Every new Tesla comes with a lot of hype, but the Cybertruck has long been one of the most anticipated vehicles. The unique design, the potential, the length of time, and the many questions about its construction made it a real issue. Tesla first unveiled this stainless steel-clad electric truck, but now it’s here, and there’s nothing else like it on the way
First things first: this thing looks wild. Razor-sharp corners, horizontal light strips, flat unpainted surfaces make Cybertruck look like something you’d find in a sci-fi blockbuster or on the shelf at Toys “R” Us a concept with such unabashed child-like charm you’ve hardly heard of it story of an automaker dreaming up a dream, and then actually building it. So no matter how you feel about the design or even just the idea of an electronic truck, its very existence deserves some acknowledgment.
The pickup truck that bucks trends
A pickup truck may seem like an odd choice for Tesla’s next model, but it’s one of America’s most popular body types and should present a great opportunity for the American brand. And besides, the Cybertruck isn’t at the forefront of the electric truck segment — it has to compete with the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, GMC Hummer EV, upcoming electric Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 REV — so it better stay outside.
And get up it does. Unpainted steel, the standard look of Cybertrucks leaving the factory screams “Blade Runner” (although the underside of Azim’s shiny black truck extends as a stealth bomb launch) and helps prevent dents and corrosion and future wedge of impressive-numbers, trivial-but- . its luxury features Comes with a custom Tesla slate. Two trims will be available for this first year of production: a 600-hp dual-motor version labeled “AWD,” and an 845-hp three-motor version called “Cyberbeast” — though both are all-wheel drive .
Tesla says the AWD version can hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and max out its range to 340 miles, while the Cyberbeast does the 60 sprint in a mind-bending 2.6 seconds with a slightly reduced maximum battery range. Either way, that’s solid range and relatively insignificant speed for a car of this weight, but that’s the kind of trick Tesla likes to pull off
Another device that makes this truck a headline: rear wheel steering. When turning sharply at slower speeds, the rear wheels swing back from the front set, like some ride mowers, giving the Cyberttruck a better turning radius than the Model S. It has the maximum ground clearance it does 17 inches (that’s a lot) and can accommodate tires up to 35 inches in diameter amazing “resistant” in the 2019 launch program show can withstand “Class 4 hail” or a baseball thrown at 70 mph so you’ll be safe from aggressive minor league pitchers.
The interior is a typical compact Tesla. A funky-shaped steering wheel sits alongside a large dashboard, and acoustic glass in the windows and roof give the cabin a “space-quiet feel,” according to the designer. Additionally, there are seats for five and most of the interior features that are standard in cars in this price range (for AWD versions). About $80,000, for top trim f $100,000)
The Cybertruck does offer competitive towing capacity and payload for a truck, the bed can fit standard 4×8 piece plywood with a tailgate underneath, and there is extra room in the frank, so in theory, could be satisfied with this upgrade over their Tacoma or The old Silverado. But of course, Cybertruck is meant to capture the imagination and turn heads. See what can be done if you break with the tradition and smack down those who say otherwise. Is everything about this truck strictly necessary? Certainly not, but for many it happily absorbs pain and is a guaranteed conversation.
