4 Wheel Steering

Large trucks usually do not corner or turn well. They trend towards having large turning radiuses.

Cybertruck is attempting to buck the trend by incorporating 4 wheel steering allowing it to corner and be nimble the way a far smaller vehicle would.

34.6 Inch Tires with 17.5 inches of maximum clearance

Cybertruck's tires are nearly 2 inches larger in diameter than rivian R1T or ford's f-150 lightning.

While Rivian R1T's maximum 13.5 inches of clearance might be better suited for offroad trail blazing than the F-150's 8.4 inches.

Both appear to fall short against the cybertruck's 17.5 inches of clearance.

Fastest Production Pick Up Truck In History

Cybertruck comes in three different models: rear wheel drive (RWD), all wheel drive (AWD) and cyberbeast.

Cyberbeast achieves 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 second. AWD in 4.1 seconds, RWD 6.5 seconds.

Rivian R1T does 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds.

Ford F-150 lighting 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.

While the cybertruck's tires are safety rated within a span of 112 to 130 miles per hour depending on the model

Rivian and Ford 150 lightning are safety rated only up to 112 mph.

First Tesla EV with fly by wire controls

While we have no current mention of built in redundancies for safety purposes.

Fly by wire allows for greater flexibility and adjustibility of controls. As well as improved electronic guidance capability.

World's largest windshield wiper

The wiper blade is 50 inches in length. 10 inches bigger than the largest available on autozone. Tesla engineers claim it uses a whopping 600 to 800 watts of power (approximately 1 horsepower) .

Bulletproof Martensitic Stainless Steel Skin

The steel skin of the cybertruck is hardened using a martensitic process to enable it to stop .45 caliber rounds.

No Rear View Mirror

Rear facing cameras appear to be the main option. Considering the rear view window in the back of the passenger cabin is small and offers poor visibility.
