There haven’t been many chances to compare the dimensions of Tesla Cybertruck prototypes to those of other electric pickup trucks because so few exist. Thanks to a recent sighting, we could observe the Cybertruck adjacent to a Rivian R1T.
Even though the first Cybertruck deliveries won’t be for several weeks, the electric pickup truck’s exact specs and measurements are still unknown. Since the vehicle has undergone multiple revisions during the previous four years, most of the information initially revealed during the prototype’s introduction in 2019 is probably no longer accurate.
Spotting the Cybertruck
These sightings follow a flurry of recent reports of Cybertruck sightings as Tesla prepares to start its first deliveries. The car has attracted much attention recently, creating enthusiasm in the niche market for electric pickup trucks.
Tesla Cybertruck Expected Dimensions
At an upcoming delivery event next month, Tesla is expected to reveal more details about the Cybertruck. Tesla confirmed that the Cybertruck will be “the first sub-19 ft pickup truck with four doors and a bed over six feet.” This information provides a fairly good idea of the truck’s size and proportions.
In the comparison image, the camera angle may make the Rivian R1T appear larger, but it still offers a useful perspective on the size difference, especially about width. According to Rivian, the R1T measures 6.5 feet (2,007 mm) in width. In terms of length, the Rivian R1T spans 217.1 inches (5.51 m), while the Cybertruck is just under 228 inches (5.79 m), based on recent data from Tesla.
Tesla Cybertruck: The Truck Bed
Regarding the truck bed, the Cybertruck features a 6-foot bed, while the R1T has a 4.5-foot bed. This contrast may be surprising when viewing the picture, but it’s important to note that the Cybertruck’s unique design can be deceptive.
Reddit User’s Exciting Encounter
Reddit member u/BladeBronson posted a pair of fascinating images displaying an intriguing juxtaposition. He had parked his DeLorean DMC-12 next to Tesla’s Cybertruck, a startling visual contrast. The post features six mesmerizing photos of the two iconic vehicles. From front views to front-corner angles side profiles to rear snapshots, each image captures the essence of these automotive legends.
Some photos highlight the DeLorean’s famous “gull-wing doors,” reminiscent of the Falcon Wing doors on Tesla’s Model X. A nod to the past and a glimpse of the future in a single frame.
As Tesla gears up for the highly anticipated pickup truck’s initial deliveries, all the final details will be revealed in just a few weeks. It’s a moment that many have been eagerly awaiting as the Cybertruck continues to generate buzz in the world of electric vehicles.
