The Cybertruck delivery event on November 30, 2023, was a momentous occasion, showcasing Tesla's groundbreaking advances in electric vehicle technology. Held at the impressive Tesla Gigafactory in Texas, this event marked the long-anticipated debut of the production version of the Cybertruck, an electric pickup truck that's set to revolutionize the automotive industry.
From the unique and distinctive design to the impressive array of technical and performance features, Cybertruck is unlike anything we have seen before.

Design and Durability
This is a vehicle that defies convention in every single way. Franz von Holzhausen, Chief Designer at Tesla, explains:
"[Cybertruck was built] from a 'first principles' perspective, not following what had already been done, but looking at what's the best way to create the strongest, most robust truck."

Cybertruck is built with a new, Tesla-designed stainless steel super alloy exterior that reduces dents, damage and long-term corrosion. Famously tough on the outside as well as on the inside, any body repairs will be quick, easy and inexpensive.
The truck's exterior includes armored glass that can withstand significant impacts, ensuring both the safety and durability of the vehicle. Rock chips or windshield cracks on that off-roading trip are a thing of the past.
In addition, the vehicle's 0.335 drag coefficient makes it the most aerodynamic truck in its class.
Utility
Cybertruck has a maximum payload of 2,500 pounds and a towing capacity of 11,000 pounds, making it incredibly versatile. How does it compare to the rest? Watch for yourself:
Storage
Pack it up! 67 cubic feet of lockable storage, with a 6'x4' composite truck bed that will not need a liner and can fit 4x8 construction materials, a hidden gear locker, and an additional 54 cubic feet available with the rear seats folded up. And don't forget the extra storage space in the power-operated front trunk!
Advanced Technology
Cybertruck is Tesla's first steer-by-wire vehicle with rear steering, allowing for precise and responsive handling. Imagine a pickup truck that handles like a sports car and has a better turning radius than a sedan: this is it.
The 4-corner adaptive air suspension give you 12" of travel and 17" of clearance.
Power When You Need It
Use Cybertruck to operate tools or charge another EV. With 120V and 240V outlets in the cabin and the bed, the 48-volt electrical system improves power distribution efficiency and capability to power high-amperage equipment like power tools. But it doesn't end there - if there is an outage in your area, Cybertruck can provide up to 11.5 kW of power directly to your home.
Interior Features
Cybertruck boasts the luxurious and high-tech interior that Tesla is known for, including an 18.5-inch infinity touchscreen and a 9.4-inch rear touchscreen with a new interface. It includes a 15-speaker sound system with 2 subwoofers and distributed amplifiers that deliver studio-quality sound, an hospital-grade HEPA air filtration system, wireless charging, and various power outlets for ultimate convenience and comfort.
The spacious cabin seats 5 adults comfortably, and the all glass roof offers expansive views of your surroundings - perfect for that camping trip.
Range and Performance
The Cybertruck offers exceptional range and power, making it as quick as a sports car.
The base rear-wheel drive version, starting at an attractive $60,990, promises a range of up to 250 miles.
The dual motor all-wheel drive model, starting at $79,990, offers a 340-mile range, 600 horsepower, acceleration from 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of 112 mph.
The high-end Cyberbeast version, priced at around $99,990, boasts an impressive 320-mile range, a staggering 845 horsepower, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.6 seconds, with a top speed of 130 mph.
A separate Range Extender will allow you to go even further - up to an estimated 470+ miles of total range.
