Not everyone may be a fan of Tesla’s mysterious Cybertruck, but there is no doubt that the potential showcased by Cyber could bring a new future for high-performance electric trucks.
Since billionaire Elon Musk personally drove Cybertruck on stage at the end of November last year, in just a few months, this electric truck has increasingly become a hot trend among global netizens.
When some netizens questioned if it was as powerful as rumored, there were soon others who rebutted.
Regarding this issue, TT user Abelin demonstrated on X (formerly known as Twitter) how he “easily” transported 60 bags of cement (each weighing 90 pounds) to a construction site with Cybertruck. Just the cement alone weighed 5,400 pounds.
TT stands for Trinidad and Tobago, which are countries in North America.
This is double the payload capacity Tesla claimed the truck could carry, as the company’s website states it can carry an effective payload of 2,500 pounds.
Without video evidence, skeptics may argue that a truck powered by clean energy rather than conventional fuel couldn’t achieve such a feat.
In fact, this is not the only “groundbreaking” use of Cybertruck. American farmer Braden Smith transformed his Cybertruck into his handy assistant, helping with tasks on his 2,000-acre farm, from planting potatoes and wheat to powering various electric tools and transporting equipment – it’s almost indispensable.
Smith said that he initially bought Cybertruck due to the 50-amp plug in the rear, immediately thinking it could be used to power his welder and plasma cutter. Now, he no longer needs to bring a generator to the field to power tools; Cybertruck is enough.
Now, Smith drives his Cybertruck out every day. Although he didn’t buy the vehicle for “green environmental” reasons or to save on gasoline, he has indeed saved a lot of fuel, and the vehicle is fast.
Pickup trucks are one of the most popular vehicle types in the United States. Data shared by CarPro.com from iSeeCars shows that pickups account for 16.5% of the vehicles on American roads. However, they are also among the most polluting vehicle types. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data, pollution caused by light-duty vehicles (including pickups, sedans, and SUVs) accounts for 57% of the total traffic pollution in the United States.
MSN analysis suggests that if an electric pickup truck can do everything a gas-guzzling pickup truck can do, and even more, it proves that replacing dirty fuel-powered vehicles with clean, emission-free electric alternatives is feasible.
One netizen said, “Elon Musk should use this as an advertisement for Cybertruck.”
Initially, Musk positioned Cybertruck as an electric truck “built for adventure.”
