New Tesla Cybertruck: The Reinvented Pickup Truck

November 28, 2019

Tesla is one of the world-leading automotive and energy companies. The company is famous for its luxury electric vehicles with cutting-edge design and superior performance. And now, Tesla tries to reinvent an alternative to pickup trucks with its new Tesla Cybertruck. How?

Tesla craft vehicles in ways that are thought impossible. Auto-pilot, low-center gravity, impact protection, and rigid structure… you name it. Tesla defines the future.

And once again, Tesla, headed by Elon Musk, had just developed yet another irreproachable vehicle that made the internet crazy. Musk introduced the new Tesla Cybertruck, an alternative to pickup trucks but more advanced, uncompromising, and exquisite.

Here’s how Tesla tries to reinvent an alternative to pickup trucks with its new Tesla Cybertruck.

Maximum Protection of the New Tesla Cybertruck

Pickup trucks are fitted with a rollover protection structure (ROPS) to protect the driver and passengers from injuries caused by vehicle rollovers or overturns. The structure includes bars attached to the frame, which helps maintain a space for the passenger’s body in the event of a rollover.

The New Tesla Cybertruck steps at a whole other level. It has a razor-sharp exoskeleton shell made of cold-pressed stainless steel to ensure you get the maximum protection you need when you’re on the road.

The shell is built for optimum durability and passenger protection. Almost impenetrable, every part of the exterior shell is designed for strength and endurance. The structure is so thick and impassable; it’s bulletproof and sledgehammer-proof.

With the Tesla Cybertruck, you will never have to worry about getting dents from rocks and road debris.

On top of that, the Cybertruck has shatterproof armor glass windows, which will give you and your passengers an added protection against wind and flying debris.

The ultra-strong glass and polymer-layered composite can absorb and redirect impact force; tolerating damage, and improving your vehicle’s performance.

Tesla has always been so eager to improve the safety features of its vehicles. The Autopilot feature has become a standard on all Teslas.

The autopilot feature comes in two options.

The regular autopilot has traffic-aware cruise control and can automatically steer your car. Meanwhile, the full- self-driving option can do more. It can suggest and make lane changes and navigate highway interchanges and exits.

With these features, Cybertruck does not only offer transportability but also a comfortable and smooth driving experience.

So whether you’re going off-road, a rocky terrain, or boulder-strewn countryside, you can rely on the rigid structure of Cybertruck.

Let’s not forget that Tesla has received several recognitions from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Matchless James Bond-Inspired Design

Pickups are usually very straightforward when it comes to design. They come with an enclosed cab and an open cargo area (also called bed).

A regular pickup truck has a single row of seats and a single set of doors. Super cab pickups, on the other hand, have extra space behind the main seat, often small seats.

Most pickup trucks in the market nowadays seat five or six. Such pickups have four full-sized, front-hinged doors.

The cargo bed varies in size, depending on whether the truck is for cargo utility or passenger comfort.

Now let’s talk about how Tesla upped their game. The futuristic, angular design of Cybertruck was influenced partly by the car in The Spy Who Loved Me movie, Musk revealed on Twitter.

Cybertruck has the looks that of a pickup, except it’s edgier, more badass. The monochromatic stainless steel heavy-duty shell made the truck look like it came from a sci-fi movie.

The structure of Cybertruck defines geometry; the shell, windows, and even the wheels. The design is hard to match.

And you know what else is great about Cybertruck? Its design doesn’t compromise the comfort, drivability, and overall performance of a pickup truck.

Inside the modern truck, you’ll find six seats meticulously crafted to give all passengers matchless comfort and expensive feeling. Under the seats are extra storage, meaning you have more room for your essentials.

There is a 17” touchscreen in the dashboard so that you can control your vehicle settings, see the performance, and even navigate places.

Tesla really does a great job of reinventing vehicles, both design- and performance-wise.

Impressive Storage and Strength of the New Tesla Cybertruck

The cargo bed of Cybertruck won’t disappoint as well. On an average, a half-ton pickup can load up to 3,000 pounds of payload only, but Cybertruck’s bed can carry up to 3,500 pounds. It also features an adjustable air suspension.

The 100 cubic feet exterior storage can be locked with its strong tonneau cover so you can secure all your valuables.

You can place your toolbox, tires, and other camping needs in your vault-like cargo. It’s also spacious enough to load your Cyberquad ATV (which comes as an add on when you order Tesla Cybertruck).

This electric truck can also tow as much as 14,000 pounds without compromising performance. Most standard pickup trucks can only tow up to 10,000 pounds. The 2019 Honda Ridgeline, for example, has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds only. Meanwhile, the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado can only tow up to 7,700 pounds.

According to US News, the conventional pickup truck with the most towing capacity is the 2019 Ford F-150. It can tow as heavy as 13,200 pounds. Still, this supreme Ford pickup truck is no match to Tesla Cybertruck.

Adaptability Like No Other

Adaptability is one of the important elements a pickup must have. A vehicle with excellent adaptations can improve the quality of car journeys, whether you are a passenger or the driver.

The Tesla Cybertruck has features you won’t find in other pickup trucks. Whether you want to drive on highways or off-road, Cybertruck is prepared for every experience. The utilitarian design includes compressed air and on-board power.

Under the sidebeds of the cargo are pull-up counter, giving you a surface to settle your items when camping.

You can also raise and lower the e-truck’s suspension four inches in either direction so that you can access Cybertruck or the vault easily. You will also love the self-leveling capabilities of Cybertruck intended to assist you with every job.

Topnotch Performance and Efficiency

Tesla is known not only for crafting electric vehicles with superb safety features but also with impressive performance and incomparable efficiency.

The brutalist Cybertruck crushes most pickup trucks in the market today when it comes to speed, strength, and versatility.

Speed

There are only a few notable pickup trucks that deliver sports car-like acceleration without compromising their utility. People admire pickup trucks because they do a great job at towing and hauling. But at the end of the day, who doesn’t want a futuristic truck that can tow and haul with speed like that of a sports car?

Some of the popular high-end pickup trucks in the market today include Ford SVT Raptor, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2, and Dodge Ram SRT-10. Yet the Tesla Cybertruck can outperform these top-dollar trucks.

The Ford SVT Raptor is undeniably impressive. It has a 411 horsepower engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. It can reach 60 mph real quick, in only 6.5 seconds to be exact.

Chevrolet Silverado, on the other hand, has formidable performance. It features a V-8 engine that produces a blazing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of twist. It also brags an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powerful truck can run 0 to 60 mph in only six seconds.

The Dodge Viper won’t disappoint as well. Launch it, and you can reach 60 mph in under five seconds.

If you think these vehicles are a crackerjack, then wait until you learn about the speed of the Tela Cybertruck. This electric Blade Runner truck can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.9 seconds and up to 500 miles of range — thanks to its powerful drivetrain and low center of gravity that provides outstanding traction control and torque.

Strength

Fast cars like Cybertruck needs a low center of gravity. It’s not hard to understand why.

The faster the car, the lower the center of gravity needs to be, so the vehicle can turn without lifting up the wheels closest to the inside of the turn.

The low center of gravity is an important factor to consider if you’re thinking about buying a vehicle you bring off-road.

Usually, off-road vehicles like trucks and jeeps have a wide base to compensate for their higher center of gravity and improve stability. Sports cars like Mustang have a low center of gravity to corner at a high rate of speed without turning over.

Cybertruck is basically a truck, yet it has a low center of gravity. So, putting your hands on the wheels of Cybertruck is basically like driving a truck but with speed and stability that of a sports car.

Versatility

Like any other pickup truck, the new Tesla Cybertruck is remarkably versatile. This beast is perfect both on highways and off-road terrains.

The aerodynamic structure can break wind and enable the vehicle to zip the road lightning fast. The thick all-terrain tires also make the truck convenient even on rough and rocky roads, with a suspension system that will make your ride smooth and comfy rather than bumpy.

Regular trucks don’t usually get these features, and if they do, they often cost an arm and a leg. For example, the Ford F-150 Raptor costs $53,000. The Chevrolet Silverado cost around $30,000, while other high-end Chevrolet models can cost up to $70,000.

So whether you want to drive on asphalt or rocky mountain, the new Tesla Cybertruck is versatile enough to give you remarkable driving experience with uncompromised strength, speed, and stability.
