Tesla Cybertruck – A New Kind of Car

Last Updated on July 14, 2020 by TM

Tesla just unveiled her first electric pickup truck called the “Cybertruck”. The name sounds kind of sweet when you trying to pronounce it the very first time you heard it but can you say the same about the truck.🤔

Before now, we all have been expecting to see Tesla manufacture her first e-truck. I guess they got the message on time, now we are seeing one. Could this be what we were really expecting to see?

Truth be told, the Tesla Cybertruck is a very nice and highly sophisticated truck that comes with some interesting technology inside but her outlook is a lot funny and hard to believe.

You know when you see trucks like this get manufactured, your first impressions will be a wowing one. There absolutely is no body that will see this truck and won’t have anything to say.

In my own opinion, I will say this Tesla Cybertruck was manufactured for Hollywood 😊. You know it will be fun to engage it in some real action for a movie but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. This e-truck was made for anyone who finds it interesting.

Let’s go into some more details

EXTERIOR DESIGN

The design of this vehicle looks very different. To be honest, I haven’t seen a truck like this before. Because of her unique design, this truck has some serious amount of durability. According to Tesla, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance.

Yes! The Tesla Cybertruck is bullet proof. It comes with an ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless-steel structural skin that proved herself as highly protective at the launch event. The glass is also expected to be an armor one.

The body is not only bullet proof, it is highly resistible to hit. During the launch event, a sledge hammer was used to hit the Tesla Cybertruck. Guess what? It survived the test. Nothing was affected

With the above mentions, passengers are safe inside the Tesla Cybertruck. I guess the military might be interested in buying this truck in Nigeria.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The Tesla Cybertruck comes complete with an advanced 17” touchscreen that comes with an all-new customized user interface. The dashboard is however plain with nothing too serious on it.

For passengers, there are up to six seats available on the Tesla Cybertruck. It is very comfortable. There is also an additional storage under the second-row just incase you have something to hide.

TRUNK LOAD

What can the Tesla Cybertruck carry?

In the truck, you can put a 3,500 pounds of payload capacity and the Cybertruck will be fine with some adjustable air suspension. You are also going to get some storage space for your toolbox, tire and cyberquad.

PERFORMANCE

The Tesla Cybertruck is on a league of her own when you talk about strength, speed and versatility. It has rugged strength that gives it the capability to tow/pull over 14,000 pounds load.

It comes with a powerful drivetrain and a low center of gravity that provides extraordinary traction control and torque which enables you to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and up to 500 miles of range.

The Tesla Cybertruck also comes with an adaptive air suspension that can raise and lower suspension four inches in either direction for convenient access to the Cybertruck with on-board power and compressed air.

My Thoughts

When I look at the Tesla Cybertruck, I just can’t help but laugh at it. This brings me to the simple question I would love to ask.
Who designed this Truck? 🤨

The Tesla Cybertruck reminds me of the Hummer jeep that was selling in Nigeria some years back. It wasn’t that beautiful but it was selling. Who bought it?

This brings me to my second question of whether people are going to fall in love with the Tesla Cybertruck in Nigeria or not because I know my people love cars.

In my own opinion, the Tesla Cybertruck is a highly technological vehicle that is just for work. It is not for luxury by any means.

Fine, you can buy for the military, shot a movie with it, use it for an adventure or maybe in construction sites and the likes. But not to wedding, anniversary or church.
