Tesla Cybertruck: New Tri-Motor Option and Weight Exceeds 9,000 Pounds

When it comes to the weight of the Cybertruck, it's not surprising that it's quite hefty. It's well-known that electric pickups these days are in need of weight reduction, but that reality is still a few years away. We can assume that the Dual-Motor drivetrain will fall into the 8-9,000 lbs category, while the Tri-Motor will be in the 9-10,000 lbs range. However, it's not guaranteed and there may be options to move between weight categories based on battery and wheel choices.

In terms of size, the Cybertruck is expected to be longer and taller than a Rivian R1T, but not as wide. It will likely be smaller than a GMC Hummer EV and similar in size to the Ford Lightning.

Regardless of its size, one thing is for sure - the Cybertruck will definitely stand out wherever it's parked. It's the epitome of a "Look at me!" truck and it's soon to be seen in a parking lot near you, so get ready.
