It had previously been rumored that the Cybertruck would receive a bespoke quad-motor setup similar to the Rivian R1T, but if these reports are to be believed that was probably deemed too expensive at this juncture. Regardless, recently posted videos show the model is capable of very rapid acceleration which makes perfect sense given the Model X Plaid is able to shoot from 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
Although the unnamed source says the Cybertruck will receive the same setup as the other Plaid models, it will most likely have a decent amount of changes thanks to the higher voltage architecture the truck is going to run on.
It’s possible the system could be more similar to the one being offered in the Tesla Semi Truck, allowing for something much more unique than other passenger Tesla models and better suited to the needs of a truck.
