Tesla Cybertruck has a visual appeal that is essentially an angular depiction of a smart design. An extension of what Tesla does best, the electric pickup is unlike any other production ready vehicle that’s occupying one’s mindspace.
Cybertruck features an exterior shell designed for durability and passenger protection. Though the initial demo for it didn’t go quite as planned. A metal ball thrown by Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s chief of design shattered both windows.
Knowing Tesla, that’s not something they would leave to chance when the vehicle graces roads. So, while the armoured glass didn’t quite hold fort on the day, Cybertruck’s exoskeleton is designed to be impenetrable.
It’s a smart amalgamation of modern day components heralded for superior strength and endurance. This includes Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin and Tesla armour glass. With equal focus on the vehicle’s exterior and not just on making it look grand, the specially crafted exoskeleton does away with dents, damage or long-term corrosion. The monochrome exoskeleton also eliminates distractions of design, and effectively puts a shell on the vehicle body for max protection.
Ultra-strong glass and polymer-layered composite absorbs and redirects impact force for improved performance. It comes with the ability to raise and lower suspension four inches in either direction for easy access to Cybertruck. The vehicle’s utility comes through in its self-leveling capabilities. Cybertruck can seat six and has additional storage under the second-row seats. An advanced 17” touchscreen with an all-new customized user interface will feature.
In showcasing Tesla Cybertruck’s ability, a sledgehammer was used to beat the vehicle to reflect its bulletproof proposition. In other news, Cybertruck triumphed in a tug-of-war with a Ford F150, and a drag race with a Porsche 911.
