Tesla Cybertruck Costs $60,990, Range-Topping Cyberbeast Gets 845 HP

Yesterday, Tesla held a delivery event- hosted by Elon Musk, of course- for the long-awaited Cybertruck. Pricing and hard specs were announced in tandem, with the base, rear-wheel drive Cybertruck starting at an estimated $60,990 MSRP before taxes, delivery, and incentives. It offers a claimed 250-mile range, a 7,500-pound towing capacity, and a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds. There is a catch. These won’t be out until 2025, and the pricing makes this a full $20,000 off the Elon’s claimed $40K price point from 2019.

Three trims are available in total, and the middling one, simply called “All-Wheel Drive” introduces just that to the lineup in the form of a dual-motor setup. The pricing and specs are both full of larger numbers, too. At an estimated $79,990, the truck claims 350 miles of range, 600 horsepower, 11,000 pounds of towing capacity, and a 4.1-second 0-60 mph time. It also cannot turn into a boat, as Musk at one point claimed.

Sitting at the top of the range is the truck’s tri-motor Cyberbeast trim. It is also set to arrive in 2024 but with a much higher estimated price of $99,990. Power output is ramped up to 845 horses, and 0-60 times fall to 2.6 seconds. Moreover, the truck claims a top speed of 130 mph, an estimated range of 320 miles on a charge, and the same 11,000-pound towing capacity as the Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive.

Cybertruck ownership comes with other benefits as well. Tesla offers an interesting “range extender,” which is an “optional pack that fits in about 1/3 of the truck bed,” per Musk on X (formerly Twitter). He says it will be able to bump the range for the AWD and Cyberbeast trims to more than 470 and 440 miles, respectively. It isn’t clear if the pack will work with the rear-drive model. Given its massive size, and surely, weight, the pack has to be installed and removed by Tesla.

Other specs were also given during the presentation by Musk himself or were made available via Tesla’s website. This includes the potential for the AWD model to add a claimed 136 miles of range in just 15 minutes of charging, and the Cyberbeast will add 128 miles in the same span of time. The truck is equipped with what appear to be 35-inch tires as standard, and the four-corner air suspension will likely work in tandem with a number of drive modes. There is mention of an “extract mode” that likely is meant to get the truck moving again on tough terrain. Other features include a powered frunk, a bed that doesn’t need a liner thanks to “sheet-molded composite,” and an integrated tow hitch. Tesla has not said when in 2024 customers can expect deliveries.
