Following the exciting delivery of these electric wonders to their new owners, Tesla spilled the details on what makes the Cybertruck stand out. Here’s the lowdown on the various versions:
- Cyberbeast: This is the top-of-the-line model, boasting a price tag of over $96,000. It’s a speed demon, going from 0 to 60 in an impressive 2.6 seconds and hitting a top speed of 130 MPH. However, it does have a slightly shorter range at 320 miles. The Cyberbeast can also tow an impressive 11,000 lbs. If you’re eyeing this beauty, you can expect delivery in 2024.
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Positioned as the middle-ground option, the AWD Cybertruck comes with a price tag of around $69,000. It accelerates from 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 112 MPH. With the longest range among Tesla trucks at 340 miles and a towing capacity of 11,000 lbs, the AWD model is set to hit the roads in 2024.
- Rear-Wheel Drive: For those on a budget, the Rear-Wheel Drive Cybertruck is estimated to cost just under $50,000 and is slated for delivery in 2025. It takes a bit longer to hit 60 – 6.5 seconds, almost 2 seconds slower than the base Model Y. With a range of 250 miles, information on towing capabilities is a bit scarce.
After years of delays, the Cybertruck has finally become a reality, and it even comes equipped with bulletproof glass! The full scoop on how it handles will become clearer as more of these high-tech trucks hit the roads in the coming year. Get ready for the future on wheels!
