Tesla's controversial Cybertruck challenges Ford
Just last week (Thursday, November 11 ti be exact), Tesla launched their newest vehicle yet, doing their own spin on an American classic: the pickup truck. The Cybertruck debuted at Tesla’s design studio in Los Angeles, hosted by the company’s co-founder and CEO, Elon Musk. The Cybertruck boasts some impressive numbers: a 0-100km/h time of 2.9 seconds (only 0.4 seconds slower than a Lamborghini Aventador), a range of around than 800 kilometer on a single charge, and has a payload capacity of 1,590 kilograms.

The base model Cybertruck promises a towing capacity of more than 3,400kg, while the top of the line variant doubles that towing capacity at 6,350kg.

Ford X vice president Sunny Madra addressed this by asking Musk for a Cybertruck so that Ford could do their own comparison, and Musk confidently replies “bring it on.” Tesla’s Cybertruck is probably the American company’s most controversial vehicle to date. Since its release, Tesla has already received more than 200,000 pre orders for the vehicle, with the promise to start production by late 2021.
