Tesla fan takes a measuring tape to the Cybertruck’s rear bumper and finds surprising results

Despite all the pictures and videos surfacing online of the Tesla Cybertruck, there’s still so much that’s unknown about the hotly-anticipated EV.

For example, some of the key dimensions of the all-electric pickup truck remain a mystery.

That was until one Tesla fan took a measuring tape to the Cybertruck’s rear – and the results are surprising to say the least.

In late 2019 when the Tesla Cybertruck was unveiled, there were legitimate concerns that it’d be too large for conventional garages.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was quick to quash those concerns, though, saying that the Cybertruck’s size had been reduced slightly so it could fit in a standard garage easily.

Despite saying this, the actual dimensions have never been released.

It soon became a running joke of sorts among Tesla enthusiasts that someone should just take a measuring tape to a Cybertruck release candidate when they spot one.

That’s easier said than done, of course, but as per a recent post on the Cybertruck Owners Club, a Cybertruck reservation holder actually did it.

They were only able to measure the width of the Cybertruck’s bed and the rear bumper, but the findings are interesting nonetheless.

Apparently, the width of the rear bumper was 72 inches, with the width of the actual vehicle from the rear 78 inches, which isn’t too far off the Model S and Model X.
