Tesla's Cybertruck - top features and specifications
Musk said the truck, made of shiny stainless steel and shaped into flat planes, is partly inspired by a car-turned-submarine in the 1977 James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me".

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk on Thursday, November 30 in Austin, Texas presided over the delivery of the company’s long-awaited Cybertruck, four years after it was first unveiled. Musk did not announce the vehicle's prices at the event, but Tesla's website listed the prices; https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck/design#payment

The Cybertruck has three variants: the Rear-Wheel Drive, the All-Wheel Drive and the Cyberbeast. The cheapest variant is the Rear-Wheel Drive and it comes with the starting price of $49,890, it will be available in 2025. The All-Wheel Drive variant will be available for deliveries in 2024 and the price starts at $68,890. The highest performance variant, the 'Cyberbeast' will be available next year and the price starts at $96,390.

Cybertruck has caught the attention of many drivers with its polarizing design that promises a durable build and unique features. The electric pickup, however, enters a fiercely competitive truck market, with automakers trying to one-up rivals with utility and features.

The Cybertruck has a unique trapezoidal exterior design inspired by the "Blade Runner" movie and stainless-steel alloy exoskeleton that challenges the traditional aesthetics of the pickup truck market with some features not seen before.

RANGE
The base rear-wheel drive variant can travel an estimated 250 miles, while the all-wheel drive and "Cyberbeast" variants can travel 340 miles and 320 miles, respectively.

The top two variants can travel further with an optional range extender that takes about a third of the truck's bed space. "It's meant for very long trips or towing heavy things up mountains," CEO Elon Musk said on X.

POWER
Tesla's top-of-the-line "Cyberbeast" Cybertruck can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds, outperforming many sports cars.

Musk on Thursday showed a video of the truck trumping Porsche 911 in a drag race, while towing another unit of the sports car.

It also boasts a towing capacity of 11,000 pounds, matching Rivian's R1T and slightly higher than Ford F-150 Lightning and GM Silverado EV's 10,000 pounds.

BODY
The Cybertruck is the first car in the U.S. since the DMC DeLorean of "Back to The Future" fame to use a stainless steel body and it also has armor glass that can resist the impact of a baseball at 70 miles per hour or Class 4 hail.

Musk said the doors are bulletproof to .45 caliber & 9 milimeter rounds. He showed a video demonstrating the capability to the audience at the event in Austin, Texas.

UTILITY
The truck has a 6-foot-long bed, extra storage space under the bed and a tonneau cover that follows the angular shape of the car to the tailgate.

It also has further storage space in the front like its other passenger vehicles. The Cybertruck, however, has a powered gate.

The vehicle has 120 volt and 240 volt outlets in the bed and cabin to operate tools, charge EVs or provide up to 11.5 kilowatt of power to light up a home.
