Welcome to the Cybertruck delivery event. So, I'm gonna do it from the back of the truck here. Hey, hey! So once in a while, once in a long while, a product comes along that is rare, that is... Once every 5-10 years, something really special, a really unusual product comes along. And we'll remember those special moments when, indeed. Special moments. So, but these things are rare. It's very rare that a product comes along that is seemingly impossible, that people said was impossible, that experts said was impossible, and this is one of those times.
We have a car here that experts said was impossible, that experts said would never be made, that really is the most... I think it's our best product. I think it's the most unique thing on the road, and finally, the future will look like the future. So what we're aiming for here is something that's more truck than truck.
Okay. Thanks, bro. That's literally my brother there. So, what we have here is something that is a better truck than a truck, while also being a better sports car than a sports car in the same package. So first of all, let's you know, they talk about how, you know, trucks are tough. That's one of the defining characteristics of a truck. So how tough is this truck? Let's find out. So we actually had to come up with a special, ultra-strong, Tesla-designed steel alloy. So this alloy, this metal did not exist before. We needed something that you could actually manufacture, but that would have basically no corrosion, that didn't need paint, but you can still make it in volume. And part of the reason that it has this angular shape is you can't actually stamp these body panels. The body panels would break the stamping machine. So...
Oh, and I should say also, because of the steel exoskeleton, it actually has more torsional rigidity than a sports car. It has more torsional stiffness than a McLaren P1. So it's, that's very, that's a big deal. Now, you may remember an incident four years ago. Didn't quite go as planned. And, Franz, maybe we should try it again.
Great. I mean, I think you could, we could probably have a pro pitcher, lob it at it, still work. So anyway, the glass is tough, basically is what we're saying. So, you don't have to worry about, like, rocks hitting the glass and cracking the glass. This glass is basically rock-proof. It's also makes the car very quiet. So it's the thing that you'll appreciate when you drive the car is how smooth and quiet it is. It does, it feels, it doesn't feel like, like a normal truck. It's smooth as silk, and quiet and silent, when you drive it. And yeah, so in terms of toughness.
Then things like rollover, because the center of gravity is so low, it doesn't roll over. If you're ever in an argument with another car, you will win.
Let's go!
Yeah, in movies, you sometimes see the hero or heroine hiding behind the car door while being shot with bullets. That doesn't actually work unless you're driving a Cybertruck. So, if Al Capone showed up with a Tommy gun and emptied the entire magazine into the car door, you would still be alive. So, you know, and so people say, like, "Well, you know, why'd you make it bulletproof?" I'm like, "Why not?" How tough is your truck? Because the other trucks, the bullets go through both sides. So, you shoot a bullet, it goes through both sides of the car. And, you know, just never know. I mean, sometimes you get these, like, late civilization vibes.
You know, you never know when the apocalypse could come along at any moment, and here at Tesla, we have the finest in apocalypse technology. I was on the Joe Rogan show, and Joe bet me $1 that his armor-piercing, steel-head arrow would go through the car. It now he owes me $1. So now, what about utility? So strength is great, but is this a you know, perhaps just a show truck, just a you know, a showpiece or that can't do actual work? How does it work as a real everyday truck? Well, here we have the future towing the future. So, basically, if you can fit any cargo in the trunk or in the bed, you can basically move it around.
So it's got over a ton of payload capability, but you can really put more than that in it. You can tow over 11,000 pounds, and it's got a super tough composite bed, no liner needed. The bed is 6 foot long, 4 foot wide, and you can fit 4 by 8 feet 4 by 8 pieces of plywood in with the bed, with the back down. So for those who are really into the truck world, there's something in the truck world called a truck pull. This is really the key test of how much power does your truck actually have.
So you have to pull this, 40,000-pound sled, and, when we went to the track, we said, "Well, well, what's the best, that, that you've seen?" They said, "Well, it'd be the Ford F-350 diesel." We're just like: "Well, let's, let's put our truck up against that." The guy who runs the truck pull said, "There's no way. There's no way." I was like: "Well, let's try it. Let's see what happens." So we actually had to slightly turn the car at the end, so it didn't hit the wall. So this, you have here a car that is, you know, bullet tough, you know, like that phrase, GM, and, can outpull an F-350 diesel, has a massive towing capacity, massive bed, one of... It's, it's basically an incredibly useful truck.
It's not just some grandstanding showpiece, like me. It's actually very useful. Now, what about performance? So this, I should say, it has an adaptive air suspension, so no matter what the load is, you can always have the... It can set the ride height at any low, high, anything. It'll automatically adjust the damping according to how much load it's carrying and the road conditions. It has a 17-inch ground clearance. Now, that's a true 17 inches. Typically, with a truck, you'll get the differential hanging down low, the rear differential, and that's what you'll high-side on a rock. But this has a completely flat bed, so you could drive over basically anything.
We actually took the Cybertruck on a Baja rally drive. So this is insane off-road capability. It has locking differentials, rear torque vectoring, and the crazy thing is, it'll do this all in comfort. It has steer-by-wire, which is one of the things where most people don't know what that means, but it's how modern jets are designed, the steer-by-wire, which gives you variable gain. So if you turn the steering yoke a small amount in the parking lot, it will turn the wheels a lot. But if you turn it on a highway, it turns the wheels a small amount. So it dynamically adjusts how much the wheels turn according to what your speed is.
This actually makes it very easy to drive. It actually has a turning circle less than a Model S.
So this thing can practically turn it, you know, rotate on a, you know, dime, basically. It has incredible low-speed maneuverability. And then, there's a lot of advanced details under the skin. It's the first time that a car is moving to a 48-volt low-voltage architecture from 12 volts, which has been around for 100 years. We have Ethernet comms, distributed controllers , allows for 70% less wire in the car. And it's really the internals are as advanced as the externals. It's a whole new step change in the technology. So let's take it to the racetrack and see how does the Cybertruck perform against a Porsche 911? And I should say, this is an actual Porsche.
We literally just got it from the dealer. 2023 Porsche 911. But wait, there's more. It can tow a Porsche 911 across a quarter mile faster than the Porsche 911 can go by itself. I should say, tougher than bullets. Tow pretty much anything faster than a 911, while towing a 911. And deliveries begin now. Thank you. So...
Next owner's gonna come up. Those are the key to you. Okay.
These are the actual owners. We're handing over production Cybertrucks to their actual owners. Thank you for buying a Cybertruck. Oh, hi. Hi. Sure.
