If you’re a car enthusiast, you must be well aware that Tesla’s latest release Cybertruck has taken the automotive world by storm. What makes Cybertruck worthy of all the praise from the automobile community apart from its glaringly modern sleek design?
The hype
Before you could go judging on the design aesthetics and functionality of a pickup in the electric range, know this: Elon Musk has said that there were already about 200,000 orders for the Cybertruck. People who wanted to buy it can preorder with just $100. The three-motor all-wheel drive is available at a whopping $69,000 while the standard model starts at around $39,000. You game?
Seating capacity
If you thought that the Cybertruck was just a cool electric pick up truck, you’re wrong. This ‘passenger pick up’ can amazingly seat six people in it. So if someone’s planning on calling the gang while they’re at their ‘pickup trucky’ jobs, well, now you can.
It’s not scared of bullets
Thanks for guessing. Yes, it’s bulletproof. If you had seen the launch you could have noticed how Musk was boasting about its ability to withstand a 9mm ammunition from handguns or machine guns. Choose your pick. It is because Cybertruck is equipped with a 3mm thick, ‘ultra-hard, cold-rolled stainless-steel alloy’. Or simply put, these materials were originally developed for SpaceX’s Starship rocket. Ooh…
Let’s talk speed
Yea, we’re talking speed. And yes, it’s a pickup truck, we know. But we have enough reason to. Why? The tri-motor variant of the Cybertruck will be able to pull off an amazing 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. If that’s not impressive for a heavy truck, we don’t know what is.
Functional prowess
After all, the Cybertruck was advertised to be a ‘never before seen pickup truck’. Sure we’ve never seen something of this kind before. But how does it fare in terms of its functionality? Reportedly, the Cybertruck would be capable of towing more than 14,000 pounds and carry a payload of up to 3,500 pounds like it was a walk in the park. Did we mention that its rear comes lockable? And wait, it has a total of 100 cubic feet of enclosed outer storage that makes it super cool in terms of functionality.
Dimensions
Length: 231.7 in Width: 79.8 in Height: 75. 0 in Seats: 6 Bed: 6.5 ft Oh yeah, that electric ATV at the rear, the Cyberquad- will be an option for the Cybertruck buyers. Like most, it’s okay if you get first confused and then impressed. However, let’s wait until late 2021 until the automaker starts production and the real deal hits the road.
