It’s the world’s first electric pickup truck, with a unique and futuristic look. When Elon Musk first introduced it in 2019, its design astonished the entire world. Is it really a truck or a spaceship? Let’s tell you everything about this unique vehicle in detail today.

Tesla Cybertruck
If you’ve ever seen a pickup truck before, the Cybertruck will look completely different. Its design lacks a single curve—everything is made of straight lines and sharp angles. It looks as if someone assembled a vehicle from steel boxes. Its body is made of stainless steel, which is extremely strong and durable. Tesla claims that this steel is so strong that even a hammer blow won’t dent it. The design isn’t just for aesthetics, but there’s a scientific reason behind it: it gives the vehicle better aerodynamics, which increases battery range.
Bulletproof Body
The Cybertruck’s most talked-about feature is its bulletproof body. Yes, you heard that right! Its body can withstand a 9mm bullet. This was proven when Elon Musk threw a steel ball at the Cybertruck’s body at the launch event, and it bounced back without causing any damage. The windows are also bulletproof. Although the glass cracked during the launch event, Tesla has now fixed the issue. This safety feature makes the Cybertruck one of the safest vehicles in the world.
Performance
Imagine a pickup truck that can go as fast as a sports car! The top variant of the Cybertruck features three electric motors, which can accelerate it from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. This performance is even better than many supercars. Its top speed is up to 210 km/h. What’s most surprising is that despite its high speed, it can carry up to 800 kg and tow up to 3500 kg. This vehicle proves that electric vehicles are not only good for the environment but can also be more powerful than petrol vehicles.
Battery and Range
The Cybertruck comes in three different variants with varying ranges. The single-motor variant has a range of 400 km, the dual-motor variant has a range of 480 km, and the top-end triple-motor variant has a range of up to 800 km. This range is perfect for a large country like India. You can comfortably travel from Delhi to Jaipur without stopping. As for battery charging, it can charge up to 275 km in just 15 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger station.
Interior and Features
The Cybertruck’s interior is as unique as its exterior design. It features a large 17-inch touchscreen that controls all the controls. The steering is yoke-style, reminiscent of an airplane steering wheel. The cabin can comfortably accommodate six people. The most notable feature is its cargo bed – it’s 6.5 feet long and has a roll-up cover. The cargo bed has 110V and 220V power outlets, allowing you to run power tools or use electric equipment while camping. It also has an air compression system that keeps luggage compressed.
Prospects in India
The Cybertruck’s starting price in India is expected to start around ₹70-80 lakh. However, the Cybertruck’s arrival in India may take some time. Its biggest challenge is India’s narrow roads and traffic. The 19-foot-long vehicle will not be easy to drive on Indian roads. Furthermore, Tesla’s Supercharging network is still in its early stages of expansion in India. But if Tesla sets up its plant in India, it may be possible to see the Cybertruck on Indian roads in the future.
