TESLA Cybertruck The future car

Tesla's Cybertruck is one of the most polarizing automobile designs to debut in decades. In fact, you could say it's driving a wedge between the various factions of the automotive community. Some people think it looks brutal, aggressive and rugged like some kind of electric dystopian Matrix bro-dozer. Others think it looks like something that Ikea might offer as its first flat-pack vehicle. But what do we actually know about it?

Design

Well, to start, we know that it's got a thick, unfinished stainless steel body. Stainless steel looks cool, but could present several problems, based on other companies' attempts at making it work on a production vehicle -- namely DeLorean with the DMC-12. The material is tough and resistant to corrosion, but it's also difficult to repair and almost impossible to paint. Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims that the body of the Cybertruck is capable of withstanding sledgehammers and certain types of small-arms fire. The vehicle's glass, though? Not so much.

The truck's dimensions put it in line with other full-size trucks on sale today such as the F-150, Ram 1500 and Silverado 1500. Specifically, the Cybertruck is 231.7 inches long, 79.8 inches wide and 75 inches tall, with seating for six adults. Off-road performance looks decent too, with a 35-degree approach angle, a 28-degree departure angle and up to 16 inches of ground clearance.

12 coolest features of Tesla's .of rs 2992500.

• 1. The passenger pickup can seat six people.
• 2. The automaker claims the truck has an almost impenetrable body made from "ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel" and armored glass.

The durable stainless steel shell on the truck mitigates dents, damage, and corrosion, according to the automaker.

3. Meanwhile, the "ultra-strong" glass can cushion and avert impact force.

However, the Cybertruck reveal showed that the glass may not be as "impenetrable" as the automaker originally claimed otherwise when an object thrown at it damaged the glass during two separate demo on stage.

4. Cybertruck comes in three configurations: Single Motor Rear-Wheel Drive, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive, and Tri-Motor All-Wheel Drive.

The single-motor rear-wheel-drive has a range of 250 miles, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive can achieve 300 miles, and the most expensive tri-motor all-wheel-drive can make 500 miles.

5. In the tri-motor variant, it will be able to hit 60 mph in about 2.9 seconds.

6. As well as tow more than 14,000 pounds.

7. And carry a payload capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.

8. The cargo area in the rear is lockable, and the truck has a total of 100 cubic feet of enclosed exterior storage.

9. It also comes with a "magic" tonneau cover that is tough enough to withstand the weight of a person standing on it, according to the automaker.

10/ The truck also has onboard power for plugging in tools and other appliances.

11. As well as an adaptive air suspension that raises and lowers the Cybertruck's suspension by four inches for easier access. There is also a self-leveling feature.

12. An electric ATV — the Cyberquad — was also announced at the Cybertruck's unveiling, and will originally only be available as a Cybertruck option, according to CEO Elon Musk.
