1 Simple Change Could Make Tesla’s Cybertruck More Appealing to the Masses

When Tesla’s Cybertruck was unveiled, its iconoclastic looks had more than a few people believing it would revolutionize the pickup truck world. Others speculated that it was a futuristic drawing rendered in MS Paint made real and other even less flattering things. Either way, the stainless steel pickup has the kind of extreme styling never seen on a …

Are These Electric Truck Features Actually Useful, or Just Gimmicks?

It’s easy, with how today’s media consumption, for an automaker to market any feature as something ground-breaking. Especially with electric pickup trucks, a segment where manufacturers need to differentiate themselves. Some, like Bollinger, let the truck’s capability and design do the talking. Others, such as Tesla, can sometimes lean on sensationalist methods. Is setting up …

Supercapacitors May Revolutionize the Electric Truck, but Are They Ready for Production?

Electric pickup trucks like the Telsa Cybertruck, Bollinger B2, and Rivian R1T are just around the corner. But while they may be almost production-ready, potential buyers may hesitate over range and recharge time. Especially when towing gets involved. Hydrogen technology could help, but it comes with its own problems. However, there may be a different …

Does the Latest Tesla Model 3 Performance Update Preview a Faster Cybertruck?

Although Tesla’s over-the-air updates have occasionally caused problems, they’ve also been a fundamental benefit for the EV manufacturer. Where updating something like a Ford F-150 can take months or years just to plan, Tesla can implement changes essentially overnight. And some of these changes can be dramatic. The already-quick Model 3 recently received a free …

Tesla vs. Ford: The Towing Tug-Of-War Rematch (Kinda)

With Tesla’s recent letter, it’s likely the Cybertruck won’t actually compete with the Ford F-150. Instead, it will most likely compete with medium-duty trucks like the Ford F-250. Which makes Tesla’s highly-publicized Cybertruck-F150 tug-of-war video rather moot. It also raises some more questions. Considering what Tesla may have had to do for that video, what …

Tesla Cybertruck Won’t Actually Compete With the F-150

Although the cheapest Tesla Cybertruck is getting delayed, Tesla as a whole is still moving forward with Cybertruck production. The automaker is also moving forward with something else. Although Tesla rather pointedly set its truck against the Ford F-150 in an automotive tug-of-war, it turns out that the Cybertruck won’t, in fact, compete directly with …

Cybertruck Towing Issues Are an EV Problem, Not a Tesla Problem

Electric pickups aren’t competing with ICE pickups solely on range, but on towing, too. Tesla appeared to demonstrate that there’s nothing to worry about when the Cybertruck towed that F-150 uphill. There’s also an electric F-150 out with a towing capacity of 18,000 lbs. However, although Tesla claims the tri-motor Cybertruck will tow up to …

Before the Tesla Cybertruck, there was another Tesla electric pickup truck: the Truckla. YouTuber and creator Simone Giertz wanted an electric pickup, but the Cybertruck wasn’t out yet. So, she took a Model 3 and turned it into a truck. But now the uniquely-designed Cybertruck has officially been unveiled, although production won’t start until late …

The Back-And-Forth About the Tesla-Ford Towing Tug-of-War

Pickup trucks are built to tow, and the electric Tesla Cybertruck pickup is no different. In tri-motor AWD form, Tesla claims the Cybertruck will be able to tow up to 14,000 pounds. That’s actually more than the Ford F-150; its max is 13,200 lbs. But numbers on a screen aren’t the same as actually hauling …
