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 has reportedly pushed the unveiling of the Roadster once again, but there are also evidently new details about the event that the company plans to show off.
The Information reported this morning that Tesla will now unveil, for the second time, the next-generation Roadster in August, a further delay from the multiple timeline that the company had previously stated.
The report has not been confirmed or denied by Tesla at any capacity.
It also states the unveiling event will take place in Texas, the same place that Tesla executives revealed in May would be the place of manufacture for the company’s highly-anticipated supercar, which boasts a top speed of over 250 MPH and 650 miles of range, according to its website.
Tesla is also expected to showcase the SpaceX package, which will be used for faster acceleration and potentially hovering capabilities, at the unveiling event, the report states. Musk has always planned for this to happen, but now it seems it is more realistic than ever

The Roadster has had its unveiling date and manufacturing date pushed back on many occasions. It was set to start production in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic crippled supply chain operations, forcing Tesla to push its timeline back considerably.
However, COVID has been over for some time, and Tesla has still not managed to successfully schedule and execute an unveiling event, which is something fans and enthusiasts, as well as those who have put down a $50,000 deposit, have been waiting for.
The vehicle was close to completion last year, but Musk truly wanted Lars Moravy and Franz von Holzhausen to push the limits of the Roadster. In July of last year, Moravy said:
“Roadster is definitely in development. We did talk about it last Sunday night. We are gearing up for a super cool demo. It’s going to be mind-blowing; We showed Elon some cool demos last week of the tech we’ve been working on, and he got a little excited.”
It is important to note two things: Tesla has not confirmed these details, and the company has regularly pushed these dates back. Until Tesla sends out formal invitations with a concrete date, taking any unveiling event reports with a grain of salt is a good idea.
Tesla is offering a tasty Supercharging incentive on certain Model 3 trims, but the company has officially put a concrete end date on it, so those interested should act fast.
Tesla is offering Free Supercharging for One Year on the Model 3 Premium and Performance trims, the top two offerings of the all-electric sedan. There are three trims of the Model 3 that will have the Free Supercharging offer attached:
- Premium Rear-Wheel-Drive – $42,490
- Premium All-Wheel-Drive – $47,490
- Performance – $54,990
Tesla has now announced that this offer will expire on June 15, giving potential buyers about ten days to take advantage of the incentive.
This could be an additional incentive for car buyers to transition to electric vehicles. Many states are showing gas prices well over $4 per gallon, with the national average currently sitting at $4.22, according to AAA.
A free year of Supercharging miles would allow people to charge and travel for free, other than routine maintenance, which is already incredibly cheap compared to a gas car.

At Tesla Superchargers, peak rates, meaning prices between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., average between $0.45 and $0.60. One year of driving at an average of 12,000 miles would cost between $1,000 and $1,500 at $0.50 per kWh. It’s a pretty good deal.
Supercharging prices have also increased recently:
Many of the Superchargers in my area just had their peak rates increased from $0.44 per kWh to $0.49, $0.52, and $0.54 per kWh
If you’re looking to save on your commute/travel for the next year, this Model 3 Free Supercharging incentive might not be a bad idea https://t.co/YDwwl4xxHk pic.twitter.com/DleURW7eqa

Tesla has used Free Supercharging to move units in the past, and it’s a great strategy for those who plan to use the car for longer commutes, cross-country drives, or do not have reliable access to home charging.
It should be noted that Tesla recommends that Supercharging be used at a minimum to preserve the life of the battery, as fast-charging is more stressful on the cells.
However, some people might not have an option, so the Free Supercharging incentive could truly be a great reason for many people to charge their cars.
The Supercharging incentive is short-term, and it is pretty rare that Tesla utilizes it, so once this offer is gone, we probably will not see it on the Model 3 for some time.
Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna revealed that the Italian automaker’s future will not involve self-driving, a point that echoes that of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s — sort of.
You might be thinking, “Are you insane? Musk has been so incredibly hellbent on delivering self-driving vehicles to the public, so much so that he has even hinted that Tesla won’t need the ever-popular and widely-requested Model Y L in the U.S.”
However, when it comes to electric supercars with high-performance specs and lofty price tags, Vigna’s stance is exactly what Musk wants for Tesla’s own hypercar project, the Tesla Roadster.
🚨 Tesla Roadster vs. Ferrari Luce
Price – $250,000 vs. $640,000
Horsepower – 1,000+ vs. 1,035
0-60 MPH – 1.1s OR 1.9s vs. 2.4s
Top Speed – 250+ MPH vs. 194 MPH
Range – 620 miles vs. 280 miles https://t.co/uEgswwVLeD pic.twitter.com/XcP58ZRO6Z— TESLARATI (@Teslarati) June 5, 2026
In a new interview with Australian media outlet Drive, Vigna made it clear that Ferrari’s ambitions for the future do not involve autonomy, simply because the company’s cars are not designed for anything but manual, spirited driving.
He said:
“We will not make fully autonomous cars — loud and clear. We want the people to have fun, not the [computer] chips. We want to have a steering wheel and a man or a woman behind the steering wheel. Otherwise, why do you buy a Ferrari?”
This seems to be a reasonable assertion. Ferraris are not made for daily commutes, cross-country road trips, or bumper-to-bumper traffic. They’re made for fast, spirited driving, and many of their buyers will only put a few thousand miles on them throughout their lifetime. True, exciting, fun driving is meant to be done manually.
That is not to say Full Self-Driving or other semi-autonomous suites are not “fun,” but they are meant to take the stress out of driving. They are made for the daily commutes, the rush hour traffic, and the parking lots and garages. It’s made to take the stress out of driving.
Tesla Full Self-Driving attempts 150-mile stress test: the good and the bad
Musk had stated in an interview in early 2026 that the Roadster would also be geared toward fun, manually-controlled driving. On the Moonshots podcast with Peter Diamandis, Musk said about the Roadster:
“This is not a…safety is not the main goal. If you buy a Ferrari, safety is not the number one goal. I say, if safety is your number one goal, do not buy the Roadster…We’ll aspire not to kill anyone in this car. It’ll be the best of the last of the human-driven cars. The best of the last.”
There are cars out there that simply are meant to be driven by humans, and Ferraris and Roadsters are a few of them. Ferrari has no true advantage in developing self-driving; their cars sell at low volumes with high price tags, and their performance specs and engineering are all geared toward spirited driving.
