Editor's analysis
Radical stainless-steel exoskeleton with steer-by-wire maneuverability.
The Tesla Cybertruck is unlike anything else on American roads. Constructed with cold-rolled stainless-steel structural body panels and shatter-resistant glass, it incorporates revolutionary automotive technologies, including 100% steer-by-wire with rear-wheel steering and an automotive-first 48-volt low-voltage architecture. In dual-motor all-wheel-drive form, it generates 600 horsepower, reaches 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and tows up to 11,000 pounds with an EPA range of 340 miles. Its 6-foot composite bed features a motorized tonneau cover strong enough to stand on, revealing 67 cubic feet of lockable storage alongside 120V and 240V outlets capable of powering job sites. Peak charging speed is 250 kW at Superchargers. While its brutalist geometric styling sparks intense debate, its engineering innovations are undeniably formidable.
