There is absolutely no reason to mistake this truck for something else on the road. His body is made of a steel alloy that according to Musk is dent-resistant and scratch-resistant, and according to a demo on-site at the soffit, it is also protected from a sledgehammer. In fact, he also says that cyber-pressure is bullet-proof up to 9mm grenades. The metal used should be the same as the metal used to skin the SpaceX Starship prototype being built and tested. It is also interesting that the exposed metal body parts are actually a structural part of the truck. It's literally unibody, where the body is the frame. The glass should also be extremely strong, although not quite as strong as hoped by Musk, because the glass of Cybertrucks splintered quite spectacularly on stage. Of course this is not planned, but hey, welcome to a Tesla vehicle debut.
To be fair, Musk shared a video about what should have happened during the window-strength demonstration, even with windows still intact, even after a steel ball was thrown on top of it. Here's the off-stage trial video that Musk tweeted:
So yes, the bodywork is super strong, but what about vehicle statistics? Musk threw out some serious numbers for the Bonkers pickup, not the least of which was 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds for the high-performance four-wheel drive. This machine will also turn a quarter of a mile in 10.8 seconds, and it is said "corner as it is on rails". In its most efficient form (Tesla will offer three versions) it can exceed 500 miles with a single charge, with base models adding a range of over 250 miles and a solar charge a range of 25 kilometers per day. In addition, a Motor Trend report estimates that the Plaid ultra-high-performance upgrade could produce up to 800 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque. Official cyber-press numbers have not yet been released, but such motivation seems not inappropriate given the time of less than three seconds between 0 and 60 for something that will obviously weigh heavily.
At first glance, cornering on rails seems to be rather impossible, but the cybertruck drives with an adaptive air suspension, which gives the truck up to 16 inches of ground clearance. The suspension can also be lowered in no time for use on the road and can be clamped in the charging mode directly on the back, so that toys like Tesla's fast ATV (which also made a surprise debut at the event) are much easier to handle. Go.
Okay, it sounds quite shocking in terms of performance, and it definitely looks crazy, but can it work as a real truck? The cyber-pressure comes with an industry-standard 6.5-foot pickup bed and a load capacity of 3,500 pounds. It is either with a single motor / rear wheel drive, a dual motor / four-wheel drive, or a three-motor / four-wheel drive arrangement. For off-road driving, it has a 35-degree approach angle and a 28-degree take-off angle and can pull up to 14,000 pounds. And because it's an EV truck with air suspension, power tool sockets and air ducts are literally integrated into the package.
