Tesla’s record-shattering electric hypertruck is fast, fun, and deeply flawed.

on a drag strip, and it’s going to lose. Doesn’t matter if the Tesla’s foe has a massive forced-induction engine or a trick multi-motor electric powertrain—the so-called Cyberbeast will beat it.Yes, the Cyberbeast is the quickest truck of all time, by considerable margins. It’s so rapid it doesn’t only dominate every other truck, but speeds away from some iconic supercars. Don't think that’s all there is to it, though—intense acceleration is only part of the Cyberbeast’s absurdity.

Other test results likewise impress, though not to the same indomitable extent. A 60-0 mph stopping distance of 126 feet is good considering its all-terrain tires, tying ashod in pavement-oriented all-season tires halted in 117 feet. Furthermore, this number doesn’t illustrate how the Cyberbeast’s brakes feel. Tesla's motor regen effect is so strong it’s often not necessary to use the friction brakes.

He wasn’t done. “As I said about the dual-motor Cybertruck, this thing feels like it had zero development drivers behind the wheel. It’s a rolling Excel spreadsheet, not a true, vetted consumer product.” Coming from a guy who’s tested thousands of vehicles, that judgment cuts like the bare metal body’s unhemmed edges.

The Cybertruck’s shape also inherently compromises its functionality. This isn’t to suggest that usefulness must always supersede style, but it’s rare to encounter a vehicle that so forcefully defies common sense. The rearview mirror is the size of a candy bar, and it becomes entirely useless when the metal tonneau cover is closed, as is necessary to extend driving range. Those triangular side mirrors work about as well as you’d think.
