TESLA CYBERTRUCK
₹TBA, tesla.com
Whether it’s making all-electric supercars or launching rockets into space, Tesla certainly knows how to grab our attention. Well, Elon Musk and co didn’t so much grab our attention with its new concept vehicle, the Cybertruck, as lift us up by the lapels and throw us squarely into the future.
Looking like something imagined by a 1980s filmmaker (and no doubt some will hate its entire design aesthetic), this mean-looking four-wheeler is described by Tesla as having “better utility than a truck, with more performance than a sports car”. That’s quite some combination, and the spec sheet certainly seems to back up that lofty claim…
The Cybertruck boasts the same protective stainless-steel skin as Tesla’s Starship space raider, as well as ultra-tough glass, up to 16 inches of ground clearance with adaptive air suspension, and a huge towing capacity of more than 14,000lbs. The top-end Tri Motor AWD model’s 0-100kmph figure of 2.9 seconds is enough to thrill sports car fans.
Perhaps even more amusing is how Tesla suggests you could use this futuristic truck in an outdoors setting; in some promo shots the Cybertruck is pictured in a forest, complete with pop-up awning and tail-gate barbecue. Imagine the looks you’d get if you drove this
