About
As of 2026, it's 3 years old.
The Cybertruck looks like it was designed by someone who had pickup trucks described to them over the phone, and that is exactly why it's unforgettable. Unveiled in 2019 with a now-infamous 'unbreakable' window demo that promptly shattered on stage, it became the most polarizing vehicle of its decade before a single one was sold.
It is a stainless-steel wedge with no paint, a bulletproof-ish 'exoskeleton' body so stiff Tesla compared it to a supercar, and styling angular enough to qualify as origami. People either love it or treat it as a personal affront, and there is almost no one in between.
Under the absurd skin is a genuinely fast truck: the tri-motor 'Cyberbeast' rips to 60 in the low-2-second range, which is preposterous for something this size and shape. It also packs party tricks like a steer-by-wire system and an onboard power supply that can run a job site.
Whether you see it as the future or a rolling meme, the Cybertruck did what Tesla wanted: it made a pickup truck the single most talked-about vehicle on the planet. Love it or loathe it, you cannot ignore it.
