The EPA filings confirm the Cybercab runs on a single front-mounted 219 horsepower permanent magnet motor with front-wheel drive, a compact 48 kWh battery pack running at 326 colts, and a curb weight of 3,113 pounds, making it roughly 700 pounds lighter than the lightest Model 3 on the market.
Key facts
- At 165 Wh/mi, the Cybercab is nearly 30 percent more efficient than the Lucid Air sedan
- What these documents reveal is the lightest, most range efficient vehicle Tesla has ever produced making it roughly 700 pounds lighter than the lightest Model 3 on the market
- Most EVs are notoriously heavy because they require massive battery packs to achieve a 300-mile-plus range
- At 3,113 pounds, the Cybercab is remarkably light, likely because Tesla has stripped out the steering wheel and many of the traditional controls that aren’t necessary in a vehicle that’s intended
Summary
At 165 Wh/mi, the Cybercab is nearly 30 percent more efficient than the Lucid Air sedan. Against all odds, the Tesla Cybercab is in production. What these documents reveal is the lightest, most range efficient vehicle Tesla has ever produced making it roughly 700 pounds lighter than the lightest Model 3 on the market. At 3,113 pounds, the Cybercab is remarkably light, likely because Tesla has stripped out the steering wheel and many of the traditional controls that aren’t necessary in a vehicle that’s intended to be fully autonomous. The weight reduction also allows Tesla to achieve unprecedented efficiency, squeezing maximum range out of a tiny battery pack.
