Tesla Cyberquad, the futuristic quad as the ideal companion to the Cybertruck pick-up

At the presentation of the Tesla Cybertruck there was a novelty in the background, the Tesla Cyberquad, which could be its first electric quad

Surely any motoring enthusiast will be aware of the latest news from Tesla, the electric giant, regarding the upcoming arrival of what will be its first electric pick-up, the Cybertruck. A model that has been well received, judging by the many people interested in it according to the company itself, although it has also been on everyone’s lips because of a structural fault with its windows, which has even led BMW to joke about it, even though Tesla tried to shift the focus with an absurd challenge against a basic Ford F-150.

But although all eyes were on the futuristic Cybertruck, there was another star, one of those we might call secondary given their background role but which deserves mention: alongside the electric pick-up was also the Tesla Cyberquad, an electric quad model that positions itself as the ideal complement to the Cybertruck, since its rear cargo bed has the dimensions needed to carry it, as well as a hidden ramp in a double floor that lets you load and unload it with ease.

It may seem somewhat strange for a company like Tesla to venture into this segment, and the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, once said his company would not get into motorcycle production because of a bad experience he had at 17, when he nearly suffered a serious accident with another vehicle, something that clearly left its mark on him. But the Tesla Cyberquad is not a conventional motorcycle, and it has four wheels, so what I said, I take back…

We’ll see whether it reaches production, but for now the seed has been planted with a quad that, like the pick-up, is futuristic on every side, with very angular and sharply defined lines that I am not sure will be very efficient for the purpose a quad is meant to serve. The front seems to challenge us with an aggressive look and an LED headlight set at mid-height in a horizontal arrangement, leading into a bodywork that opens abruptly and creates a strong sense of width, something that also happens at the rear.

For the moment the company has not confirmed that the Tesla Cyberquad will become a reality, and it has not released information on its performanceTesla Cyberquad (1), the batteries it would fit, its power output or its range either. It’s worth noting that during the Cybertruck presentation you could see it being plugged into the sockets available in the pick-up when it was driven onto the rear cargo bed, so it could indeed be charged from the pick-up’s battery energy.
