According to a statement on Tesla’s website, the Cyberquad has a range of 13 kilometres (8 miles) and a battery life of 1.5 hours. It can reach a top speed of 8 kilometres per hour.

Why Tesla is wooing China
China is the world’s largest electric vehicle market, making it a crucial market for Tesla. The company, headquartered in Austin, Texas, operates a major factory in Shanghai, responsible for more than 50 per cent of its global electric vehicle production.
In June, Tesla delivered a total of 93,680 electric vehicles from the Shanghai plant, representing nearly 20 per cent growth compared to the same month in the previous year.
What’s up with the Cybertruck?
The Tesla Cybertruck, a highly anticipated electric vehicle globally, has attracted significant attention since its unveiling in 2019. Despite delays in production, Elon Musk recently announced that manufacturing of the Cybertruck will commence in September 2023. Several prototypes of the vehicle have been spotted, some of which were covered in camouflage wraps.
Previous sightings of the Cybertruck prototypes did not feature any camouflage, but the most recent sighting in Palo Alto, California, revealed a prototype wrapped in official factory camouflage. The discovery, shared on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, showed no noticeable differences compared to previously seen prototypes.
