Many were worried that Tesla's electric pickup might not fit into a residential garage. After Elon Musk confirmed that the Cybertruck would fit inside a garage, a Tesla fan finally got proof that this is indeed possible.
There are many discussions about the Tesla Cybertruck specifications, especially as Tesla remains tight-lipped. As the delivery day approaches, Tesla's secrecy is even more bizarre, considering that Cybertruck prototypes have been spotted almost everywhere. The few technical details Tesla revealed after the launch event have been removed from its website in 2021. Many saw this move as an indication that today's Cybertruck is radically different from the one whose window Franz von Holzhausen broke with a steel ball.
Elon Musk offered the first official information about the production Cybertruck's size last year when he said the truck would be about 3% smaller than the one unveiled in 2019. According to the specifications removed from Tesla's website, the original prototype was 232 inches long and 80 inches wide. This was as long as a Ford F-150 Lightning and about 20 inches longer than a Cadillac Escalade.
During the second-quarter earnings call, Tesla made another semi-official announcement about Cybertruck's size. Back then, Elon Musk said that the Cybertruck would be "the first sub-19 ft. truck (fitting into a garage) that has both four doors and 6+ ft. bed." That was not entirely true, with the Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed also fitting the description. However, the key takeaway was that the Cybertruck is at least 4 inches shorter than the original prototype and can fit into a garage.
Typically, a US residential garage made for one car is about 12 feet wide and 22 feet deep, which should provide plenty of space for the Cybertruck. Still, many garages are only 20 feet deep, which makes things a little tight for a Cybertruck owner. Sure, it fits, but you must be careful to use every inch available without hitting the wall. If you want to know how this is, a picture snapped by a resident in Sunnyvale (I assume California) shows exactly what to expect.
According to his post on X (formerly Twitter), a Cybertruck driver (presumably a Tesla employee) who lived across the street managed to park the truck inside their garage. According to @FilamStargazer, they were cautiously backing it into the garage, but they managed to squeeze it inside just deep enough to allow the garage door to close. It's not an easy fit, but it is doable, as the photo evidence shows.
Although nothing is certain, Tesla is expected to announce a date for the Cybertruck delivery event during the third-quarter earnings call tonight. People had similar expectations from the second-quarter event in July, but that doesn't mean it happened. Hopefully, the first Cybertruck pickups will get to their owners in time for the holidays.
