2025 Tesla Cybertruck Review: Price, Specs, Pictures & More
There's nothing on the road quite like the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck. With its radically angular stainless-steel exoskeleton and futuristic, Blade Runner–inspired design, the Cybertruck challenges every norm of what a pickup should be. In this review, we’ll explore why Tesla’s electric pickup has captured the imagination of truck enthusiasts and tech fans alike.
A Radical Exterior That Turns Heads
The Cybertruck’s design is unlike any conventional pickup. Its unpainted stainless-steel body and angular lines give it a futuristic appearance that can only be described as anti-conventional. Inspired by Blade Runner aesthetics—and reminiscent of a flying DeLorean—this truck is built to attract attention wherever it goes.
Key point: While its striking style is a definite head-turner, the design also serves a structural purpose, enhancing durability and passenger protection.
Performance That Impresses
Blindingly Quick Acceleration
Under the hood (or rather, behind the futuristic facade), the Cybertruck packs plenty of electric punch. During independent testing on the Edmunds EV Range Test track, our dual-motor prototype accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in an impressive 4.0 seconds. This performance is comparable to premium electric trucks like the Ford F-150 Lightning and competes closely with the likes of the Rivian R1T.
Towing & Off-Road Capability
Practicality hasn’t been sacrificed for style. The Cybertruck offers a towing capacity of up to 11,000 pounds, making it a capable workhorse for hauling trailers, boats, or off-road equipment. Its sturdy build and specially tuned suspension also handle off-road challenges with aplomb, meaning it’s not just a showpiece but a real truck built for duty.
Test Highlight: Despite relying on regenerative braking and one-pedal driving for smooth stops, the truck’s steer-by-wire system can be a bit tricky. Without conventional feedback, drivers must learn to rely on visual cues—an adjustment that can lead to occasional overcorrections on tight corners.
Inside the Cabin: Minimalism Meets Functionality
A Bold, Minimalist Approach
Step inside the Cybertruck and you’re greeted by a starkly minimalist interior that discards traditional physical controls in favor of a massive 18.5-inch center touchscreen. Almost every function—be it climate control, navigation, or shifting gears—is controlled from this screen. For longtime Tesla drivers, this design echoes the Model 3 and Model Y philosophy of “less is more.”
Comfort and Practicality
The Cybertruck’s cabin is quiet, with a surprisingly comfortable front seating experience that makes long drives less fatiguing. However, while the seats up front score well, the rear seating can feel a bit less forgiving, and overall roominess doesn’t quite compare to full-size pickups. A notable convenience is the adjustable air suspension, which lowers the vehicle when parked—making ingress and egress easier even though poor visibility can be a challenge.
