The Future of Electric Trucks

In 2019 Tesla debuted the Cybertruck pickup truck as its effort to bring electric power to a utilitarian platform historically dominated by gasoline-powered vehicles. Its distinctive stainless steel unibody—referred to as its “Exoskeleton”—makes it more robust than conventional body-on-frame designs by putting the toughest elements on the outside. The truck is designed to distribute its weight through bodywork rather than a separate frame. As stainless steel panels cannot be traditionally formed, each panel must be press bent in one direction. This prototype was the first Cybertruck revealed to the public.

Designed to resemble the futuristic vehicles in the science-fiction film Blade Runner (1982) and James Bond’s aquatic Lotus Esprit in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), the Cybertruck is Tesla’s first pickup truck model. The Cybertruck combines utility with performance, featuring an all- wheel drive electric powertrain and a durable exterior made of stainless steel and Tesla armor glass. The truck’s bed, or “vault,” is engineered with 100 cubic feet of lockable storage space and has an innovative automatic tonneau cover.
