If you needed proof of just how quick off the mark the Tesla Cybertruck is then look no further than this impressive footage.
It’s honestly outstanding.
YOU CAN SEE THE CYBERTRUCK LEAVING OTHER CARS IN THE DUST AT A STOP LIGHT IN THE VIDEO BELOW:
The video posted on X shows a Tesla Cybertruck taking off after a red light turns green.
The eagerly anticipated EV from Tesla launches off the line like an F1 car, leading to many labelling it a “real beast on the road”.

it’s easy to say the long-awaited Cybertruck has plenty of get-up-and-go.
Posted by Oscar Herrera, the video is simply captioned.
“Cybertruck launches,” he says, punctuating with a rocket emoji.
“Aka doing the Cyberlaunch.”
As the video captures the side view of the sturdy-looking Tesla, someone in the filming car can be heard saying that it “looks so cool”.
However, as the Cybertruck rapidly accelerates away from the lights and almost out of view within ten seconds their interest is piqued further.
“I want a Cybertruck,” they said.
Its hefty size makes its agility surprising with some saying it looks “so large it looks like it could be used as a weapon”.
However, electric vehicles have generally beat the average internal combustion engine vehicle in terms of acceleration capabilities.
The commenters were also impressed.
“This is a real beast on the road. Don’t get caught speeding once you take delivery of your Cybertruck bros. It’s a monster indeed,” one said.
“It’s going to take the pick-up market over when it comes out,” said a second.
Another posted a video of a Cybertruck taking off a bit slower after a red light amid traffic.
“And it can also do refined gentleman’s launch,” they said.
There are reportedly over 2 million reservations already pledged for the Cybertruck.
Musk made it possible to place a preorder for the Cybertruck for just $100, which is totally refundable.
While promised for the third quarter of Q3 earlier in 2023, we now have an official date.
The official Cybertruck launch party will happen on 30 November.
And this is when the first deliveries will take place.
Back in 2019, the truck was priced at $39,000.
It’s safe to assume that this price will have increased in the last four years.
However, if Tesla’s recent price cuts are anything to go by, this vehicle might remain at the affordable end of the price range.
Musk has said that the company will aim to produce a quarter of a million Cybertruck models a year.
That’s impressive, but it still means he’ll be playing catch-up for a few years.
Tesla should be ready to begin production of the Cybertruck this year, with production expected to ramp up in 2024.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’.

When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
