "too small," so the truck will stay "pretty much" the same size of the concept he first showed off last year.

But for those who are worried the Cybertruck might be a bit too big to handle when it's finally produced, there may be something smaller offered alongside it eventually

Musk said there will probably be a "smaller, tight world truck at some point."

He didn't offer any further details. 

Musk has been known to use his personal Twitter account to announce company plans and updates. In the past, he's tweeted about how the upcoming Tesla Roadster "maybe won't need a key at all" and that perhaps it would be able to "fly short hops."
