Watch Tesla’s Cybertruck Beat A Porsche 911 In A Drag Race...While Towing A Porsche
Tesla’s Cybertruck has seen its share of highs and lows throughout the process of its production. But the company came through in the end and finally delivered a production lineup. Not only has Tesla delivered the first production models to its customers, but it appears it has made a beast of an automobile as well. Drag race aside, the Cybertruck is capable of completing the 1/4 mile in under 11 seconds, while reaching 60mph in just 2.6 seconds.

Musk also shared a video of the Cybertruck beating an F-350 Diesel truck in a truck pull, as well as demonstrating that the doors of the truck are bulletproof to .45mm & 9mm ammunition. So, not only can an owner of an eclectic Cybertruck pull another vehicle in a get-away, it can take on fire from police while outrunning all the cop cars (not that we condone such things).
The bullet proof door, along with the rest of the truck’s body, has no paint. It is comprised of an ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskeleton that helps reduce dents, damage, and long-term erosion. Tesla says repairs to the body are quick and simple. The windows are all shatter-resistant armor glass that can resist the impact of a baseball traveling at 70mph, or class 4 hail. All of this makes for one solid truck.
Not everyone is impressed, though. Marques Brownlee called out Tesla and its Cybertruck on X/Twitter for it being "notably the first time that Tesla is straight up not delivering om some of the key specs they promised."
For anyone who was unable to get in on the first delivery earlier today, they can still reserve their own Cybertruck on Tesla’s website. The base model is rear-wheel drive with a 250 mile estimated range and can achieve 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. Those wanting the quick get away speeds with a top speed of 130mph, however, will have to ante up an estimated $96,390. The base model will begin delivery in 2025, while the high-end model will begin shipping out next year. There is a mid-range model available for $68,890 that will also begin shipping out in 2024.
