The birth of Elon’s inner child😅.

The Tesla Cybertruck is the futuristic electric pickup truck that has been eagerly awaited by Tesla fans. Instantly distinguished by it’s angular exterior industrial design, it’s unlike any other production vehicle.

It’s already been four years since Tesla’s father showcased the cybertruck in an event in Los Angelos . At the event Elon shared to the world that he got the inspiration for the cybertruck’s design from two movies “Blade runner” and “The spy who loved me”.

We all remember the event and how it gave off mixed feelings some hated the design while other loved it, but it it safe to say it was definitely unlike nothing we had ever seen before. I was just this big block of metal boxy shapes said to be a car and apperently bulletproof too. The latter we got to find out wasn’t soo true😂😂. Elon, Franz “The head designer” and event one watching was shocked to see the soo called shutter proof glass was actually shutter proven.

My man with his billionaire shrug, we shouldn’t have tested the glass in front of live television.

It’s November 2023 now, Tesla’s engineer’s have had plenty of time to make the whole cyber truck thing work and we have started to see some of the final iterations of the being roll out from tesla’s Gigafactory and bring tested in California and Texas. Of all we know it is what the final production is going to look like.

Feature to expect in the the final production model Cyber truck:

first off the new and improved cyber truck is 5% small in every dimension than the prototype show truck one from 4 years ago, which I guess is a good thing😌. The Cyber tuck is going to have 3 versions:

The single moto Rear wheel drive( $61k), The dual motor($85k) and The Beast mode version with triple motors($100k).

The cyber truck is fast😶‍🌫️! the Beast mode version is going have a 0–60mph time of under 3.5 sec, 1/ 4 mile in 11 sec, 850Hp, 130mph top speed and 350 mile Range.

Fun features about the cyber truck:

A motorized front truck.

Adaptive air suspension offers 12” of travel and 17” of clearance.

The truck’s shatter-resistant armor glass can resist the impact of a baseball at 70 mph.

bullet proof body panels able to withstand .45mm bullets🛡️

Then it has really big wind shield with the world’s largest production windshield wipers ️on a truck.

Button operated doors ( no door handles!!), removable side mirrors, Powered truck bed and tonneau cover ( hard enough to stand on).

Steer by wire system, rear axles turning and turning circle smaller than an F-150😱.

In 2019 the cyber truck was the first of it’s kind, an electric truck weight over 7000 pounds. Now 2023 November and many trucks have been made electric since then soo it no longer hold that title of being the first any more.

But there is something about it that feels the first at what it does best.
