The body is made from a sledgehammer resistant &#8220;Ultra-Hard 30x Cold-Rolled Steel&#8221;. The window glass is also intended to be shatter and impact resistant as evidenced by a few ball-drop demonstrations. Somewhat embarrassingly, a short range throw of a small steel ball like that used in the drop test broke the supposedly shatterproof glass in the vehicle shown.<a href=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/22\/tesla-cybertruck-revealed\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8756\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8756\" src=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"378\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/22\/tesla-cybertruck-revealed\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8755\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8755\" src=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a>The cargo section is big enough to house an electric ATV, also shown during the launch, and has a payload capacity of up to 3,500 pounds or 1,587 kilos. There is 6.5 feet of length in the bay and there are extendable ramps and a charging point built in. An estimated 100 cubic feet of storage space is available inside the sci-fi looking wedge shape. There is also room for six adults and a 17 inch touchscreen to access the vehicle&#8217;s main controls.<a href=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/22\/tesla-cybertruck-revealed\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8754\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8754\" src=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a>The ramp that allows cargo access showed the flexibility of the suspension with up to four inches of travel. The drivetrain will be a rear mounted engine, front and rear, and a triple motor configuration. The exterior is striking, to say the least, with a distinctive wedge shape and eye-catching LED strips front and rear. And in an alloy sheen reminiscent of a De Lorean, it should be an all-weather capable vehicle.<br \/>\nPricing is slated to start at around $40,000USD.<a href=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/22\/tesla-cybertruck-revealed\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck1-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8766\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8766\" src=\"https:\/\/awheelthing.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/screenshot_2019-11-22-cybertruck1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/bistrodengi-zaymi-online-nalichnymi.html\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/bistrodengi-zaymi-online-nalichnymi.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mid afternoon Friday 22nd November (Sydney time) and Tesla has unveiled a surprise.
