Another day, and more strategic leaks of Tesla's Cybertruck. With the delivery event scheduled for the end of the month, the leaks are nearing a deluge. The latest courtesy of an anonymous insider was brought to the public eye by the YouTube channel TFLEV.

The Cybertruck, with a total length of 18.6 feet and an overall width of 79.9 inches without mirrors, positions itself adeptly between mid and full-size pickups, undercutting the size of giants like the Ram 1500 and F-150 Lightning by several inches. The overall height at a medium suspension setting is 70.5 inches, with a wheelbase of 143 inches, indicating a truck with a lower profile and potential for increased maneuverability compared to today's larger trucks.

The Weight of Innovation: Curb Weights and Battery Implications

Despite its smaller size, the Cybertruck's curb weight of 6,670 pounds for the dual-motor and 6,890 pounds for the tri-motor variants suggests a heavy-duty build. The numbers match up to what Elon Musk recently stated on Joe Rogan. This weight, slightly less than the Rivian R1T but more than most F-150 Lightning trims, reflects its robust stainless steel body and unknown battery size. With Tesla's history of offering multiple battery configurations, the weight could vary depending on the final battery options released.

The towing capacity stands at a solid 11,000 pounds with a max tongue weight of 1,110 pounds, which is on par with the Rivian R1T and above the base F-150 Lightning trims but below the 14,000 pounds suggested by Tesla's website and the top-trim F-150s. This may indicate different capabilities across various Cybertruck models.

The presumed Cybertruck specs that were leaked by TFLEV on YouTube

Cybertruck Specs

Overall length: 18.6 feet
Overall width (no mirrors): 79.9 inches
Overall height (medium setting): 70.5 inches
Wheelbase: 143 inches
Dual-Motor Curb Weight: 6,670 lbs
Tri-Motor Curb Weight: 6,890 lbs
Tow rating: 11,000 lbs
Max tongue weight: 1,110 lbs

Interior and Cargo Space

The bed length is over six feet at 72.8 inches, with a width of 51 inches, offering substantial cargo space despite the sloping sides that may impact the overall usability. The frunk, with a volume of 7.1 cubic feet and a weight capacity of 420 pounds, is designed for easy access to heavy or wide items, which could double as a bench, albeit with potential obstruction from the hood.

Regarding interior space, the Cybertruck offers leading headroom with 41.6 inches in the front and 39 inches in the rear and ample legroom of 41 inches front and 40.9 inches rear. The shoulder room is generous at 63 inches in the front and 62 inches in the rear, with a hip room of 57.2 inches for front and rear passengers. This positions the Cybertruck as a comfortable four-adult vehicle with spaciousness that belies its lower exterior height.

While not officially confirmed, the leaked specifications paint a detailed picture of the Cybertruck's design intentions and capabilities. The delivery event is scheduled for November 30th.

Tesla FSD in Europe: June Update

June 14, 2025

The road to bringing FSD to Europe has been a long and complex one and filled with regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles. Elon Musk, as well as other members of Tesla’s AI team, have previously voiced their grievances with the regulatory approval process on X.

However, it appears that there is finally some progress in getting things moving with recent changes to upcoming autonomy regulations, but the process still seems slow.

Waiting on the Dutch

Elon commented on X recently, stating that Tesla is waiting for approval from Dutch authorities and then the EU to start rolling out FSD in Europe. Tesla is focusing on acquiring approvals from the Dutch transportation authority, which will provide them with the platform they need to gain broader acceptance in Europe. Outside of the Netherlands, Tesla is also conducting testing in Norway, which provides a couple of avenues for them to obtain national-level approval.

The frustration has been ongoing, with multiple committee meetings bringing up autonomy regulation but always pulling back at the last second before approving anything. The last meeting on Regulation 157, which governs Automated Lane Keeping Systems, concluded with authorities from the UK and Spain requesting additional time to analyze the data before reaching a conclusion.

Tesla, as well as Elon, have motioned several times for owners to reach out to their elected representatives to move the process forward, as it seems that Tesla’s own efforts are being stymied.

This can seem odd, especially since Tesla has previously demoed FSD working exceptionally smoothly on European roads - and just did it again in Rome when they shared the video below on X.

DCAS Phase 3

While the approval process has been slow, Kees Roelandschap pointed out that there may be a different regulatory step that could allow FSD to gain a foothold in Europe.

According to Kees, the European Commission is now taking a new approach to approving ADAS systems under the new DCAS Phase 3 regulations. The Commission is now seeking data from systems currently operational in the United States that can perform System-Initiated Maneuvers and don’t require hands-on intervention for every request.

This is key because those are two of the core functionalities that make FSD so usable, and it also means that there may not be a need to wait years for proper regulations to be written from scratch. Now, the Commission will be looking at real-world data based on existing, deployed technology, which could speed up the process immensely.

What This Means

This new, data-driven regulatory approach could be the path for Tesla to reach its previous target of September for European FSD. While the cogs of bureaucracy are ever slow, sometimes all it takes is a little data to have them turn a bit faster in this case.

Alongside specific countries granting approval for limited field testing with employees, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for FSD in Europe, and hopes are that a release will occur by the end of 2025. With Europe now looking to North America for how FSD is performing, Tesla’s Robotaxi results could also play a role.

Tesla Launches 'TeslaVision' Contest With Big Prizes — See Last Year’s Winner [VIDEO]

Tesla’s marketing has always been relatively unconventional, relying on word-of-mouth rather than traditional advertising. The passion of the owner’s community is always massive, but it is especially high now with the launch of the Robotaxi network just around the corner.

Tesla is now tapping into that spring of fan creativity and announced the TeslaVision video contest, with some seriously impressive prizes up for grabs.

Announcing the TeslaVision fan video showcase

Tesla owners & supporters have always been able to see our products & mission for what they truly are.

Your word of mouth has made Tesla what it is today.

The OGs will remember that in 2017, we held our first video contest. 8 years… pic.twitter.com/6pPpkqmqOH

The Contest

The core of the contest is simple. Create a video that shows how your Tesla gives you more in life. Tesla is looking for submissions that highlight themes of freedom, safety, fun, and convenience.

Prizes

The prizes definitely make this contest worth entering if you’re good with a camera and have some basic video editing abilities.

For North America, the prizes include a brand new Model Y AWD Long Range, alongside an all-expenses-paid trip to Austin for a tour of Giga Texas. The grand prize winner will also be able to custom order their Model Y, allowing them to select their preferred wheels and color.

The two runners-up won’t get a Model Y, but they’ll also enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Giga Texas for a tour of the factory.

The travel and tour include lodging in Austin for 2 nights, as well as economy-class round-trip tickets from anywhere in North America. Tesla will also provide a vehicle for use during the trip.

Hopefully, these winners will also have the opportunity to experience the Robotaxi network while they’re in Austin, as it’s expected to be opened to the public later this month.

Project Loveday

For long-time followers of Tesla, this contest may feel familiar. The contest is a direct throwback to the 2017 Project Loveday contest, which was inspired by a letter to Tesla from a 10-year-old aspiring marketer. That contest was won by MKBHD, with his submission below:
