The Tesla Cybertruck makes its debut with multiple variants following.
The Tesla Cybertruck has been one of the most eagerly awaited vehicles since its introduction in 2019. After a wait of over four years, this innovative vehicle is finally making its way to the market, albeit in limited quantities at first. The initial rollout will prioritize the exclusive “Foundation Series” models before expanding to other variants. Notably, the standard version of the truck features all-wheel drive, and those interested in the base rear-wheel-drive model will have to wait until 2025 to place their orders. Here are the key highlights and specifications of the truck that have been revealed so far.
Highlights of the Tesla Cybertruck
The Tesla Cybertruck stands out with its cutting-edge design, featuring Tesla’s first-ever 800-volt electrical system which minimizes wiring complexity. Each variant of the truck is constructed with a robust stainless-steel body and includes a bed area measuring 6 feet by 4 feet. The Cybertruck maintains consistent exterior measurements at 95 inches in width, 223.7 inches in length, and a height of 70.5 inches. Models equipped with air suspension offer the added benefit of slight height adjustability.
