Yes, yes… we know it looks like a prop off a sci-fi movie set. But this is the all-new Tesla Cybertruck – designed to have the utility of a truck and the performance of a sports car.
The vehicle’s an angular, stainless-steel-bodied utility vehicle with bulletproof glass claims a towing capacity in excess of six tonnes.
Built to be durable, versatile and capable, Tesla says it has exceptional performance both on-road and off-road.
Despite looking like something out of ‘Demolition Man’, it promises a range of over 500 miles and a 0–62mph time of 2.9 seconds.
An offering of three variants sees a Single Motor Rear-Wheel Drive, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive, and Tri Motor All-Wheel Drive are available.
Inside, you’ll find two rows of three seats, with the centre front seat folding flat to make an armrest.
The dash is the Tesla signature feature you’d expect – just a single 17-inch landscape touchscreen.
It sits on top of what looked like a marble-effect panel stretching the entire width of the car with no other visible controls. The steering wheel is similar to that in the Tesla Roadster with its flat bottom and cut-off top.
The rear-view mirror is a screen, rather than a conventional glass unit, which uses a feed from a high-definition camera in the tailgate, while the roof glass roof extends back over the rear passengers who get a view of the steel-clad load bed.
