The Cybertruck is being built at the Tesla Inc’s Gigafactory Texas facility near Austin.
Tesla says the electric pickup truck is made for ‘ultimate durability’ and ‘passenger protection’, which is probably why the Cybertruck makes use of something called Ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless-steel structural skin as well as armor glass. The stainless-steel skin is claimed to help eliminate dents, damage and long-term corrosion.
Pre-bookings for the Tesla Cybertruck are currently open for a token amount of $100. The pickup truck will be offered in three different trims, with the entry-level single-motor variant packing a RWD configuration and a range of about 402 km. The mid-range variant will be equipped with a dual-motor setup, along with an AWD system with a total range of around 483 km. The range-topping trim get three electric motors, with an all-wheel drive configuration, and a driving range of 805 km!
