Inspiration and styling
According to Musk, the design of the Cybertruck was inspired by Blade Runner and "Wet Nellie", the Lotus Esprit driven by James Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me, which doubled as a submarine.[59] Like most vehicles, the Cybertruck can float for short periods of time.[60]
In a Musk biography by Walter Isaacson, Musk's son Saxon was quoted as asking, "Why doesn't the future look like the future?", which Musk used as an inspiration for the design[61] and repeated during the delivery event.[52][62] Lars Moravy confirmed Musk's involvement: "Elon threw in that it had to drive like a sports car but have all the utility of a pick-up truck... basically, we were sweating bullets". Franz von Holzhausen stated the design process "started [by] unpacking existing pick-up trucks and realis[ing] that the market hasn't changed at all. [...] Like Gandini, we wanted to do something dramatic that changed everything. I had this simple idea right in the beginning: this exoskeleton idea, a low-resolution-looking type of truck. And out of that side project, we made a full-size clay model to show Elon. And he's like, 'that's what we're doing.'"[2]
Frank Stephenson was critical, calling the design "almost repulsive" but tempered his criticism by noting it "has the potential to be extremely beautiful" by softening the hard lines.[63] Automotive designer Adrian Clarke was more unsparing: "The Cybertruck is a low polygon joke that only exists in the fever dreams of Tesla fans that stands high on the smell of Elon Musk's flatulences."[64] Giorgetto Giugiaro, credited with originating the "origami" car design trend with the Lotus Esprit, BMW M1, and DMC DeLorean, stated in 2023 that "when you step outside the norms, it's almost always seen as a provocation [...] the Cybertruck will surely be successful [...] I'm convinced it will find its admirers".[65]
The 300-series stainless-steel panels have a thickness of 1.8 and 1.4 mm (0.071 and 0.055 in) for the doors and body, respectively, according to a factory tour video.[66] These panels cannot be stamped like conventional automobile parts, but instead are laser-cut and then bent along straight lines.[67][verification needed] According to Tesla's VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy, Tesla had to invent a manufacturing process called "air bending" which shapes the steel with high air pressure without actually touching the surface.[68] The Cybertruck's stainless steel finish is prone to rust spots and requires special care such as avoiding washing the vehicle in direct sunlight.[69][70]
In 2019, it was reportedly going to use a stainless-steel alloy developed by Tesla[71] in partnership with Aperam.[67]
Tesla stated that they use a platform approach to the powertrain components—using only a single permanent magnet motor rotor/stator design, a single induction motor rotor/stator design, a single motor inverter design, and a single gear set design—for all three configurations of Cybertruck—tri-motor all-wheel drive (AWD), dual-motor AWD, and single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD)—delivering a range of power from 845 hp (630 kW) on the tri-motor down to 315 hp (235 kW) in the single-motor version. All powertrain components for both motor types are housed in a liquid-cooled integrated subassembly that includes the rotor/stator, inverter and the 15:1-ratio gear set.[72]
The dual-motor AWD version uses an induction motor on the front axle with a maximum output of 303 hp (226 kW) and a permanent magnet motor on the rear axle with a maximum output of 297 hp (221 kW) for a total power output of 600 hp (450 kW).[73] The tri-motor AWD version—"Cyberbeast"—swaps motor locations (PM to front axle, IM to rear axle) and adds a second induction motor on the rear axle, offering a maximum combined output of 845 hp (630 kW) in Beast Mode,[74] split as 276 hp (206 kW) for the front motor and 284 hp (212 kW) for each rear motor.[73] A rear-wheel drive version, announced for delayed production not before 2025, will be equipped with the single permanent magnet motor on the rear axle.[72]
In late 2021, Tesla contemplated adding a quad-motor option, but it was not offered when the production vehicles were brought to market in late 2023.[75]
Bidirectional Charging (V2X / BPT)
Dilengkapi fitur autopilot
Seperti mobil listrik karya Tesla lainnya, Cybertruck sudah pasti juga dilengkapi dengan fitur andalan yakni fitur autopilot. Cybertruck menghadirkan fitur mengemudi semi-otonom sebagai standar utamanya.Walaupun begitu, fitur autopilot Cybertruck juga membuka akses ke fitur-fitur bantuan pengemudi lainnya seperti navigasi jalur otomatis, Autoparking atau parkir automatis, fitur Smart Summon yang dapat memanggil mobil secara otomatis dari tempat parkirnya, serta fitur traffic and stop sign control yang dapat membuat Cybertruck menaati rambu dan lampu lalu lintas secara otomatis.Namun, pengemudi Cybertruck tetap harus memegang kemudi setiap saat dan menjaga perhatian penuh dalam mengemudikan Cybertruck walaupun fitur autopilot ini dinyalakan.
Desainnya unik dan futuristik
Hal terunik yang dimiliki oleh Cybertruck tentunya adalah bentuk desainnya. Cybertruck didesain tidak seperti mobil pick-up double cabin pada umumnya, desain futuristik menjadi karakteristik utama pada bentuk Cybertruck.
Badan luar Cybertruck dibuat dengan bentuk Exoskelenton yang diklaim memiliki kekuatan dan daya tahan yang unggul. Lapisan luarnya pun dirancang dengan baja tahan karat Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled, bahan yang juga digunakan untuk pesawat luar angkasa SpaceX Starship.Elon Musk sebagai CEO Tesla, mengaku bahwa desain Cybertruck terinspirasi oleh mobil Lotus Esprit yang merangkap sebagai kapal selam, yang mana mobil itu dikendarai James Bond di dalam film The Spy Who Loved Me. Hal tersebut tentu menambah keunikan yang dimiki Cybertruck bukan?
Fitur keamanan berlimpah
Disamping fitur dan desain Cybertruck yang keren, mobil tersebut juga dilengkapi dengan kenyamanan dan keamanan untuk sopir serta penumpang Cybertruck. Seperti yang telah kita ketahui di poin sebelumnya bahwa badan luar Cybertruck dibuat dari bahan baja tahan karat Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled, yang mana badan luar Cybertruck tersebut hampir tidak dapat ditembus oleh benda apapun termasuk peluru.Kaca Cybertruck juga dibuat sebagai kaca ultra-kuat dari bahan polymer yang dapat menyerap serta mengarahkan gaya benturan untuk mengurangi kerusakan, walaupun pada saat demonstrasi pertama Cybertruck pada 21 November 2019 kaca berhasil pecah namun tidak berhasil tertembus.Dari sisi kenyamanan, Cybertruck dilengkapi tempat duduk yang dapat menampung 6 orang. Kursi belakang bagian tengah juga dapat dilipat kebawah sehingga dapat menungkinkan untuk mengisi bawaan yang lebih banyak. Dasboard Cybertruck juga berbentuk seperti marmer yang terlihat sangat keren, disitu juga terdapat layar tengah 17 inci.Nah, itu beberapa fitur yang dimiliki oleh Cybertruck. Jadi bagaimana nih?

goodmoneyID – Diperkenalkan dengan sebutan Cybertruck, Tesla akhirnya mencungkil paruh runcingnya melalui truk atau mobil pickup listrik, sosok truk masa depan. Truk Tesla memiliki rombakan desain cukup banyak dari sosok truk biasanya, dimana ia mengadaptasi inovasi dan teknologi masa kini. Desain Tesla Cybertruck ini lebih mirip mobil robot dan mirip dengan UFO.
“Pickup Tesla disebut “Cybertruck.” Nama Cybertruck secara literal memiliki arti yang sama dengan Tesla Roadster. Ini adalah truk dengan pengaruh cybernetic yang berat, polos dan sederhana,” dilansir dari motortrend.com
Ini dia 8 Fitur yang ada pada Tesla Cybertruck
Jika dilihat Tesla Cybertruck ini berwana silver, namun sebenarnya itu bukan warna, melainkan bahan aslinya dari baja stainless yang tidak dicat.Truck masa depan ini diklaim anti karat.
Tidak lazim dikatakan sebagai truk jika tidak memiliki bak belakang. Tesla Cybertruck memiliki bak yang luar biasa. Tesla menyebutnya lemari besi. Bak Tesla Cybertruck sama sekali tidak memiliki celah dan menggunakan bahan besi stainless steel yang memiliki panjang kira kira 6,5 kaki. Baknya dapat menggulirkan papan dari atas yang memungkinkan kendaraan beroda dapat naik dengan mulus ke atap bak.
Franz von Holzhausen selaku orang yang mendesain tampilan Testa Cybertruck mengklaim bahwa Cybertruck ini memiliki kaca anti peluru, yang disebutnya sebagai armor glass. Ia juga menyebutkan tesla Cybertruck mampu menempuh jarak maksimum lebih dari 500 mil. Hal ini memudahkan pengemudi untuk tidak khawatir jika kehabisan baterai, mengingat ketahanan baterai truk ini yang luar biasa. Franz menyebut akan terus meningkatkan kapasitas baterasi agar Cybertruck dapat menjangkau populasi truk elektrik di seluruh dunia.
Mengadopsi teknologi LED mono-headlight yang membentang lebar dari ujung depan truk, di atas kaca depan, terdapat lampu tambahan yang menjalar panjang. Sehingga Tidak perlu lagi memodifikasi Cybertruck layaknya memberi lampu tambahan pada mobil Jeep. Kombinasi lampu dan bar lampu depan itu sangat manis dan sempurna.
Tesla Cybertruck memiliki jumlah tempat duduk sebanyak 6 kursi. Dengan 2 kursi didepan, dan ada ruang untuk seluruh kru dibelakang, berkat kapasitas enam kursi yang diciptakan dapat pula difungsikan sebagai tempat tidur, dimana kursi depan bisa di bentangkan ke belakang membentuk kasur lipat.
Tesla Cybertruck memiliki system kerja dengan layar sentuh, hal ini menjadi pusat perhatian yang terlihat dari interiornya. Pihaknya menjelaskan Cybertruck memiliki layar sentuh untuk menjalankan kontrol baik mengendarai maupun mengiprasikan fitur lainya. Semua terkontrol dengan system layar sentuh.
Ini pertanyaannya, bisakah truk Tesla mengangkut beban banyak? Jawabannya adalah ya, Klaim Tesla mengungkapkan Cybertruck bisa dipercaya mampu menarik hingga 7.500 pound. Ke depan bahkan ditargetkan dapat membawa muatan sebanyak 13.500 pound.
Sosok truk modern ini mampu melesat dengan kecepatan dari nol hingga 60 mph dalam 6,5 detik. Sistem listrik menghasilkan torsi yang kuat pada dasarnya dari nol rpm, tidak seperti mesin pembakaran internal, yang biasanya perlu sedikit melambat sebelum membuat tenaga yang signifikan. Tesla juga mengalirkan satu ton tenaga ke motor listriknya, memprioritaskan percepatan yang mudah dan gepar, serta efisiensi dan jangkauan mengemudi.

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H)
Mid-voltage electrical system
The Cybertruck uses a 48-volt electrical system; this 48 V DC is fed to electric-powered components including steering actuators, oil pumps at the drive units, window regulator motors, wiper motor,[93]: 18:02 accessory power feed to the frunk (400W)[94] and to the roof (400W),[94] three domain controller ECUs, the touchscreen [95][non-primary source needed] and a 48-volt lithium-ion battery.[96][non-primary source needed]
The Cybertruck has five seats,[80] two in the front and a three-seat bench in the back row.[2] The vehicle has an 18.5 in (47 cm) touch-screen display in the front for most of the climate, media, and vehicle controls.[80][2] The vehicle also contains a 9.4 in (24 cm) touch-screen for the rear seat passengers.[80][2] The steering wheel is in the shape of a "squircle" (combination of a square and a circle), with a flat top and bottom, and round sides.[74]
The cargo bed is 72 in (1,800 mm) long and 48 in (1,200 mm) wide. It has a motorized roller shutter style tonneau cover enclosing a storage area of 67 cu ft (1.9 m3).[97][98] The cargo bed has sloped side walls.[99][better source needed]
When the tonneau cover is closed, the rear window is blocked, rendering a traditional rear-view mirror, which is not present, useless.[100][101] To aid visibility when reversing and towing, the feed from rear-facing cameras is displayed on the main touchscreen.[100][101][80]
The bed area is illuminated with LED light strips along each side, contains a storage area below the main cargo deck behind the rear wheels, and has 120 and 240 V AC power outlets.[102]
The Cybertruck uses a central, bi-directional gigabit Etherloop network with CAN bus satellite networks to operate vehicle systems. The result is that data travels over the same network, as opposed to traditional CAN bus systems which require individual connections, reducing the amount of wiring in the vehicle. Audio travels over the same network. For comparison, while the number of endpoints increased 50% over the Model 3, the amount of cross-vehicle wiring was reduced by two-thirds.[72]
Its post-apocalyptic dystopian marketing has been described as a reflection of perceived societal decay within America.[103][104] The Cybertruck's stainless steel finish is prone to surface contamination that looks like rust,[105] and requires special care such as avoiding washing the vehicle in direct sunlight and drying after rain.[69][70][106][107]
The Cybertruck has been criticized for its poor build quality, malfunctions, and price hikes following reservations.[108][109][110] However, in 2024, Car and Driver magazine gave the Cybertruck a score of 8.5 out of 10, saying that "The buzz-worthy Cybertruck leads with show-pony party tricks and high-tech features, but it's also a capable workhorse with a practical side."[111]
As of June 2024[update], 11,688 Cybertrucks had been sold,[112] making it the best-selling EV pickup truck in the United States by the first half of 2024.[113] Tesla still has a backlog of 2 million Cybertruck reservations made by December 2023.[114]
In the first year after its release, the Cybertruck had twenty one complaints and six separate recalls, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):[115][116]
The vehicle has not been crash tested by the NHTSA or by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).[117] [118]
The Cybertruck's angular design and stiff stainless-steel exterior raised concerns among safety experts that it could hurt pedestrians and cyclists and damage other vehicles on roads.[119][120] Particular concerns were raised about the high stiffness of the "exoskeleton" exterior, potentially reducing crumple zones. The tall, flat front of the truck may increase the severity of pedestrian leg injuries.[119][121] Vehicle design experts speculated that it would fail to pass safety testing in various countries, including Australia, due to the risk it poses to both occupants and people outside of the vehicle, especially pedestrians.[122][123] Tesla defended the design, saying that the structures of the Cybertruck would absorb an impact during a crash,[119] and pointing out that it passed a U.S. regulatory review.[119]
On April 17, 2024, the NHTSA announced that Tesla had recalled all 3,878 Cybertrucks sold as of that date to fix an accelerator pedal pad that could come loose and get lodged in the interior trim, causing the car to unintentionally accelerate.[124][125][126] In June 2024, Tesla delayed deliveries of the Cybertruck due to windshield wiper motor failures.[127] Later that month, another recall addressed loose trim pieces that can fall off, causing danger to other motorists or pedestrians.[128]
On August 5, 2024, the Texas Department of Public Safety reported that a Cybertruck had collided with a concrete culvert causing the vehicle to lose control and crash. The vehicle was then engulfed in flames, killing the driver. The crash happened near the intersection of Fisher Road and West Cedar Parkway in Baytown, Texas, marking the first recorded fatal car accident of the Cybertruck. As of September 2024[update], the cause of the crash was unknown.[129][130]
In July 2024, the Cybertruck was added to Fortnite and Rocket League.[131] Fortnite users quickly pledged on social media to target in-game anyone who used the virtual truck.[132]
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L)
Range, battery, and charging
Dual motor all-wheel drive is specified with an estimated range of 340 mi (550 km), while Cyberbeast models have a range of 320 mi (510 km).[81] A rear wheel drive model, slated to begin production in 2025, has a range of 250 mi (400 km).[74]
The Cybertruck has an 816 V nominal, 150 Ah[73][84] structural battery pack with a maximum capacity of 123 kWh.[2] The pack serves as a structural member and is composed of 4680 lithium-ion battery cells; with a stated energy density of 170 Wh/kg for the entire pack, the overall battery pack weight is approximately 1,590 lb (720 kg).[73]
The battery is claimed to charge at a maximum rate of 350 kW at charging stations capable of supplying 800 V DC power.[2] Tesla claims that up to 128 or 136 mi (206 or 219 km) (tri-motor or dual-motor versions, respectively) of range can be added in 15 minutes of charging at 400 V DC.[85] The onboard charger can accept AC power at a maximum rate of 11.5 kW at 240 V, 48 A.[1] The 800 V split-pack battery is composed of two smaller 400 V batteries; contactors connect them in parallel for backwards compatibility with existing 400V DC charging infrastructure.[86] The service menu shows the current state of "Series" or "Parallel" (High Voltage/Charging).[87]
The dual-motor and tri-motor configurations can be ordered with a "range extender" option, which adds a 50 kWh battery to the vehicle. The battery occupies approximately 1⁄3 of the bed and increases range by 120–130 mi (190–210 km).[81] It is intended for long trips or towing heavy loads up mountains.[88]
The Cybertruck offers up to 9.6 kW of vehicle-to-load (V2L) continuous AC power through five outlets:[89]
In addition, the Cybertruck also supports up to 11.5 kW AC output for vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging.[90][91] A Tesla Wall Connector and either a Tesla Gateway or Powerwall are required to enable bidirectional loads to a home.[92]
Powershare in the Cybertruck does not directly support vehicle-to-grid (V2G) supply due to regulations for feeding power to the grid.[93]: 42:42
A 'wade' mode allows the vehicle to cross water up to 2.5 feet (0.76 m) deep. It uses scuba pack to create positive pressure inside the battery to keep water from entering.[83]
