The Morning After: Tesla’s angular Cybertruck is electric, fast and $40k

Yes, it really looks like that.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

This week is going out with a bang after we took a ride in Tesla’s new truck, got our first peek at Valve’s Half-Life: Alyx VR game and reviewed Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro.


That certainly looks… unique.Tesla’s electric Cybertruck launches in 2021, prices start at just under $40k

Elon Musk said that Tesla’s angular Cybertruck will do zero to 60 in about 2.9 seconds and tow up to 14,000 pounds. In demo videos, Musk showed it besting an F-150 in a tug of war and beating a Porsche 911 off the line. There was also an awkward moment testing its Armor Glass when it unexpectedly broke after a tester threw a metal ball at the window. Twice.

According to Roberto Baldwin, this early prototype — lacking mirrors, blinkers, windshield wipers and US-legal headlights — has plenty of room in its backseat, a very truck-like ride and all of the superpowered Tesla acceleration you’d expect.

The starting price for this electric truck is $39,900, and Tesla is taking pre-orders now with just $100 down. The sub-$40k model comes with RWD, a single motor and has the EPA-estimated 250+ miles of range, and a dual-motor AWD option ups the range to 300+ for an extra $10,000, and adding yet another $10k gets you a tri-motor AWD Cybertruck with the max towing capacity and range. What we don’t have a price for, though, is Tesla’s matching electric ATV.
