The Tesla Cybertruck has been making headlines since it was unveiled in 2019. With its futuristic design and impressive features, it has garnered a lot of attention from car enthusiasts, technology enthusiasts, and even environmentalists. The Cybertruck is Tesla's first foray into the electric pickup truck market, and its release has been highly anticipated for years. But despite the hype surrounding the vehicle, the release date has been shrouded in mystery: Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has teased this release for years, but no concrete release date has been announced or, rather, several dates were announced and then postponed. This has only added to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the vehicle, as fans eagerly await the day when they can finally get behind the wheel of the electric pickup truck.
The Cybertruck's design has also sparked a lot of discussion and debate. Its angular, stainless-steel exterior is unlike anything else on the market and has drawn comparisons to a futuristic tank or a spaceship on wheels. While some have criticized the design as being too extreme, others have praised it for its boldness and innovation. In any case, what is certain is that it is worth knowing more about this vehicle that is destined to cause controversy and to renew what can usually be seen on the streets in terms of the automotive industry.
10 The Cybertruck Comes With A Truly Competitive Price
The Tesla Cybertruck price is a topic that has been a matter of discussion among Tesla fans and also among specialists. What is currently known is that the Cybertruck is set to be released in three different versions, each with varying price points. The single-motor version is priced at $39,900, the dual-motor version at $49,900, and the tri-motor version at $69,900. Despite being higher than some other Tesla models, these prices are still competitive when compared to other electric trucks in the market. In fact, these prices are quite reasonable compared to those of the Ford F-150 Lightning or the Rivian R1T. Some expected it to have a higher price tag, but Tesla has opted to make it a relatively inexpensive vehicle (considering its performance).
9 The Vehicle That's Always About To Arrive
As mentioned above, the Tesla Cybertruck release date has been the subject of much speculation. Over the years, there have been several possible release dates, but the last information provided by the company suggests that initial production of the Cybertruck will begin in the summer or at the end of 2023, with mass production slated for 2024. While some may be disappointed by the continued wait for the highly anticipated vehicle, others are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to own one of the most unique and futuristic-looking vehicles on earth. Among the reasons for these delays is the problem of the design and manufacture of the external structure which, as will be seen later, turns the Cybertruck into a kind of war tank in terms of strength and reliability.
8 An Interior That Shows The Future Is Minimalistic
As far as it is known, the Tesla Cybertruck interior will have a minimalistic design, consistent with the vehicle's futuristic and innovative exterior. According to official images, the interior will feature a large screen in the middle of the dashboard, in which there will not be much more to see. The Cybertruck is expected to comfortably accommodate six passengers, with ample space within the cabin, thanks to its two rows of three seats each. It's interesting to note that the interior design of the Cybertruck will be largely determined by the well-known and unique exterior shape, which includes an angular design with sharp edges. Black and gray are likely to predominate in the cabin, which will feature angular-looking seats like the vehicle, yet comfortable and with adaptability functions.
7 A Range That Goes From Impressive To Exceptional
One of the most impressive features of the Cybertruck Tesla is its range. Tesla claims that the single-motor version of the Cybertruck can achieve a range of 250-plus miles, or approximately 402 kilometers, on a single charge. The dual-motor can achieve 300-plus miles, or approximately 482 kilometers, on a single charge. However, the top-tier tri-motor setup is where Cybertruck's range truly stands out: according to Tesla, this setup can run for more than 500 Miles or approximately 805 kilometers. The cars Tesla produces tend to achieve very high ranges because they are intended to spearhead the transition to a world where all cars are electric. However, 500 Miles for a vehicle like this is a very high number and will surely force the other brands to improve their standards if they are not close to that level.
6 Can the Tesla Cybertruck Really Double Up As A Boat?
Elon Musk has always been known for pushing the limits of what is possible with his creations, and the Tesla Cybertruck is no exception. In a tweet from September 2022, Musk hinted that the Cybertruck might even be capable of floating for a short time, allowing it to cross a river or other bodies of water. While it remains to be seen whether this is actually possible, it is clear that the Cybertruck will be a very waterproof vehicle, with the ability to overcome aquatic obstacles above the average. The vehicle's angular design, along with its stainless steel body, suggests that it could be quite resistant to water damage. In any case, what Musk is trying to point out is how versatile this vehicle is going to be.
5 A Tough-As-Steel Tesla Truck
One aspect of the Cybertruck that attracts a lot of attention is its exoskeleton, which is made from cold-rolled stainless steel. This technology is not typically used in the automotive industry, let alone for the body of a car. The result is a vehicle that is not only visually striking but also incredibly strong and durable. Stainless steel also has the added benefit of being more resistant to corrosion and dents than traditional car materials like aluminum or fiberglass. The exoskeleton's unique design also allows for more interior space, as there are no beams or pillars needed to support the body. At the same time, there is no denying that it is a very recognizable style signature: you may like it more or less, but you won't see anything else like it, at least for some time.
4 It Boasts An Impressive Towing Capacity
With so many design and high-tech details, you might think that Tesla would forget to take towing capacity into account, but that's not the case: in addition to its unique shape and impressive range, the Tesla Cybertruck also boasts an impressive towing capacity. The exact towing capacity varies depending on the version of the Cybertruck, with the single-motor version capable of towing up to 7,500 pounds. While this number may not be particularly impressive compared to other pickup trucks on the market, the dual-motor and tri-motor versions have significantly higher numbers in this regard. The dual-motor Cybertruck can tow up to 10,000 pounds, while the top-tier tri-motor version can tow an impressive 14,000 pounds. This puts the Cybertruck's towing capacity on par with some of the most powerful pickup trucks available today.
3 An Exterior Design We Love To Hate
Many people have criticized the design for its sharp angles, unusual aerodynamics, and overall unconventional look. Some have even gone so far as to describe it as ugly or bizarre, while others have praised the Cybertruck's design for its futuristic and innovative look. Despite the initial backlash, it's important to remember that Tesla has always been a company that pushes boundaries and challenges conventional thinking and Cybertruck's design is no exception to this: it represents Tesla's drive for innovation and willingness to take risks. Over time, as people have become more accustomed to the design and the images went viral, it has become less controversial and more widely accepted. It is clear that having a Cybertruck will be a source of comments, both positive and negative, but it will not go unnoticed anywhere.
2 Goodbye To Door Handles
The Tesla Cybertruck is expected to have some unique features when it comes to its doors. Specifically, it has been reported that the Cybertruck will not have traditional handles on its doors: instead, the doors will open automatically when the vehicle detects that the key is nearby (probably through some kind of configuration that can be managed by Tesla’s app). This is certainly an interesting and innovative design choice, but it also raises some questions and concerns. For example, what happens if the system fails or malfunctions for any reason? Will the doors be able to open at all in that case, or will the vehicle be essentially locked? These are important questions that Tesla will need to address as it continues to develop and refine the Cybertruck's design and features.
1 The Cybetruck's Acceleration Is Mighty Impressive
As with other aspects, the acceleration depends on the number of motors and can vary greatly depending on the model. The single-motor version of the Cybertruck, for example, is expected to go from zero to 60 MPH in 6.5 seconds and top out at 110 MPH. Meanwhile, the dual-motor Cybertruck will be faster, reaching 60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds and having a top speed of 120 MPH. As expected, the real surprise arrives with the three-motor model, which can go from zero to 60 MPH in just 2.9 seconds, a difficult number to achieve. Keep in mind that one of the fastest cars in the world, the Tesla Model S Plaid, reaches that speed in 2.1 seconds, and in this case, we're talking about a pickup truck!
