In 2019, the company planned for its cheapest version to cost $39,900, and have a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and more than 250 miles of range. The production vehicle dimensions have also been reduced by about 5% from the prototype shown four years ago, making it slightly smaller than the Ford F-150 Lightning. The company was planning on three variants, but the prices, towing and range have since changed. The numbers above differ from the original specs first shared by Musk at the Cybertruck debut event in 2019. Which means that middle tier variant with a range extender probably won’t. Either way, any EV truck or SUV priced above $80,000 won’t qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. It’s meant for very long trips or towing heavy things up mountains.” He said the range extender will be an “optional pack that fits in about 1/3 of the truck bed. After the event, Musk did take to X, formerly Twitter, to give a slightly less opaque explanation. But Tesla provides no other details about the range extender or the pricing. The company is also going to offer a range extender that will push the all-wheel drive version to an estimated 470 miles and the Cyberbeast to more than 440 miles of range. Both of these versions have a claimed towing capacity of 11,000 pounds. The Cyberbeast comes with an estimated 320-mile range model with 845 horsepower that can travel 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds, can hit a top speed of 130 mph, and comes with estimated $99,990 price tag. The all-wheel drive variant has an estimated 340-mile range, top speed of 112 mph and $79,990 starting price. A few reviews, including one from Marques Brownlee, have been far more illuminating than what Musk or the official Tesla website have shared. And what other details were shared, were scant. The tl dr: the Cybertruck is a lot more expensive than the targets Musk shared in 2019. Looking beyond some of the flashier features - it’s bullet proof - here’s everything we know so far. The Tesla Cybertruck deliveries come at least six years since Musk first tweeted about building a truck and four years since he debuted the futuristic-looking pickup. But the event still had all the traditional trappings one has come to expect from Tesla: the pomp and pumpy music, VIP guests and, of course, Musk. The livestreamed portion of the Tesla Cybertruck delivery event was a short affair - around 30 minutes. With dubstep as the soundtrack and neon lighting as the backdrop, Elon Musk handed the first Cybertrucks over to a select group of customers that included Reddit co-founder and VC fund Seven Seven Six founder Alexis Ohanian and Trousdale Ventures founder and CEO Phillip Sarofim.
