Meet the Cyberquad: Tesla May Soon Release Its Electric ATV
Many people forgot about the Cyberquad following its debut in 2019. Now, Tesla may finally be preparing to bring the electric ATV into production.
The Cyberquad entered the public consciousness in 2019 when Tesla unveiled its Cybertruck. Since then, fans have patiently waited for the automaker to release an official launch date. Now, that date may be just around the corner.
Where to Find the Cyberquad
You won’t be finding this quad at the average ATV dealer. Tesla designed the electric ATV as an optional add-on for Cybertruck purchasers. The ATV is designed to fit perfectly into the bed of the Cybertruck, pairing two revolutionary vehicles to blend innovation and utility for a greener future.
When early production of the Cybertruck faced delays, the Cyberquad got put on the back burner.
Though Tesla hasn’t made anything official yet, there are indications that the Cyberquad may be reentering the picture. If it does, buyers will have to purchase Cybertrucks to gain access to this electric ATV.
Why Now?
People had almost forgotten about the Cyberquad, so why are they talking about it again now? It’s simple. Tesla recently filed for a new trademark. The previous one included rights for AT vehicles, land vehicles, and EVs under the name Cyberquad. The new one does the same.
Tesla’s decision to move forward with the patent application after filing multiple extensions to declare its statement of use seems like a good indication that the company is ready to move toward production.
What to Expect From the Cyberquad
Though we don’t know when to expect the Cyberquad’s release, its unveiling in 2019 offered plenty of information about what buyers can expect from the electric ATV.
The Cyberquad is designed to fit the bed of the Cybertruck and can be charged from its 120 or 240v charging system. It looks very much the part, with an aesthetic that matches the Cybertruck’s boxy, futuristic look.
Tesla initially promised its electric ATV would be available by 2021. Late that year, Tesla owner Elon Musk mentioned the Cyberquad in a shareholder meeting but gave no details on the production start date. After that, attention waned, and most people forgot about the electric ATV.
Now that there’s a chance of an imminent release, people are paying attention again.
What About the Cyberquad for Kids?
The Cyberquad for Kids is a separate product manufactured as a toy for children. The scaled-down version of the full-size ATV was released during Cyber Week in December 2021.
The Cyberquad for Kids has a top speed of 10 mph and a passenger weight limit of 150 lbs. It features a 288 Wh battery that gives it a range of up to 15 miles, or around one hour of use per charge.
The Tesla Cyberquad for Kids was only made available to existing Tesla customers.
When Will the Cyberquad Be Released?
There’s no official launch date planned for the Cyberquad. However, many people believe production will begin soon, so pay attention. The chances are good that this electric ATV will sell out quickly.
