No more or less than any other vehicle of similar weight.
- discordance 3y agoThe thing weighs 8000 to 10000 lb (3629 to 4536 kg). That’s shockingly heavy to move around 200lbs meat sacks.
- mike_d 3y agoMost EVs weigh about that much, to the point that some cities are considering amending "No trucks" signs to also say no EVs.
- majormajor 3y agoDo they? Model X weighs 5600lbs, here - https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/model-x https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/model-x - and that's bigger than any of the other, more popular, Teslas other than the Cybertruck. Far cry from 8-10000. Or even 7-8000.
- lolbase 3y agoTesla 3 - up to 4065. Tesla S - up to 4941. Tesla X - up to 5531. Tesla Y - up to 4416. Chevy Bolt - 3563. Leaf - up to 3853. Mach-E - up to 4920. ID.4 - up to 4848. E-Tron - up to 5754. BMW iX - up to 5659. Taycan - up to 5121 Kona EV - up to 3715.
- mike_d 3y agoI like how you just excluded all the comparable EVs. Here they are for completeness, most coming close to or topping out the standard 7k where they will post "No Trucks" signs. Ford Lightning - 6,893 Hummer EV - 9,063 Rivian R1T - 7,148 Lordstown Endurance - 6,450 Chevrolet Silverado EV - 8,532 RAM 1500 REV - est. 7,500 Alpha Wolf - 7,088
- lolbase 3y agoYour claim was about “Most EVs”. I listed the most popular EVs, without edits.
- PawgerZ 3y ago"No truck" signs are for semi trucks, not pickup trucks. These semis (just the truck, no trailer) weigh 2-3x more than an average pickup truck/Cybertruck and 3-5x more than an average EV.

- Kirby64 3y agoCitation needed. It’s expected to be around 7k lbs, over 8k would put it in the hummer EV territory.
- EwanToo 3y agoTwice the weight of the Tesla model 3 which is 1800kg, it's pretty extreme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_3
- thedaly 3y agoIt does not weigh 8000 to 10000 pounds. It is listed between 6500 and 7000.
- slowhadoken 3y agoA 2024 Ford F-150 weights more.
- LeafItAlone 3y agoDo you have a source for that? A quick Google tells me that a 2024 Ford F-150 weight is about 1,000 lbs less than a Cybertruck’s purported weight.
- dzlobin 3y ago> vehicle of similar weight All...one of them: https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/money/cars/2019/10/14/heaviest-cars-in-us-ford-gmc/40298365/ https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/money/cars/2019/10/...
- thedaly 3y agoYour link lists 6 trucks that are heavier than the 6,670 Ibs two motor version of the cybertruck.
- sangnoir 3y agoThis is not true - there are other factors at play. The angle of the bumper and where the bumper comes into contact with a human matters a lot - if it is below the human's center of mass, they are much less likely to be thrown under the vehicle and run over.
- adrianmonk 3y agoWeight is not the main factor. Height/shape is much more important. From https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/06/28/suvs-killing-americas-pedestrians/646139002/ https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2018/06/28/suvs-killi... : > Hampton Clay Gabler, a professor in the department of biomedical engineering and mechanics at Virginia Tech, [ ... ] described the vulnerability of pedestrians when struck by an SUV as a geometry problem of sorts because SUVs and pickups tend to be tall compared with pedestrians and have a blunter front end. That positioning is more likely to put someone’s head or chest in line to be struck during the initial impact with a vehicle. “(Not to diminish leg injuries but) serious head and chest injuries can actually kill you,” Gabler said in a telephone interview. (It is probably true, though, that most vehicles this heavy are tall as well, so weight would still be correlated to how dangerous a vehicle is.)
