Designer Franz von Holzhausen famously broke a window with a steel ball while trying to demonstrate its toughness at the Cybertruck’s reveal back in 2019, but Tesla still maintains that its “armor glass” can take a 70 mph baseball and withstand Class 4 hail, which is a measure of toughness for roofing as defined by the Underwriters Laboratories’ UL 2218 scale that means it can withstand a 2-inch steel ball being dropped from 20 feet repeatedly. Cybersurvivalĭon’t think for a second, though, that the Cybertruck is short on macho posturing. But the Raptor tops the Cybertruck in suspension travel, with a maximum of 15 inches besting the Tesla’s 12. Speaking of the Raptor, Tesla claims the Cybertruck’s height-adjustable suspension will enable a maximum of 17.4 inches of ground clearance, which bests Ford’s desert all-star by 5.4 inches. (The Raptor and the late Ram 1500 TRX both did because federal regulations require them on any vehicle 80 inches wide or greater.) The Cybertruck’s height, on the other hand, is a totally normal 70.5 inches. ![]() ![]() Its 86.6-inch width (with the mirrors folded) is the same as the 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor’s, which makes us wonder why the Cybertruck doesn’t have three little amber lights somewhere in its nose. GigatruckĪt 223.7 inches long, the Cybertruck stretches just 2 inches shy of a Chevrolet Suburban SUV. The company isn’t making any power claims for this truck yet but says it will hit 60 mph in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 112 mph, and it has a tow rating of 7,500 pounds. When the rear-drive truck appears, it will presumably also have a smaller battery, as Tesla says it will be able to manage just 250 miles on a charge. With onboard chargers capable of taking up to 250 kilowatts, Tesla says the trucks will be able to recharge up to 136 miles in just 15 minutes when connected to a Supercharger and that the AWD versions have an energy consumption rating of 42.9 kWh per 100 miles. With its less powerful motors sucking less energy from the battery pack, this Cybertruck is said to be good for 340 miles or more than 470 with the range extender. The cheaper of the two AWD trucks is still rather beastly, with 600 hp enabling a 4.1-second 0-60 sprint and a top speed of 112 mph. Range is quoted as 320 miles or “more than 440” when equipped with what Tesla calls a “range extender,” which according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk is an additional battery that takes up about a third of the bed. Unlike other vehicles capable of that sort of acceleration, it can also tow 11,000 pounds and handle a 2,500-pound payload. Tesla says the Cyberbeast can hit 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, run the quarter-mile in less than 11 and has a top speed of 130 mph. ![]() The headliner is the Cyberbeast trim, which has three electric motors generating a total of 845 horsepower and a claimed 10,296 pounds-feet of torque. Two all-wheel-drive variations of the Cybertruck are available to order now, and Tesla says a rear-drive base model will arrive in 2025.

Tesla has delivered the first Cybertrucks at a much-hyped event at its Austin, Texas, Gigafactory.
