Tesla Cybertruck Plaid To Come With The Familiar Tri-Motor Setup?

Tesla CEO also mouths colorful comments about the vehicle

Recent reports suggest that Tesla could be working on a performance version of its hugely anticipated electric pickup truck- the Tesla Cybertruck Plaid! While details of the powertrain are sparse, it is most likely to borrow the tri-motor setup from the Model X Plaid.

The Tesla Plaid powertrain can churn out 1020 hp, from three electric motors. The Model X Plaid has a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds and top speed of 149 mph. However, the Cybertruck being heavier than the sedan could mean slight cuts in performance. The electric truck could also come with a more comfortable suspension setup.
