First unveiled in November last year, Tesla Cybertruck still has many scratching their heads concluding on their opinion about it. During its unveil, we wrote that it wouldn't be long before it is featured in a sci-fi film based in a dusty post-apocalyptic era helping the protagonist to get to difficult regions wearing chunky tyres. While we didn't see that, Leasefetcher.co.uk is helping us see the Cybertruck in new perspectives – eight of them.
-
As a Police Vehicle: During the unveiling, Elon Musk showed a video to the audience of the Tesla Cybertruck beating a Porsche 911 off the line. Tesla say that the truck in its 'tri-motor' version will do 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. Those are great number for the police for high-speed chases on highways. If the miscreant must flea into narrow streets, the Cybertruck can carry an electric motorcycle on its flat bed.
-
As a Delivery Vehicle: Besides being quick, the Tesla Cybertruck is also rather big and could take a substantial payload at the back. There has been a push lately from e-commerce giants like Amazon to replace the existing delivery vehicle fleets with electric ones and the Cybertruck could put forward a strong candidature.
-
Pizza! Speaking of delivery, the applications can be vast with pizza delivery being one of them. The Cybertruck may be too big to go around delivering pizzas though (unless the likes of Dominos think of a live pizza station for delivering perfectly hot, fresh, crisp pizzas fresh out of the oven).
-
As Mail/Courier Delivery Vehicle: Tesla will come in three variants and even in its lowest variant, Tesla claim a range of 400 km which seems plenty to go around the city to deliver packages. The most affordable variant will come with a single motor and rear-wheel-drive and is priced at $39,900 (approximately Rs 28.62 lakh).
-
As a Taxi: The mid variant has two motors, an all-wheel-drive system, and an improved range of 480 km, carrying a price tag of $49,900 (approximately Rs 35.8 lakh). All Tesla cars come with the 'auto-pilot' mode which could be used in taxis in cities like Dubai which already has self-driving Tesla cars as cabs.
-
As an Ambulance: It has a lot of space at the back and it is quick, and so it could make a good ambulance. Production of the Tesla Cybertruck will begin in late 2021 and in late 2022 for the Tri-Motor AWD. Tesla has also invited potential customers to put down a deposit of $100.
-
As a Coastguard Vehicle: The top trim of the Tesla Cybertruck will come with three electric motors, and an all-wheel-drive system. It’ll retail at $69,900 (approximately Rs 50.15 lakh). Besides, the coastguard could carry an electric ATV (all terrain vehicle) on the truck's flat bed. <strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/auto/car-news/tesla-electric-atv-cyberquad-cybertruck-electric-dirt-bikes-elon-musk-tesla-in-india-tesla-car-price/1791014/">Tesla to roll out electric ATV & dirt bikes but road bikes too dangerous, says Elon Musk</a>

As Roadside Assistance: The towing capacity of the lowest variant is 3,400 kg, the mid variant can pull 4,530 kg and the top-trim tri-motor version can tow about 6,350 kg & has a battery range of 800 km. Heading out on the highway to assist a vehicle broken down far away from the city or to bring it back should be okay for the Cybertruck.
