On the towing front, Musk estimates the truck will be capable of towing 14,000 pounds.

The biggest, baddest planned Cybertruck, the Tri-Motor, was scheduled for late 2022.

He was mostly just shaken up. Musk claims the Cybertruck will reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds before continuing through the quarter-mile marker in under 11 seconds. Recall, Tesla originally said the least expensive models with the Single Motor option would go into production first in late 2021, followed by the Dual-Motor Cybertruck also in late 2021.

Yet, at the same time, its off-road numbers are commendable, offering a 35-degree approach angle, a 28-degree departure angle and up to 16 inches of ground clearance. Tesla boasts that, unlike a regular internal combustion engine, the motor in the all-electric Model S features only one moving part.

According to Tesla’s preorder site for the Cybertruck, the more powerful models will now take priority when production is scheduled to start.

This Powertrain motor sits between the rear wheels of the car, providing “instantaneous” acceleration (the Model S can accelerate to 100 kilometres-per-hour in 5.6 seconds) that is “like flipping a switch”.
