Tesla Cybertruck: which version to buy
Buy the Tesla Cybertruck AT (845 hp) if the numbers that matter are 0–100 km/h and top speed; buy the Tesla Cybertruck AT (600 hp) if you want the same Pickup double-cab, the same AWD, the same Automatic gearbox, and the same 132 mm ground clearance without the extra 245 hp.
Buy the Tesla Cybertruck AT (845 hp) if the numbers that matter are 0–100 km/h and top speed; buy the Tesla Cybertruck AT (600 hp) if you want the same Pickup double-cab, the same AWD, the same Automatic gearbox, and the same 132 mm ground clearance without the extra 245 hp. Both versions sit in 1 generation, both start in 2021, both remain in production (`stop` is not measured), and both are named AT in the catalogue — they are not interchangeable: 600 hp / 441 kW versus 845 hp / 621 kW is the only way to tell them apart.
There is one generation, not a choice between generations. The buying question is which of the two AT lines inside that generation matches the job.
Generations: what 1 generation actually offers
1 generation (from 2021-01-01, still current) is a Pickup double-cab with 2 versions, both labelled AT. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation, so there is no second generation to “wait for” in this dataset.
What 1 generation does not split: body (Pickup double-cab on both), drive (AWD on both), gearbox type (Automatic on both), fuel (Electro on both), engine type (Electro on both), ground clearance (132 mm on both), front brakes (Ventilated disc on both), rear brakes (Disc ventilated on both). What it does split: peak power, 0–100 km/h, top speed, and suspension type (Independent, spring on the 600 hp AT; Independent, pneumatic on the 845 hp AT).
If you are comparing “this generation versus the last,” the arithmetic is empty: `pokoleniy` is 1. The comparison that exists is AT 600 hp versus AT 845 hp.
Specs: Tesla Cybertruck AT 600 hp vs AT 845 hp
Exact catalogue names: both versions are AT. Distinguish them by power.
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (600 hp) | 600 | 441 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | AWD |
| AT (845 hp) | 845 | 621 | not measured | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | AWD |
Power gap: 845 − 600 = 245 hp (845 / 600 ≈ 1.41, about 41% more peak horsepower on the stronger AT). In kilowatts: 621 − 441 = 180 kW (621 / 441 ≈ 1.41, the same ratio). Peak torque in Nm is not measured on either AT, so you cannot rank them by twist, only by the hp/kW figures given.
Displacement is not measured on either AT, so power per litre cannot be calculated from this dataset. Cylinders, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured; do not invent an engine architecture. Fuel and engine type on both lines are Electro. Gearbox on both is Automatic; number of gears is not measured. Drive on both is AWD — there is no RWD or 4WD alternative in the table.
Performance and economy: 0–100, top speed, mpg
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City | Highway | Combined | Tank | CO2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT (600 hp) | 4.1 s | 180 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| AT (845 hp) | 2.8 s | 210 km/h | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
Sprint: 4.1 − 2.8 = 1.3 seconds quicker to 100 km/h on AT (845 hp). Relative to the 600 hp AT, 2.8 / 4.1 ≈ 0.68, so the stronger AT uses about 32% less time to 100 km/h.
Top speed: 210 − 180 = 30 km/h more on AT (845 hp). 210 / 180 ≈ 1.17, about 17% higher peak speed.
Fuel consumption (city, highway, mixed) is not measured on either AT. MPG, kWh/100 km, and range are not in this dataset. Tank volume is not measured. CO2 and eco class are not measured. If the buying reason is “which Cybertruck uses less energy,” this catalogue does not measure that; the measured difference is speed, not economy.
Dimensions and weight: what is measured, what is not
Kerb weight is not measured on AT (600 hp) and not measured on AT (845 hp). Gross weight is not measured on either. Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated. Wheel sizes are not measured on either AT. Fuel tank is not measured.
Ground clearance is measured and identical: 132 mm on both AT lines. The 245 hp gap does not buy extra millimetres of clearance in this data.
Suspension is the other hardware split that is measured:
- AT (600 hp): front Independent, spring; rear Independent, spring.
- AT (845 hp): front Independent, pneumatic; rear Independent, pneumatic.
Brakes are the same labels on both: front Ventilated disc, rear Disc ventilated.
If the question is “which version is lighter / heavier / larger,” the answer from this dataset is: kerb mass, gross mass, and wheel size are not measured. The only shared, measured chassis figure here is 132 mm clearance.
Reliability and problems: what this catalogue does not list
This dataset does not list failure rates, warranty claims, common problems, or reliability scores for Tesla Cybertruck AT (600 hp) or AT (845 hp). Those topics cannot be ranked from the numbers given. What can be ranked is power, acceleration, top speed, and suspension type.
Which version to choose
Choose AT (600 hp) when the job is a Pickup double-cab with Electro power, Automatic gearbox, AWD, 600 hp / 441 kW, 4.1 s to 100 km/h, 180 km/h top speed, 132 mm clearance, and Independent, spring suspension front and rear. You give up 245 hp, 180 kW, 1.3 s of 0–100 time, 30 km/h of top speed, and Independent, pneumatic suspension. You do not give up body type, drive, gearbox type, fuel type, or clearance — those match the stronger AT.
Choose AT (845 hp) when the same Pickup double-cab must also be the faster of the two measured lines: 845 hp / 621 kW, 2.8 s to 100 km/h, 210 km/h, AWD, Automatic, Electro, 132 mm clearance, and Independent, pneumatic suspension front and rear. Relative to AT (600 hp) that is +41% peak power, −1.3 s to 100 km/h, +30 km/h top speed, and a change from Independent, spring to Independent, pneumatic. Clearance stays 132 mm; there is no extra ground clearance in the upgrade.
Do not choose by generation. 1 generation is the only generation. There is no older Cybertruck generation in this catalogue to buy “because it is simpler,” and no newer generation to wait for.
Do not choose by displacement, cylinders, or litres. Displacement, cylinders, layout, and boost are not measured. Power-per-litre ranking is not possible.
Do not choose by weight or mpg. Kerb weight, gross weight, tank, city/highway/combined consumption, and CO2 are not measured. Weight-per-hp and economy ranking are not possible.
Do not choose by price. Prices are not in this dataset, so “what the extra money buys” can only be stated in measured spec deltas: 245 hp, 180 kW, 1.3 s, 30 km/h, and Independent, pneumatic instead of Independent, spring — not in currency.
If both AT names look the same in a listing, match the horsepower figure: 600 hp is the spring-suspension, 4.1 s / 180 km/h line; 845 hp is the pneumatic-suspension, 2.8 s / 210 km/h line. Using the name AT alone is not enough; the catalogue uses that string twice.
Short rule from the arithmetic: same body, same AWD, same Automatic, same 132 mm, same Electro label — the 845 hp AT is the performance and pneumatic-suspension pick; the 600 hp AT is the pick if 4.1 s and 180 km/h already cover the use and Independent, spring is acceptable. Everything else that usually decides a truck (payload, range, mpg, kerb weight, wheel size, tank) is not measured here and cannot be used as a tie-breaker.
