The Tesla Cybertruck Performance Model ‘Kicks Ass Next-Level’
The Tesla Cybertruck won’t be going to Plaid, but it might not have to.
Elon Musk has said there won’t be a version of the Cybertruck akin to the Model S and Model X Plaid versions, but it sounds like there will be one that’s plenty quick.
Musk commented on an X post that quoted him saying a Cybertruck Plaid isn’t in the works by noting that, “I just drove the performance Cybertruck and it kicks ass next-level.”
While the Model S and Model X come in Plaid trims, the sportiest versions of the Model 3 and Model Y are called Performance.

Despite having a reported two million reservations for the full-size truck, the final pricing and specifications have not been released.
When it was originally unveiled in 2019, the Cybertruck was advertised with a top Tri-Motor trim that could accelerate to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and cover a quarter mile in 10.8 seconds.

Musk said it would be a “better truck than a Ford F-150, faster than a Porsche 911.”
Since then, Tesla has indicated that a quad-motor version is in the works, which could potentially improve on those numbers.

Musk has said that the first customer deliveries would happen before the end of this year, although it looks like they will miss the third quarter deadline he’d originally targeted.
An increasing number of Cybertrucks have been spotted being shipped across the country on haulers in recent weeks, however, along with several prototypes being tested on public roads.
