Twitter user Dylan visited the Tesla store in San Diego and happened on a display sign for the Cybertruck next to an example of the due-any-day-now stainless steel pickup. The sign highlighted five points around the truck, the first being an "Ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskelton (sic)," the next, "Shatter-resistant glass." As others have noted, all modern automotive glass is shatter-resistant, windshields even more than side glass, which is why one generally needs a special tool or broken spark plug or small metal ball at a reveal demonstration to make that happen. The "Adaptive air suspension with on-road and off-road drive modes" is also common, although the air suspension bit is found more among the luxury SUV spectrum than on trucks, and Tesla's version seems to rise especially high. The first new interesting bit concerns payload, Tesla claiming the "Ultra-tough SMC bed" can hold up to 2,500 pounds; SMC stands for sheet moulding compound. The second interesting bit is how much the Cybertruck is rated to pull, the sign showing "11,000 pounds of towing power."
