EV JUGGERNAUT TESLA’S entry in the category is the outrageous, apocalyptic Cybertruck. It boasts classleading capacity with seating for six, an unmatched 805 km range, up to 6 350 kg of towing capacity, and loads of lockable storage, including its retractable ‘vault’ (Tesla-speak for bed) cover. The truck’s planar body panels are scratch- and dent-resistant coldrolled stainless steel. Expect blistering acceleration in the top trim, with 0–100 km/h times of less than 2.9 seconds for the trimotor variant. For an additional $7 000 (just over R100 000), Elon promises ‘full self-driving’ capabilities – apparently for those who don’t want to do their own dirty work.
