Another day, and more strategic leaks of Tesla's Cybertruck. With the delivery event scheduled for the end of the month, the leaks are nearing a deluge. The latest courtesy of an anonymous insider was brought to the public eye by the YouTube channel TFLEV.
The Cybertruck, with a total length of 18.6 feet and an overall width of 79.9 inches without mirrors, positions itself adeptly between mid and full-size pickups, undercutting the size of giants like the Ram 1500 and F-150 Lightning by several inches. The overall height at a medium suspension setting is 70.5 inches, with a wheelbase of 143 inches, indicating a truck with a lower profile and potential for increased maneuverability compared to today's larger trucks.
The Weight of Innovation: Curb Weights and Battery Implications
Despite its smaller size, the Cybertruck's curb weight of 6,670 pounds for the dual-motor and 6,890 pounds for the tri-motor variants suggests a heavy-duty build. The numbers match up to what Elon Musk recently stated on Joe Rogan. This weight, slightly less than the Rivian R1T but more than most F-150 Lightning trims, reflects its robust stainless steel body and unknown battery size. With Tesla's history of offering multiple battery configurations, the weight could vary depending on the final battery options released.
The towing capacity stands at a solid 11,000 pounds with a max tongue weight of 1,110 pounds, which is on par with the Rivian R1T and above the base F-150 Lightning trims but below the 14,000 pounds suggested by Tesla's website and the top-trim F-150s. This may indicate different capabilities across various Cybertruck models.

Interior and Cargo Space
The bed length is over six feet at 72.8 inches, with a width of 51 inches, offering substantial cargo space despite the sloping sides that may impact the overall usability. The frunk, with a volume of 7.1 cubic feet and a weight capacity of 420 pounds, is designed for easy access to heavy or wide items, which could double as a bench, albeit with potential obstruction from the hood.
Regarding interior space, the Cybertruck offers leading headroom with 41.6 inches in the front and 39 inches in the rear and ample legroom of 41 inches front and 40.9 inches rear. The shoulder room is generous at 63 inches in the front and 62 inches in the rear, with a hip room of 57.2 inches for front and rear passengers. This positions the Cybertruck as a comfortable four-adult vehicle with spaciousness that belies its lower exterior height.
