Questions about range, auxiliary features, and the infamous 'Beast Mode' were finally answered. This event had it all.
An interesting point of focus was the range. There have long been speculations on whether the Cybertruck could rival its competitors in this department. Looks like the Cybertruck offers about 290 miles on a full charge. While it may not be the most impressive figure compared to some other models in the market, it’s pretty decent when you consider the overall design and capabilities.

Attendees included a mix of Tesla fans, referral program winners, and industry experts. Social media buzz revealed insights as guests posted their exclusive invites. Influencers and noted Tesla community members like Whole Mars Catalog, Sawyer Merritt, and Dirty Tesla shared a sneak peek of their golden tickets ahead of the event.
Interestingly, the event wasn't just about handover. Tesla used this opportunity to introduce some of the vehicle's more unique features. Take the 'BaseCamp' accessory for example. This robust tent, which attaches to the Cybertruck's vault, comes with a mattress to top things off—a perfect gadget for those who love to explore the great outdoors.

Another hot topic during the event was the Cybertruck's performance features. 'Beast Mode' intrigued many. Initially hinted at by Elon Musk, this feature promises to set a new standard for electric vehicle acceleration.
