Tesla's first ever pickup truck will most likely be a more prominent sign in 2021 with its abnormal shape and dystopian look this tesla automobile could revolutionize the way people drive motor vehicles so let's take a look at some interesting facts about musk's latest brainchild before we dive into it make sure to give this content a thumbs up if you enjoy subscribe to tech division and hit the bell icon for notifications alright.
Number 10
Power
don't let cyber trucks roar and industrialist design fool you this is no ordinary pickup truck according to musk.The truck can move like a lamborghini and tow like a freightliner according to the specifications put out by tesla. The cyber truck will have an 800 horsepower engine and will be able to go from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds not to mention that the truck can also tow up to 14 000 pounds. A powerful vehicle without a doubt and will provide stiff competition to other trucks out in the market but what exactly differentiates cybertruck from the rest.
Number nine
New Exoskeleton
It's a known fact that the cyber truck will share its stainless steel exoskeleton with the starship spacecraft the starship is designed to withstand both the hot and freezing temperatures that space has to offer the 304 stainless steel alloy was initially selected due to its strength and durability however musk later tweeted that some parts of the starship will include the 304l steel as it would be better suited to the temperature in space with the cyber truck using the same material you can expect it to be sturdier and much more damage resistant than most trucks out there.
Number eight
Interior Styling
Tesla have their own unique sense of style when it comes to interior design and the cyber truck is no exception the blank dashboard and a small steering wheel coupled with the tablet interface give the truck the trademark tesla aesthetic at first glance the dashboard seems to be manufactured from some sort of marble but looks can be deceiving instead it is actually made out of compressed paper not only does it cut costs but the paper made dashboard also keeps in line with tesla's commitment towards sustainability.
Number seven
Bulletproof
We've already discussed tesla's new exoskeleton and how it will be made out of the same material as the starship aircraft so it's no surprise that the truck will be able to withstand nine millimeter ammunition that is commonly used in both handguns and machine guns musk even had design chief franz von holzhausen come on stage during the vehicle's reveal and smash the cyber truck with a sledgehammer to prove a point while most regular cars aren't exactly bulletproof musk's cybertruck is which makes the question why would he want this truck to be bulletproof well this next point on our list might be able to answer that question.
Number six
Inspirations from pop culture
Musk has always made his love for sci-fi and bond films quite public he's even gone as far as saying that cyber trek's design was inspired partially by the blade runner universe if the event was an indication of tesla's intentions it was pretty clear that they were going to market this product with a futuristic pickup truck while many believe that this is all a marketing ploy most sources would reveal that musk has been inspired by sci-fi titles such as the foundation series and the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy besides books elon also has great inspiration from a well-known video game titled by the name of halo even tweeting that the cyber truck was inspired by the warthog in halo.
Number five
Makeshift boat
When asked on twitter if the cybertruck could cross streams musk responded by saying that the truck would even be able to float on water his tweet read a tesla works as a boat for short periods as an electric car has no intake or exhaust to block and battery motor electronics are water sealed submarines are just underwater evs however it is still unsure if the truck will have the option to transform into a submarine like the lotus e spirit from the famous james bond film the spy who loved me from the looks of it the vehicle will be able to float on water for a while so it can be useful during a flood but not very handy if you're looking to take it for a spin in the ocean.
Number four
Built-in bed
If you're purchasing a pickup truck you'd expect it to come with a bed and tesla doesn't disappoint there they refer to it as the vault and it's cooler than it sounds made of the same stainless steel as the exterior it also suffers no intrusions from the wheel wells which gives it a clean and flat rectangular level the tailgate also opens up where you can find a side out loading ramp that allows vehicles such as an atv to roll up and into the vault with ease the same vault also has a cover that can be rolled up which helps the car achieve higher aerodynamic efficiency.
Number three
No mirrors
One of the strangest features of the cyber truck will be the lack of side mirrors it technically doesn't even have a rear view mirror instead there's a screen in front that shows you your surroundings However it is likely that the cyber truck will end up coming equipped with side mirrors as having them is required by the law in the united states even though the audi itron has already been released in europe with cameras instead of side mirrors the u.s still doesn't allow for that perhaps we may see a change of law to accommodate this futuristic feature number two long range driving the cyber truck is said to be one of the most anticipated vehicles coming out this year and it is clear to see why tesla projects that the truck can travel up to 500 miles while equipped with an optional stacked battery pack although the standard battery still packs a punch and can last up to 250 miles tesla also plans to expand its supercharger stations across america's coastal areas making recharging much easier and accessible to the public.
Number one
New user interface
While this particular model may lack in visual beauty it makes up for it with the technology that brings it to the table the cyber truck will be equipped with a 17 inch display a size similar to the displays found in the model s and the model x and according to the company. The cybertrx interface will be tailored specifically for truck users tesla hasn't elaborated yet on these specifications but we expect it to include things like on-screen controls for autonomous trailer hitching various picker bed features and adjustments for long travel air suspension so what do you think of the cyber truck do you think it will revolutionize the way we travel or will it be a bust let us know down in the comments and don't forget to subscribe .
