Tesla Cybertruck, the electric car is officially launched. Offers and prices

Tesla has finally begun the first delivery of the long-awaited Cybertruck. At the same time, it has finally The final measurements have been revealed of the new electric pickup. The event specially created by the car manufacturer for the launch of Cybertruck held yesterday evening had high expectations. In fact, it was shorter than expected.

With a little delay, the event began with the arrival of Elon Musk who climbed into the bed of the pickup, calling the Cybertruck Tesla’s best product. Moreover, he emphasized that this new model is more convenient than a pickup and faster than a sports car.

The future will finally look like the future.

The number one Tesla then started talking about other Cybertruck services. For example, The stability of the pickup is higher than that of the McLaren P1. Elon Musk then wanted to emphasize the resistance of the glass. For this, he called the head of design to the stage Franz von Holzhausen who threw a baseball at the crystal that remained intact. Tesla therefore wanted to “play” a little with these small demonstrations. In fact, in 2019, during the presentation of Cybertruck, Franz von Holzhausen threw a metal ball at the windows to show their opposition. The glass, however, cracked.

On a more serious note, the automaker then showed a short clip in which a man uses a machine gun to shoot off the door of a Cybertruck, with the body foaming but not breaking. Elon Musk then talked about other aspects of the electric pickup and then continued with the actual delivery.

If the event was greedy for details, opening the installer allowed us to discover all the secrets of the electric pickup.

The Tesla Cybertruck has a body realized in Stainless Steel Alloy which was designed to be very resistant. Not for nothing, as mentioned earlier, Tesla showed a video in which the bodywork can be seen resisting bullets. Glass, on the other hand, can withstand the impact of a baseball thrown at 112 km/h or a category 4 hailstorm.

The electric pickup can also rely on electronic air suspension and a ground clearance of 432 mm. Versions towing capacity of 4,990 kg and a load of 1,134 kg. The Cybertruck also has a 1,897-litre boot to which 1,530 liters can be added by folding the rear seats. To demonstrate the vehicle’s towing capacity, during the presentation, Elon Musk demonstrated how the Cybertruck can tow a trailer more easily than models such as the Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning and Ford F-350.

To demonstrate the acceleration capabilities of the electric pickup, during the presentation Tesla showed the Cybertruck speeding through a Porsche 911 while pulling a trailer with the 911 on top.

In the technical data sheet he wrote the details. In fact, Tesla is talking about a kind of column extender which will allow the range of the AWD and Cyberbeast models to be extended to, respectively, 470 miles and 440 miles. Initially, Tesla did not explain what it was about.

An optional package that fits about 1/3 of the truck bed. Still plenty of room to carry loads.

It is intended for very long journeys or towing heavy objects up mountains.

Later, Elon Musk directly intervened explaining that it is one extra battery which will be placed in the box. However, it is not known when it will be available and how much it will cost.

Along with the launch of the electric car, Tesla has also made a series of accessories available including the tent “BaseCamp” which must be attached to the back of the pickup. There are also mats, ramps for the cargo bed, additional storage boxes, snow chains and much more.

Equipment that can increase over time.
