After years of memes, delays, and speculation, the Tesla Cybertruck is finally in customer hands. Tesla’s first delivery event took place at Gigafactory Texas, with Elon Musk delivering the first 10 Cybertrucks to customers in a typically theatrical fashion. The production version is polarising — still unmistakably wedge-shaped, all stainless steel exoskeleton, and unlike anything else on the road.
The top-spec Cyberbeast variant delivers 845 miles of towing range and a 0-60mph time of under 2.7 seconds — making it the fastest pickup truck ever made. The 48V electrical architecture is a genuine engineering advancement, enabling thinner wiring, higher efficiency, and a platform Tesla says will underpin future vehicles.
Range is where the Cybertruck is more modest: EPA ratings of 320 miles for the AWD and 250 miles for the Cyberbeast (the performance model’s power consumption is punishing). Pricing starts at $60,990 for the AWD Foundation Series. The stainless steel body — which Tesla says eliminates the need for painting — remains controversial but undeniably attention-grabbing.
Love it or mock it, the Cybertruck is real and it’s here. The EV pickup war just got much more interesting.
