A Look into Tesla CyberTruck

  • Published On: 1 month ago

Dubai Police has recently added the Tesla Cybertruck to their Car Fleet and everyone's wondering about the added value by this move. The Tesla Cybertruck is known for its futuristic design and cutting-edge technology - soon after its release, the Cybertruck became a symbol of innovation in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. This unconventional yet robust vehicle is packed with features that set it apart from anything else on the market. Let’s take a look into some fascinating facts about the Tesla Cybertruck.

 

Speed and Acceleration


The Tesla Cybertruck is not just about looks; it’s built for performance. One of its standout features is its incredible acceleration. The Cybertruck goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds - with "Beast Mode" activated, while maintaining impressive stability. This acceleration gives drivers the exhilarating experience of a sports car, thanks to its steer-by-wire system and rear-wheel steering, which also provides a remarkably tight turning radius. This combination of speed and handling is one of the reasons why the Dubai police added the Cybertruck to their fleet, enhancing their patrolling capabilities with a vehicle that’s as fast as it is durable.


Long-Range Capabilities


Another remarkable feature of the Tesla Cybertruck is its long-range capability. On a single charge, the Cybertruck can cover a distance of up to 540 km. Even more impressive is its supercharging capability—just 15 minutes of charging can restore up to 200 km of range. For those needing even more distance, Tesla offers a range extender that can be installed in the bed of the truck. This extender boosts the range by 28%, adding approximately 210 km, bringing the total range to an incredible 750 km. However, it's important to note that the range extender is sold and installed separately.

 


Durable Exoskeleton Body


The Tesla Cybertruck’s design is as functional as it is futuristic. Its ultra-hard stainless steel exoskeleton makes the vehicle extremely durable and aerodynamic. The exoskeleton also eliminates the need for traditional paint, as the body is unpainted, making it immune to paint chipping. The material used is so robust that it’s almost impervious to dents and corrosion, ensuring the Cybertruck remains free of body damage. In the rare event of minor damage, repairs to the exoskeleton are quick and easy.

Additionally, the Cybertruck features shatter-resistant acoustic glass, which not only protects the vehicle but also provides a quiet, serene environment inside, making for a more enjoyable driving experience. This vehicle is also equipped for off-road adventures, thanks to its adaptive air suspension system that offers a ground clearance of up to 16 inches. 


Unique Design and Functionality


One of the most talked-about aspects of the Tesla Cybertruck is its unique design. The vehicle has no conventional door handles; instead, a small button along the window triggers the door to pop open slightly when touched. This feature, along with the angular, unorthodox design, ensures the Cybertruck stands out on any road.

 

Technology and Interior


Tesla is renowned for integrating cutting-edge technology into its vehicles, and the Cybertruck is no exception. The all-electric design is a glimpse into the future of automotive technology. Like other Tesla models, the Cybertruck comes equipped with an autopilot system that takes control of the accelerator, brake, and steer-by-wire system, making daily commuting more effortless and safer.

Inside, the Cybertruck boasts a massive 18.5-inch touchscreen in the front and a 9.4-inch touchscreen in the back, both featuring a brand-new user interface. These screens are paired with a 15-speaker sound system, including two subwoofers and amplifiers, providing an immersive audio experience.

One of the lesser-known yet highly valuable features of the Tesla Cybertruck is its built-in hospital-grade HEPA filter. This filter ensures protection from 99.97% of airborne particles, offering a bioweapon defense mode that enhances safety and health inside the vehicle.


Versatile Truck Bed for All Your Needs


The Tesla Cybertruck’s bed is designed with versatility in mind, making it ideal for a wide range of uses. Whether you need to haul construction materials, camping gear, or travel essentials, the 6-foot by 4-foot bed has you covered. It can carry over 1,000 kg, and the tough composite material of the bed means there’s no need for additional rubberization or lining. Once loaded, the vault bed cover can be locked to ensure the safety of your cargo.

For those requiring additional storage, the back seats can be folded up, providing an extra 1,530 liters of space. The Cybertruck also boasts a towing capacity of approximately 5,000 kg, making it one of the most capable trucks on the market.

In addition to its impressive storage capacity, the Cybertruck’s bed is equipped with 120V and 240V outlets, allowing you to charge batteries, operate tools, or even power your home during an outage with up to 11.5KW of power. If you’re looking to extend the range of your Cybertruck, you can install the optional range extender in the bed, though it will occupy about 33% of the space.

 


Additional Accessories


Tesla offers a variety of accessories that enhance the Cybertruck’s functionality and versatility. The light bar, for example, can illuminate your path up to 480 meters, making it a great tool for off-road adventures or safely navigating in low-light conditions. 

For camping enthusiasts, Tesla sells a basecamp extension that fits easily onto the truck, accommodating two adults and assembling within minutes. The Cybertruck also comes with a minimalist L-track bottle opener that can be mounted anywhere along the bed, allowing you to enjoy a drink wherever you are.

 

Amphibious Capabilities with Wade Mode

One of the most unique features of the Tesla Cybertruck is its ability to handle water obstacles with ease. By activating Wade mode on the off-road Tesla app, drivers can explore shallow bodies of water without concern. This mode automatically adjusts the ride height to very high and pressurizes the high-voltage battery, protecting the vehicle from water and debris. This amphibious capability makes the Cybertruck a true all-terrain vehicle, ready for any adventure.
