‘That Is What Surprises People Most,’ Says Elon Musk After New Owner Says His Chunky Steel Cybertruck More Comfortable Than Model S

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, on Saturday, that the comfort of a Cybertruck despite its size and stainless steel exterior astounds most people.

What Happened: Musk was responding to a Tesla enthusiast who purchased a Cybertruck and termed it the “most comfortable Tesla.” Despite its greater dimensions, the vehicle is easier to drive around San Francisco than a Model S, the individual wrote on X.

“That is what surprises people most,” Musk wrote.

Dimensions And Turning Circle: The Cybertruck has an overall length of about 223.7 inches and a weight of over 6,600 lbs on the all-wheel drive version. The higher-end Cyberbeast version of the truck weighs over 6,800 lbs. The Model S, in comparison, is only 197.9 inches in length.

The comfort was enabled with air suspension, adaptive damping, and large tires, according to Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill. They work together to ensure a sporty drive while not being harsh, he said.
