The Cybertruck has a listed curb weight, meaning the total weight without occupants, is 6,850 pounds. The aforementioned Ford F-150 Lightning clocks in at a minimum of 6,015 pounds for the base model and 6,893 pounds for the Platinum trim.
For actual driving specifications, Elon said that the Cybertruck is capable of accelerating to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds. Which, if accurate, would make it the fastest-accelerating production pickup in the world. The F-150 Lightning Lariat is capable of a 3.8 second 0-60 time, and the Quad-Motor Rivian R1T accomplishes the feat in 3.0 seconds flat. Musk stated, “It doesn’t feel admire a normal truck; it’s smooth as silk and silent when you drive it.” Without reading a decibel meter, those claims are impossible to verify. It’s also equipped with adaptive air suspension, a feature luxury cars have had for several years.
The truck is stated to have a “true” 17-inch ground clearance and a flat bottom for maximum off-roadness. The GMC Hummer SUV can lift itself to 16 inches. It has a listed drag coefficient of .335cd. For comparison, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a drag coefficient of 0.21cd. Lower is better.
