The Tesla Cybertruck might just be the safest and coolest looking car to hit the market! The truck looks like an artwork, while every component of the piece is designed for superior strength and endurance. The structural skin is made of Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel, the same material rocket ships are made of!
Not only does it mean you won’t have to worry about damage and dents happening easily, but you and your passengers will be under maximum protection inside. Tesla said:
If there were something better, we’d use it.
The Cybertruck is the most powerful tool Tesla has ever built, with up to 3,500 pounds of payload capacity, as well as adjustable air suspension. It’s engineered with 100 cubic feet of exterior and lockable storage. The vehicle comes with a magic tonneau cover included that is so strong you can stand on it! Furthermore, it has a towing capacity of over 14,000 pounds and can do it in any extreme situation with ease.
The cabin seats six passengers comfortably with storage space for items under the second-row seats. An all-new customized user interface can be utilized via an advanced 17″ touchscreen on the dash.
Thanks to the features made possible only with an all-electric design, the Cybertruck is on a whole new level of strength, speed, and versatility. Tesla explains on their website:
The powerful drivetrain and low center of gravity provide extraordinary traction control and torque—enabling acceleration from 0-60 mph in as little as 2.9 seconds and up to 500 miles of range.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently revealed the long-awaited electric pickup truck at its Design Studio in Hawthorne, California. CNN reports on the audience’s reaction as such:
When the truck initially drove onto the stage, many in the crowd clearly couldn’t believe that this was actually the vehicle they’d come to see. The Cybertruck looks like a large metal trapezoid on wheels, more like an art piece than a truck. Instead of a distinctly separate cab and bed, the body appears to be a single form.
The presentation went on with Musk explaining how the newly developed stainless steel alloy – the same metal used in the production of the company’s SpaceX rockets – makes the car “literally bulletproof.”
Then, a man appears with a sledgehammer and hits the sides of the truck to show how it doesn’t damage.
Next, they go to demonstrate how the metal glass windows are unbreakable, but that didn’t go quite as planned. When the man threw a metal ball at the window, it did break. However, Musk shared Twitter footage of them throwing the metal ball at the glass before the show and it didn’t break.
Regardless, “Cybertruck would be more capable, in terms of towing and hauling, than a Ford F-150,” says Musk, “and perform as a better sports car than a Porsche 911.” Plus, there’s plenty more to be excited about! For example, the adaptive air suspension system that can allow the driver to adjust the ride height of the truck for when they switch from the highway to off-road.

Another thing to get happy about is the super price of just $39,900 for the base version. The cost of a top-end Tri-Motor AWD version starts at $69,900, which isn’t so bad considering what it’s capable of! There will also be the option to upgrade the top-end model to Tesla’s “self-driving” version for $7,000 more.
As a grand finale to his presentation of the Cybertruck, Musk says: “Oh, yeah. We also made an ATV.”
And in enters a rider on a small electric all-terrain vehicle. The truck’s tailgate then flipped down, and an extended built-in ramp came down, so the driver was able to ride up into the bed of the Cybertruck with ease. The ATV will be available to purchase, however, only if you purchase a Tesla Cybertruck.
According to Tesla, production is set to begin in late 2021.
