Tesla’s futuristic metal-clad Cybertruck was first unveiled all the way back in 2019 with the famous electric car firm promising that its polarising pickup truck would be almost indestructible. This mega machine, which is covered in tough stainless steel and armoured glass, has since gone on sale in the US with those brave enough to buy it able to race from 0-62mph in under three seconds – that’s as fast as Ferrari SF90 Spider.
As well as being very big and very fast, the Cybertruck is remarkably practical. It features a battery range of over 300 miles, can tow a weight of almost 5,000Kg (the same as an elephant) and be driven through some of the world’s toughest terrain without fear of it getting stuck. Although Tesla won’t yet confirm a UK release date for its Cybertruck it is giving fans the chance to see it in the flesh for the first time and it’s definitely a lot like Marmite.
I had the chance to get up close and personal with this trailblazing truck and it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The bold and chiselled design makes this motor both gorgeous and ghastly in equal measure. You’re either going to love those sharp exposed metal edges (there’s no sparkling paint job in sight) or think it’s one of the ugliest things you’ve ever seen racing along the motorway.
There’s no doubt that the Cybertruck is an absolute beast that bosses the road. Giant tyres, angular wheel arches, dominating front grille and lights plus a monstrous boot space – that’s easily big enough to lie down in – make this a motor that means business.
There’s space inside for five with occupants treated to a stunning panoramic glass roof, iPad-style screens (18.5-inch the front and 9.4-inch in the back) and plush seats that are extremely comfy to sit in.
Everything about the Cybertruck feels like it’s been made for a Mad Max movie and that’s what makes it so unique.
It’s one of those things that simply has to be seen to be believed and despite that UK launch still being under wraps, you’ll soon get the chance to see this pickup truck for real.
Tesla has confirmed that the Cybertuck is going on an “Odyssey” tour of the UK with it visiting areas including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, London and Birmingham over the coming weeks.
