It truly is the car that can do everything you probably don't need it to do.

The Cybertruck marketing over the years has been strange to say the least. Elon Musk has made an effort to show that the car can withstand an arrow, and fail to take the force of a sledgehammer, and now that it's time for Cybertrucks to actually make their way into the wild, Musk and Tesla have got back to their old ways and proved that the Cybertruck can beat other cars in a whole variety of weird situations.

Be it withstanding a magazine of a Tommy Gun, pulling a tractor down a dragstrip faster than a Ford F-150 can pull a tractor down a dragstrip, or even beating a Porsche 911 in a drag race while towing a Porsche 911, the Cybertruck can truly do everything the average consumer will never need it to do.

On top of this, Tesla has revealed a ton of specifics about the truck, including that it has a 0-60 of 2.6 seconds, a range of 340 miles, 11,000 lbs of towing capacity, armoured glass capable of withstanding the impact of a baseball at 70 mph, a 6x4 foot storage bed, an 18.5-inch touchscreen in the front, 15 dedicated speakers, a hospital-grade HEPA filter, and more. You can see the full list of specifics below, and watch the Cybertruck complete all of its bizarre feats too.
