In terms of design, there are no round surfaces on the Tesla Cybertruck anywhere and the overall design is sharp and chiselled. It does look like pickup truck from a distant future, with a band of LED light upfront, a pointed roof and angular wheel arches. The design may not be to everyone's liking but then Elon Musk never cared about any of the regular automotive designs either. Tesla says that the body of the Cybertruck is made of ultra-hard cold-rolled stainless steel and is said to be able to withstand shots from small firearms and even a sledgehammer. However, at the time of the launch CEO Elon Musk asked the company's lead designer, Franz von Holzhausen, to throw a solid metal baseball-sized ball at the window, to demonstrating the strength of the Tesla Cybertruck's armoured glass, but surprisingly the glass broke.
The cabin gets a minimalist design with a 17-inch touchscreen tablet as the main attraction for infotainment and access to all in-car functions. The Cybertruck also gets a cargo bay which is 6.5 feet long and has a storage space of about 100 cubic feet. The vehicle has a ground clearance of 406 mm and gets adaptive air suspension and an approach and departure angle of 35 degrees and 28 degrees respectively.
