Tesla Trucks

At present, the only truck in the Tesla range is the long-anticipated Cybertruck. As expected from Tesla, the truck is fully-electric with a variety of strapping powertrains offered within the three-model selection. According to Tesla, the pickup truck will offer class-leading performance as an electric utility vehicle, in acceleration and general capability. It will also be brimming with creature comforts and conveniences that’ll complement the ultra-modern, upscale, and ergonomic interior. With the brand’s advanced Autopilot suite of driver-assist technology and a host of other safety specs, the automaker aims to make the pickup truck one of the safest on the road, too - no matter how divisive it is in appearance.

Tesla Pickup Truck Specifications

The Cybertruck has more going for it than just polarizing looks. Let’s take a closer look at what we can expect from the only Tesla truck to hit the US market:

• Performance: Powerful and instantaneous propulsion is a hallmark of Elon Musk's EVs, despite their hefty weight, and all three of the new Tesla pickup variants will inherently share this trait. They’re also skillfully compliant and poised in terms of handling, as well as very supple and refined on the road thanks to a standard-fit adaptive air suspension, all of which is complemented by its pleasantly quiet operation. With an approach angle of 35 degrees, a departure angle of 28 degrees, and a ground clearance of up to 16-inches, it is an apt off-road vehicle, too.
• Powertrain: Horsepower and torque outputs will depend on the power source chosen, of which a single-, dual-, or tri-motor setup is available. This is also what determines the individual trims in the line. Along with hp and torque ratings, range, mpg-equivalent gas mileage figures, and towing capacity are also determined by the constituents in play. The base-spec, which bears a rear-wheel-drivetrain, is fit for reaching up to 250 miles on a single charge and is capable of hauling up to 7,500 pounds. Both the other variants get more than one power source and an all-wheel-drivetrain, offering up to 300 or 500 miles of driving range and up to 10,000 or 14,000 pounds of hauling potential, respectively.
• Features: In the way of creature comforts and conveniences, each Tesla truck model should come comprehensively outfitted from the base-spec trim upwards. A large, tablet-like touchscreen is typically utilized in the automaker’s cars for all infotainment and in-cabin functions. The high-end brand typically installs all of the most advanced features into its automobiles, including the pioneering Autopilot driver-assist tech, an extensive array of seating functions, automated commands, and more. The body design comprises a crew-cab layout that seats up to six passengers and a 100-cubic-foot, lockable cargo bed.
