TESLA CYBERTRUCK REVIEW: Tesla’s Cybertruck has caught the attention of many drivers with its polarizing design that promises a durable build and unique features.
The electric pickup, however, enters a fiercely competitive truck market, with automakers trying to one-up rivals with utility and features.
The Cybertruck has a unique trapezoidal exterior design inspired by the “Blade Runner” movie and stainless-steel alloy ex ..
RANGE
The base rear-wheel drive variant can travel an estimated 250 miles, while the all-wheel drive and “Cyberbeast” variants can travel 340 miles and 320 miles, respectively.
The top two variants can travel further with an optional range extender that takes about a third of the truck’s bed space. “It’s meant for very long trips or towing heavy things up mountains,” CEO Elon Musk said on X.
POWER
Tesla’s top-of-the-line “Cyberbeast” Cybertruck can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds, outperforming many sports cars.
Musk on Thursday showed a video of the truck trumping Porsche 911 in a drag race, while towing another unit of the sports car.
It also boasts a towing capacity of 11,000 pounds, matching Rivian’s R1T and slightly higher than Ford F-150 Lightning and GM Silverado EV’s 10,000 pounds.
BODY
The Cybertruck is the first car in the U.S. since the DMC DeLorean of “Back to The Future” fame to use a stainless steel body and it also has armor glass that can resist the impact of a baseball at 70 miles per hour or Class 4 hail.
Musk said the doors are bulletproof to .45 caliber & 9 milimeter rounds. He showed a video demonstrating the capability to the audience at the event in Austin.

Okay, so what’s the latest news about TESLA CYBERTRUCK?
According to Car and Driver, on Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said the first Cybertruck deliveries will take place on 30 November at the company’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. In other words, the truck might actually be real. Finally. Probably. Maybe. We think.
Business Insider reports that Musk said the company “dug its own grave” with the Cybertruck, saying it’ll take years for Tesla to ramp up production of its weird truck. “Special products that come along once in a long while are just incredibly difficult to bring to market to reach volume, to be prosperous,” Musk added.
So production is underway, then?
Sort of – but not in full force, anyway. It took a while for Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas to come online, but several Cybertrucks have recently been spotted with and without camouflage, InsideEVs reports.
Can you still reserve a TESLA CYBERTRUCK?
Sure can. All it takes is $100 USD – fully refundable, of course.
A week after the Cybertruck’s initial introduction, Elon Musk claimed the company already had 250,000 reservations. Independent sources now estimate there are anywhere between 1.5 million and 1.8 million people interested in buying a Cybertruck.
But how much does it actually cost?
That depends on which version you want. In the US, Tesla says the base Cybertruck will cost $39,900 USD with a single electric motor and rear-wheel drive. Stepping up from there, the dual-motor AWD version costs $49,900, and the tri-motor truck commands $69,900. None of those prices factor in a mandatory destination fee or any federal or local tax credits.
What are the specs in TESLA CYBERTRUCK?
Tesla has yet to confirm official details like horsepower, torque, or battery size, but we do know the company will sell the Cybertruck in single-, dual-, and tri-motor variants. The base version is expected to launch to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, while the dual-motor example quickens that sprint to 4.5 seconds. At the top of the range, Tesla says the tri-motor Cybertruck will be able to hit 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, which is insane, given the size of this thing. Then again, Tesla also said the Cybertruck will be able to “serve briefly as a boat“, so really, anything’s possible at this point.
When it comes time to do truck stuff, the Cyber truck is expected to be nicely equipped, able to carry 3,500 pounds in its 6.5-foot bed. Single- and dual-motor versions are estimated to be able to tow 7,500 and 10,000 pounds, respectively, while the tri-motor truck ups that figure to 14,000 pounds, which is impressive.
Cybertruck Price? Kelley Blue Book says…
Conspicuously absent from all of the excitement is a discussion about price.
Originally, price was a major talking point for CEO Elon Musk, who said it would start at $39,900. That price point is important for prospective — and highly practical — blue-collar buyers, who are not necessarily Tesla fanatics and who might be tempted to switch to an electric pickup if it’s affordable.
But Musk backed away from this in May at the Annual Shareholder meeting, saying “It’s going to be hard to make [it] affordable because it is a new car, a new manufacturing method.”
That may mean a $39,900 Cybertruck (if that was realistic to begin with) will suffer the same fate as the $25,000 vehicle that Musk used to talk about.
Original Cybertruck pricing that Tesla released in 2019:
- Single Motor RWD with 250+ miles of range, $39,900
- Dual Motor AWD with 300+ miles of range, $49,900
- Tri Motor AWD with 500+ miles of range,$69,900
I asked Matt Degen, senior editor for Kelley Blue Book, what he expects the price to be.
“We currently estimate it will start at around $50,000. That would put it right in line with the mass-market Ford F-150 Lightning (which starts at $49,995),” he told me in an email, referring to Ford’s first electric pickup.
And what about not hitting the original price target?
“I’m not surprised by the price change. Keep in mind, the same thing happened with the Lightning, to a point. When sales started it was also marketed at $40,000. And some early models may have sold around that price. But then the base price quickly increased. Then, this past summer, it decreased to what it is now,” Degen said.
