We get a rare look at a Tesla Cybertruck launching from a standstill and it looks more like a rocket than a pickup truck.
Electric vehicles, in general, and Tesla vehicles, in particular, tend to have a quick acceleration.
That’s thanks to electric motors, which can provide max rpm in a fraction of a second.
Also, it’s a factor that comes with automakers trying to achieve longer with bigger batteries that have more energy capacity but also more power capacity to send to those electric motors.
It can result in vehicles that you wouldn’t expect to be fast, to be fast, like a pickup truck.
Tesla Cybertruck should be a good example, and we get a small taste of it with this video posted by Stumby on Cybertruck Owners’ Club:
We can see the Cybertruck launch from a standstill and shoot in front of all the vehicles at this intersection.
Based on the specs that Tesla originally released about the Cybertruck, the electric pickup truck is going to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph faster than 6.5 seconds for the base version and as fast as 2.9 seconds for the top tri-motor version.
Now, we don’t know what version is this electric pickup truck release candidate, and even if we did, we expect that these specs, which were released in 2019, would be updated with the production version.
Tesla is expected to soon hold a delivery event for the Cybertruck where the production specs should be finally released.
