Tesla has finally revealed the pricing, range, trims, and other specifications of the Cybertruck at its delivery event at Gigafactory Texas today, as it handed over the first units to customers on Thursday afternoon.
After four years, Tesla finally made the first deliveries of the Cybertruck in what will be remembered as a historic day for the automaker. Now that the event is official, we finally have concrete details on how much the Cybertruck costs, what its range is, the trim levels it decided to roll with for the early builds, and other important specs that customers have waited for.
Tesla Cybertruck Pricing and Trims
The Cybertruck was initially priced at $39,990, $49,990, and $69,990 across Single, Dual, and Tri-Motor trim levels when it was first unveiled four years ago. Since then, a lot has changed.
Now, Tesla is rolling with [trim levels], and they are priced as follows:
- Tri-Motor “Cyberbeast” – $99,990
- Dual-Motor All-Wheel-Drive – $79,990
- Rear-Wheel-Drive – $60,990
This is more than what was initially unveiled, but it is understandable considering macroeconomic changes in the four years since. Additionally, Tesla still was able to offer its pickup at a pricing point that is highly competitive with other electric pickups on the market.
Tesla Cybertruck Range
Range was perhaps the biggest and most anticipated factor for many potential Cybertruck buyers. Early on, Tesla claimed the Cybertruck would have 500 miles of range with its Tri-Motor configuration, 300 miles with the Dual Motor, and 250 miles on the Single Motor.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen some interesting range estimations based on those who have gotten their hands on the truck. Yesterday, the Tesla community was mulling over MKBHD’s Cybertruck cabin image that showed 265 miles of range with one of the ten indicators shaded out, meaning it had between 81 and 90 percent of its range remaining.
However, Tesla confirmed that the range will be the following:
- Tri-Motor “Cyberbeast” – 320 miles (+Range Extender to 440+ miles)
- Dual-Motor All-Wheel-Drive – 340 miles (+Range Extender to 470+ miles)
- Rear-Wheel-Drive – 250 miles
Other Specs and Features
Tesla developed an in-house stainless steel alloy that was designed to be incredibly durable and cannot be bent. Tesla showed its strength by releasing the video of numerous firearms attempting to penetrate the vehicle’s body, which it was able to deflect, protecting all of those who will sit inside of it.

The Cybertruck has an 11,000-pound towing capacity, which Tesla flexed by showing video of it hauling SpaceX equipment. Additionally, the bed is covered with strong composite materials and does not need a liner, Musk said.
The Cybertruck also completed a 40,000-pound pull at 318 feet, beating a Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Ford F-350 Diesel.

Tesla also added adjustable ride height features to “drive over basically anything,” and thanks to its 17-inch ground clearance, the pickup has “insane off-roading capability.”
Steer-by-wire was also added as a capability, making driving easier in tight spaces. Steer-by-wire has high capability, low-speed maneuverability thanks to the addition of this feature.
In terms of performance, Tesla put the Cybertruck up against a brand new 2023 Porsche 911 to test the pickup’s quarter-mile capability. The Cybertruck was able to beat the vehicle while towing another Porsche 911 simultaneously, an impressive feat in terms of speed, acceleration, and power.

Acceleration metrics are listed as:
- Tri-Motor “Cyberbeast” – 0-60 MPH in 2.6 seconds
- Dual-Motor All-Wheel-Drive – 0-60 MPH in 3.9 seconds
- Rear-Wheel-Drive – 0-60 MPH in 6.5 seconds

Tesla Cybercab tests are going on overdrive with production-ready units
Tesla is ramping its real-world tests of the Cybercab, with multiple sightings of the vehicle being reported across social media this week.
Tesla is ramping its real-world tests of the Cybercab, with multiple sightings of the autonomous two-seater being reported across social media this week. Based on videos of the vehicle that have been shared online, it appears that Cybercab tests are underway across multiple states.
Recent Cybercab sightings
Reports of Cybercab tests have ramped this week, with a vehicle that looked like a production-ready prototype being spotted at Apple’s Visitor Center in California. The vehicle in this sighting was interesting as it was equipped with a steering wheel. The vehicle also featured some changes to the design of its brake lights.
The Cybercab was also filmed testing at the Fremont factory’s test track, which also seemed to involve a vehicle that looked production-ready. This also seemed to be the case for a Cybercab that was spotted in Austin, Texas, which happened to be undergoing real-world tests. Overall, these sightings suggest that Cybercab testing is fully underway, and the vehicle is really moving towards production.
Production design all but finalized?
Recently, a near-production-ready Cybercab was showcased at Tesla’s Santana Row showroom in San Jose. The vehicle was equipped with frameless windows, dual windshield wipers, powered butterfly door struts, an extended front splitter, an updated lightbar, new wheel covers, and a license plate bracket. Interior updates include redesigned dash/door panels, refined seats with center cupholders, updated carpet, and what appeared to be improved legroom.
There seems to be a pretty good chance that the Cybercab’s design has been all but finalized, at least considering Elon Musk’s comments at the 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting. During the event, Musk confirmed that the vehicle will enter production around April 2026, and its production targets will be quite ambitious.

Tesla gets a win in Sweden as union withdraws potentially “illegal” blockade
As per recent reports, the Vision union’s planned anti-Tesla action might have been illegal.
Swedish union Vision has withdrawn its sympathy blockade against Tesla’s planned service center and showroom in Kalmar. As per recent reports, the Vision union’s planned anti-Tesla action might have been illegal.
Vision’s decision to pull the blockade
Vision announced the blockade in early December, stating that it was targeting the administrative handling of Tesla’s facility permits in Kalmar municipality. The sympathy measure was expected to start Monday, but was formally withdrawn via documents sent to the Mediation Institute and Kalmar Municipality last week.
As noted in a Daggers Arbete report, plans for the strike were ultimately pulled after employer group SKR highlighted potential illegality under the Public Employment Act. Vision stressed its continued backing for the Swedish labor model, though Deputy negotiation manager Oskar Pettersson explained that the Vision union and IF Metall made the decision to cancel the planned strike together.
“We will not continue to challenge the regulations,” Petterson said. “The objection was of a technical nature. We made the assessment together with IF Metall that we were not in a position to challenge the legal assessment of whether we could take this particular action against Tesla. Therefore, we chose to revoke the notice itself.”
The SKR’s warning
Petterson also stated that SKR’s technical objection to the Vision union’s planned anti-Tesla strike framed the protest as an unauthorized act. “It was a legal assessment of the situation. Both for us and for IF Metall, it is important to be clear that we stand for the Swedish model. But we should not continue to challenge the regulations and risk getting judgments that lead nowhere in the application of the regulations,” he said.
Vision ultimately canceled its planned blockade against Tesla on December 9. With Vision’s withdrawal, few obstacles remain for Tesla’s long-planned Kalmar site. A foreign electrical firm completed work this fall, and Tesla’s Careers page currently lists a full-time service manager position based there, signaling an imminent opening.
Tesla Semi Program Director Dan Priestly teased the major improvements to the all-electric Class 8 truck on Thursday night, following the company’s decision to overhaul the design earlier this year.
Priestley said he drove the Semi on Thursday, and the improvements appear to be welcomed by one of the minds behind the project. “Our customers are going to love it,” he concluded.

The small detail does not seem like much, but it is coming from someone who has been involved in the development of the truck from A to Z. Priestley has been involved in the Semi program since November 2015 and has slowly worked his way through the ranks, and currently stands as the Director of the program.
Tesla Semi undergoes major redesign as dedicated factory preps for deliveries
Tesla made some major changes to the Semi design as it announced at the 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting that it changed the look and design to welcome improvements in efficiency.
Initially, Tesla adopted the blade-like light bar for the Semi, similar to the one that is present on the Model Y Premium and the Cybertruck.
Additionally, there are some slight aesthetic changes to help with efficiency, including a redesigned bumper with improved aero channels, a smaller wraparound windshield, and a smoother roofline for better aero performance.
All of these changes came as the company’s Semi Factory, which is located on Gigafactory Nevada’s property, was finishing up construction in preparation for initial production phases, as Tesla is planning to ramp up manufacturing next year. CEO Elon Musk has said the Semi has attracted “ridiculous demand.”
The Semi has already gathered many large companies that have signed up to buy units, including Frito-Lay and PepsiCo., which have been helping Tesla test the vehicle in a pilot program to test range, efficiency, and other important metrics that will be a major selling point.
Tesla will be the Semi’s first user, though, and the truck will help solve some of the company’s logistics needs in the coming years.
