When production begins, possibly sometime late next year, Elon Musk stated on Twitter that the delayed truck will have a four-motor drive system. Tesla recently removed the proposed technical specifics for the Cybertruck from its reservation website, which had previously promised a top-of-the-line $69,900 Tri-Motor model with two back motors and one upfront, as well as lower-priced dual and single motor trims.
What Elon Musk say?
“Initial production will be a four-motor model, each with separate, ultra-fast reaction torque control,” Musk said. The update would bring the Cybertruck in line with the Rivian R1T, which features a four-motor arrangement and recently became the first all-electric production pickup to go on sale in the United States.
R1T includes a “tank turn”
The also includes a “tank turn” capability, which allows it to spin in place on slick surfaces by pushing the wheels on both sides in different directions.

pickup to go on sale in the United States. Because the software is still being developed to assure its safe use, the feature has not yet been activated on client trucks. With a four-wheel steering system, Musk claims the Cybertruck will outperform the Rivian.
Drive diagonally like a crab
“It’ll have front and back wheel steer, so it won’t only drive like a tank — it’ll be able to drive diagonally like a crab.” The Cybertruck, on the other hand, will not be the first truck capable of doing so. The 1,000-horsepower GMC Hummer EV, which goes on sale this month, features a four-wheel steer and a CrabWalk mode that allows for diagonal driving up to 10 degrees.
