Design, low price and breakable glass - these are its features





Tonight, in Los Angeles, Elon Mask, as promised, introduced the next Tesla electric car. It was the Cybertruck pickup truck, and the big-name goes very well with the brutal exterior of the model. So brutal that for the protection of pedestrians in the tests of an organization like the NHTSA, he is unlikely to get more than 0 points. But with such firms, you don’t even have to redo it for filming in any post-apocalyptic blockbuster.





According to the mask, the designers of Cybertruck were inspired by the legendary Lotus Esprit S1 from the tenth film of the Bondian “The Spy Who Loved Me”. In this tape, the car turned into a submarine.









Cybertruck, alas, does not have such an opportunity, but due to its characteristic shape it cannot be seen by ground-based radars (just kidding) and it can tow a trailer with a gross weight of 6.35 tons (really). So in terms of traction characteristics, the Cybertruck bypasses the most popular Ford F-150 pickup truck in the USA and accelerates from 0 to 96 km / h in just 2.9 s - faster than the Porsche 911. This is such a hybrid from the world of pickups and sports cars.









But in terms of the power plant Cybertruck is not a hybrid, but a full-fledged electric car with the autonomy of 400, 565 and 800 km, depending on the version (according to the EPA method). According to official figures, it can be charged at 250 kW Supercharger stations and is equipped with a built-in air compressor for tire inflation.















Despite this, prices have already been announced. The basic version with a single electric motor and rear-wheel drive is priced at $ 39900. For comparison, the cost of the Ford F-150 2020 model starts in the United States at $ 28,340. But, for example, a well-packed Ford F-150 Lariat will cost more - $ 43,095.









For an all-wheel-drive Cybertruck with two electric motors and a range of 565 km, you will have to pay $ 10,000, while a top-wheel all-wheel-drive Cybertruck with three electric motors and a maximum range of over 800 km will cost $ 59,990. Autopilot - an option priced at $ 7,000.









Together with Cybertruck, Musk also introduced an ATV. During the presentation, he famously climbed into the back of a pickup truck. True, it is not yet clear whether the ATV is an option for Cybertruck, or whether it will be sold separately.









By the way, inside the Cybertruck - seats for six passengers and a touch screen with a diagonal of 17 inches.
