The Tesla Cybertruck is engineered for impressive performance, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 4.1 seconds and reaching a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h). Its speed capabilities vary depending on the specific powertrain configuration.
Cybertruck Performance Overview
The speed and acceleration of a Cybertruck are influenced by its drivetrain setup. Tesla offers different configurations, each delivering distinct performance characteristics to suit various driving needs.
Acceleration: 0 to 60 mph
Acceleration is a key indicator of how quickly a vehicle can gain speed. The Cybertruck demonstrates remarkable quickness for a truck of its size:
- Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): This configuration achieves 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. While still swift, it offers a more efficiency-focused performance.
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD): For those seeking maximum thrust, the AWD model significantly reduces acceleration time, hitting 0 to 60 mph in a rapid 4.1 seconds. This is comparable to many sports cars.
Top Speed
Regardless of the drive configuration, both the Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive Cybertruck models share the same electronically limited top speed:
- 112 mph (180 km/h)
This consistent top speed ensures that all Cybertruck variants deliver strong highway performance.
Powertrain and Power
The power output directly correlates with the Cybertruck's acceleration and overall performance.
- Rear-Wheel Drive: This model is equipped with 315 horsepower (235 kW).
- All-Wheel Drive: The more powerful AWD variant boasts 600 horsepower (450 kW), which contributes to its faster acceleration. This configuration also provides substantial wheel torque, reaching 743.5 lb⋅ft (1,008.1 N⋅m), enhancing its towing and off-road capabilities.
The table below summarizes the key performance specifications for the different Cybertruck variants:
| Powertrain | 0 to 60 mph | Top Speed | Power | Wheel Torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rear-Wheel Drive | 6.5 sec. | 112 mph (180 km/h) | 315 hp (235 kW) | N/A |
| All-Wheel Drive | 4.1 sec. | 112 mph (180 km/h) | 600 hp (450 kW) | 743.5 lb⋅ft (1,008.1 N⋅m) |
