Tesla's, first pickup truck (cyber 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 automobiles.

 

10.  POWER

This is no ordinary pickup truck.

Musk mentioned that 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(HP) engine and will be able to go from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds.

The truck can also tow up to 14 000 pounds a powerful vehicle without a doubt.

It will provide stiff competition to other trucks out in the market.

 

9.  NEW EXOSKELETON

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, it is expect to be sturdier and much more damage resistant than most trucks out there.

 

8.  INTERIOR STYLING

Tesla always have their own unique sense of style when it comes to interior design.

The cyber truck is no exception the blank dashboard and a small steering wheel coupled with the tablet interface.

That 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.


7.  BULLET PROOF

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.

6.  INSPIRATIONS FROM POP CULTURE

Musk has always made his love for sci-fi and bond films.

He's even gone as far as saying that cyber truck'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.


5.  MAKE SHIFT BOAT

Musk also mentioned that the truck would even be able to float on water.

Tesla works as a boat for short periods.

It can be useful during a flood but not very handy, if it has to take it for a spin in the ocean.

 

4.  BUILT IN BED

A pickup truck expect to come with a bed is tesla cyber truck.

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 and there’s 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.

 

3.  NO MIRRORS

One of the strangest features of the cyber truck is that it technically doesn't even have a rear view mirror.

Instead there's a screen in front that shows the surroundings.

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

 

2.  LONG RANGE DRIVING

The cyber truck is said to be one of the most anticipated vehicles coming out this year.

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.

1.  NEW USER INTERFACE

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.

According to the company, the cyber tuck interface will be tailored specifically for truck users.

Tesla hasn't elaborated yet on these specifications but it could be expect to include things like on-screen controls for autonomous, trailer hitching, various picker, bed features, and adjustments for long travel air suspension.
