We drove in the mid-engined twin-engine version of the truck, which is expected to climb from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, eventually starting at $ 49,900. But while the prototype was fast, the sense of speed was dampened by its size and its (undisclosed) weight. It was not really the thrill Tesla is known for.
So the single-engine base model of the cybertruck with full load with a payload of 3,500 pounds and a trailer load of 7,500 pounds is to go at least 250 miles - all at the same price as the entry-level model 3 and model Y.
As the price increases, so does the technical data, with a suggested range of over 500 miles and a towed load of over 14,000 pounds powered by the same three-engine "plaid powertrain" as the company Laguna Seca and tested at the Nürburgring. Musk promised that cyber pressure will survive any off-road scenario thanks to adaptive air suspension and ground clearance of up to 16 inches. Tesla also showed photos of the truck with a trailer and camping equipment on its website and gave hints on possible accessories (however, let us first look at the series trucks). There are even some features for the tabletop use of a modern truck, such as 110V and 220V outlets, lockable storage and some other features, such as an integrated air compressor.
And although cyber pressure, according to Tesla, carried out the next generation of its in-car software on a landscaped 17-inch touchscreen, the Tesla employee in the driver's seat made only a few adjustments while driving. Now that the truck's cover is broken, this software is something I'd like to see more in the coming months.
Tesla has built its entire existence on persuading people to buy something they did not consider desirable. Electric cars were mocked as weak golf carts before the company passed by. From this perspective, selling the cyberprint may not be as radical a challenge to the business as it seems. In addition, Elon Musk loves to swim upstream.
After my short time in the truck, I do not find it too strenuous to believe that the polarizing design could fade in people's minds once they're inside. The flat nose of the truck peeked out from behind the dashboard, but the spaciousness and the Model 3-style screen kept calling my attention in and out. If anything, the cybertruck in the front seats feels so confident that drivers in the US - put limousines on the death watch, because they are so impressed by the height of SUVs and trucks - appear in some ways as the perfect customer. (With that in mind, it's time to see some crash tests and hear things like crumple zones, Tesla.)
"Good design is often ridiculed at first, and over time it becomes normal," said Tyson Jominy, vice president of data and analytics consulting for JD Power, after the event. "However, it's hard to say if this fits this shape."
Musk told everyone for months that Tesla's first electric pickup would look like something out of Blade Runner's house. Yet for a brief moment after the truck appeared on stage, the entire room - a room full of Tesla customers and fans from all over the world - fell silent almost incredulously. As he rattled off the truck's specifications and features, I heard a few soft exclamations of "What the hell?" Before the screaming and roaring resumed. It was as if people in the room had expected a different kind of magic trick, one in which Musk laughed carefully before revealing the true Tesla pickup that still ate Ford F-150 for breakfast, but looked a little less alien. (This feeling only seemed to intensify when Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen broke the windows of the truck as he tried to demonstrate their durability.)
To be honest, anyone who participated in the unveiling of Cybertruck should have seen the design from the moment it arrived, as the company had moved so heavily into the Blade Runner atmosphere for the event. Musk challenged Tesla fans and customers to dress in cyberpunk clothing with many sporty trench coats, colorful LED goggles, homemade outfits, and shining sneakers. Tesla set up props from the movie (on loan from the Petersen Automotive Museum) in the parking lot. The company even made a noodle bar for those who were hungry.
But while Tesla's brazen CEO is known to have missed appointments and often struggles to live up to his own high promises, the cybertruck has made one thing clear: sometimes it's worth taking his word for it.
