When the Tesla Cybertruck was first unveiled, it made waves with its unconventional design and promises of unparalleled performance. After finally getting behind the wheel of the Cyberbeast variant, I can confidently say it lives up to the hype in ways both expected and surprising.
From the moment I laid eyes on the Cyberbeast, its futuristic, angular design was undeniably striking. The stainless steel exoskeleton, which Tesla dubs the “Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel,” gives it an almost indestructible appearance. It’s a head-turner on the road, with people constantly stopping to take photos and ask questions.
The interior is a mix of minimalism and high-tech innovation. The 17-inch touchscreen control panel is the command center for everything, from navigation to climate control. The interface is intuitive, and the screen’s responsiveness is excellent.
One of my favorite features is the yoke steering wheel, which, despite initial skepticism, felt surprisingly comfortable and provided a clear view of the instrument cluster. With steer-by-wire and rear steering, patrons will get the experience of handling a sports car with a better turning radius than most sedans.
Performance-wise, the Cyberbeast is nothing short of exhilarating. With a tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup, it rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, tops off at 200 kmph. So, in short its faster than a Porsche 911. On the highway, it cruises effortlessly, and the adaptive air suspension ensures a comfortable ride even on rough terrain. Off-road, the Cyberbeast’s capabilities are equally impressive, handling steep inclines and rocky paths with ease.
One aspect that truly stood out during my time with the Cyberbeast was its range. With an estimated extended range of 705+ km on a full charge, range anxiety was a thing of the past. The acceleration is smooth and instant, a hallmark of Tesla’s electric drivetrain.
The Cyberbeast isn’t just about raw power and range, though. Tesla has equipped it with a suite of advanced safety features and Autopilot capabilities. On long highway drives, it managed lane changes, speed adjustments, and even exits with minimal input from me, making for a stress-free experience.
In terms of utility, the Cyberbeast doesn’t disappoint. The vault-like bed is spacious and secure, perfect for hauling gear or making a quick trip to grocery store. The integrated power outlets and air compressor add an extra layer of functionality for those who like to take their adventures off the beaten path.
Of course, no vehicle is perfect. The Cyberbeast’s massive size can make parking in tight spots a challenge, and the angular design might not be to everyone’s taste. Additionally, the premium price tag puts it out of reach for some potential buyers. However, for those who can afford it, the Cyberbast offers an unmatched blend of performance, utility, and futuristic style.
In conclusion, the Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast is a game-changer in the world of electric trucks. It combines Tesla’s innovative technology with rugged, practical design, making it a versatile vehicle for both everyday use and off-road adventures. Driving it felt like stepping into the future, and I can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve.
