MotorTrend: Is the Cybertruck the Electric Pickup That Tesla Promised Us?

Can The Tesla Cybertruck Float?

Sure, we think the Tesla Cybertruck can float. The catch is, what next? Most vehicles can float for a time, depending on the relative water-tightness of the body and how much air is trapped inside. We have no doubt that, at least for a time, the Cybertruck is certainly capable of floating. It's the very specific claims made by Elon Musk about the Cybertruck's amphibious abilities that have us scratching our heads.

In 2022, Elon Musk suggested (on Twitter, now X) that the Cybertruck could not only float but could also float well enough to travel from South Padre Island to SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica—a distance of at least several miles, as the crow flies, with a fair bit of water in between.

The confusing part is, if the Cybertruck is weather-sealed enough to float for a several-mile journey over water, how are you going to control it when it is floating—er, sailing?

Will There Be A $40,000, NZD $65,000,Tesla Cybertruck?

We won't keep you in suspense: No. Definitely not now, likely not ever in the future. Tesla's ambitious $39,900 base single-motor pickup was always a long shot, and Musk has all but explicitly confirmed it isn't coming. The $39,900 version of the truck was dropped from the consumer website way back in 2021. Given the moving target of promises swirling about the Cybertruck, we might continue to see claims that lower-priced versions could emerge. But don't believe it until you see it. Tesla's site—now that production has actually started—shows $60,990, NZD 98,000, as the entry price, which applies to the rear-wheel-drive version due in 2025. The tri-motor examples shown at launch, which are dubbed "Cyberbeasts," carry a $99,990, NZD $161,200, price tag.

Does The Cybertruck Have Shatter-Proof Glass?

In as much as any modern vehicle with laminated safety glass has shatter-resistant windows, the Cybertruck has shatter-resistant windows. But shatter-resistant certainly doesn't mean they'd be impervious to impact, as famously demonstrated by Tesla lead designer Franz von Holzhausen. He pitched a metal ball at the side windows, twice, and both times the windows were clearly smashed.

Can The Cybertruck Go 500 Miles On A Charge?

At its reveal in 2019, Tesla promised the tri-motor Cybertruck—in top-flight three-motor trim—would achieve up to 500 miles of range, due in part to a special double-layer battery pack.
