Grab a chance to see Tesla’s Cybertruck in the metal

Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck is going on a European “Cyber Odyssey” where the public will be able to get up close and personal with the vehicle for the first time.

The Cybertruck will be displayed in more than 100 locations in 20 countries, and attendees will also have the opportunity to book test drives with the award-winning Model Y and upgraded Model 3.

The all-electric pickup truck will make its first UK appearance on 4th May at Tesla Centre Park Royal (London) where it’ll be on display for the weekend.

Tesla Centre Park Royal – 4th to 5th May
Tesla Centre Westfield Shopping– 6th to 10th May
Kings Cross – 11th of May
Tesla Centre Solihull – 13th to 17th May
Birmingham Bullring – 18th to 19th May
Spinningfields Square – 20th to 21st May
Tesla Central Manchester– 22nd to 31st May
Edinburgh City Centre – 1st of June
Tesla Centre Glasgow – 2nd to 6th of June
Tesla Centre Belfast– 7th to 9th June

Marketed as “better utility than a truck, more performance than a sportscar, Cyberpunk sensibility”, the Cybertruck’s revolutionary design draws inspiration from cyberpunk aesthetics, notably showcased in movies such as Blade Runner.

Its exterior shell is made from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel which helps protect against dents and dings and long-term corrosion, providing protection beyond industry standards.

Cybertruck’s performance variant named Cyberbeast goes from 0-60mph in just 2.6 seconds, while maintaining high-speed stability.

Standard Adaptive Air Suspension delivers millisecond adjustments to optimize both ride and handling. With steer-by-wire and rear steering, Cyberbeast offers the handling of a sportscar and a better turning circle than most sedans.

Inside the cargo bed, there are two 120V power outlets and one 240V outlet, to plug in wherever you go. For the first time, Tesla Powershare technology enables bidirectional power transfer to charge any device, other electric vehicles, and even power a home via the charger port.

Isuzu finds highest-mileage D-Max in the UK

Pick-up manufacturer Isuzu has tracked down a D-Max that’s covered more than 350,000 miles.

The Japanese firm’s UK division launched a campaign to try and find the highest mileage D-Max, and the winner – a 2014 D-Max Eiger 2.5TD – has clocked up 351,364 and remains in daily service. That’s an average of 43,750 miles per year.

Purchased new from Bob Gerard Isuzu in Leicester, the D-Max actually belongs to nearby Vauxhall dealer, Aston Melton Mowbray, and is used to help deliver and collect vehicles nationwide.

Still going strong on its original engine and manual gearbox, the only major repair outside of regular servicing and consumables was a new rear differential in 2021.

James Jeal, from Aston Melton Mowbray, said: “When the business was looking for a vehicle capable of towing 3.5-tonnes on a daily basis back in 2012, we wanted something that would not only do the job but would also prove to be the most cost-effective for the business, at which time the Isuzu D-Max became the obvious choice.

“It’s extremely important for us to have vehicles we can rely on for our vehicle deliveries and the D-Max has been fantastic for our business, so much so that when we needed to add another tow vehicle to our fleet, we once again chose an Isuzu D-Max for the job.”

Brian Wheeler, Product Manager at Isuzu UK, commented: “Isuzu is renowned for the durability and robustness of its pick-up and this truck is a living testament to that reputation. It is fantastic to see a vehicle with this mileage used every day for towing and continuing to be a reliable workhorse for the business it serves.”

Audi Q6 Pickup: Digital Artist Takes a Ford Ranger and Transforms It into an Audi Pickup Concept

Audi Q6 pickup Audi portfolio of products is extensive. If you want a sportscar then Audi has you covered. If you want a sedan or a coupe, then Audi again has options for you. There are several Audi SUVs to choose from and a growing number of all-electric vehicles. However, there is something missing and that is a traditional pickup truck. But that gap in the lineup may be addressed soon. Autocar reported earlier this year that Audi CEO Markus Duesmann confirmed the brand is considering its own truck. Could we see an Audi Q6 pickup truck in the near future? And what would it look like? It may seem surprising that Audi would enter the pickup segment but when the CEO of the company confirms it is being considered then it is more than just a wild rumor.

Duesmann, who, when asked if an Audi pickup was a possibility, said: “I can’t promise that we will do one, but we are looking into it.” He did not offer specific details, but he went on to say: “Actually, we will present – not too far from now – maybe something.” We have yet to see a formal concept from Audi, but a talented digital artist recently did a mockup of what the Audi Q6 pickup could look like and posted on the Theottle YouTube channel. The artist used a current Ford Ranger as the base for the new Audi pickup truck. The midsize Ford truck was chosen for good reason.
