The original Tesla Cybertruck accelerator pedal design
Tesla has recalled the Cybertruck for an issue with the accelerator pedal that could cause it to be “trapped”, according to a notice filed with the NHTSA. The recall affects 3,878 units of the Cybertruck. Deliveries of the Cybertruck were also halted recently to perform the fix before they are delivered to customers.
According to the NHTSA notice, the Cybertruck’s accelerator pedal pad may dislodge and become trapped by the interior trim. A trapped accelerator pedal can cause the vehicle to accelerate unintentionally, increasing the risk of a crash. Tesla service will replace or repair the accelerator pedal assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in June 2024.
A Tiktok user @el.chepito1985 posted a video of what appears to be the issue. The metal cover on the pedal doesn’t appear to be attached in any way to the actual pedal so it can just slide off. There is what claimed to be an unapproved change that introduced lubricant to aid in the assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.
Having made its ASEAN debut in Thailand over the weekend, the Tesla Cybertruck has now made its appearance in Malaysia, fittingly at the Tesla Experience Centre Cyberjaya. This massive stainless steel electric pick-up truck is in the midst of its Asian tour that has already visited China, Hong Kong and Japan, and it will be on display at Tesla’s showrooms in Cyberjaya and Pavilion Damansara Heights in May.
Not that you should hold your breath for it ever to be sold here in the foreseeable future – the Cybertruck is enormous, one size larger than the already sizeable one-tonne trucks like the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton. It also hasn’t been converted to right-hand drive.
The Cybertruck has made waves thanks to its extremely angular wedge design, formed by tough stainless steel panels (dubiously claimed to be “bulletproof”) that continues to drop jaws five years after it was first shown. At the front, you’ll find a full-width light bar (the actual headlights are mounted low down in the bumper) and a short bonnet that leads into the flat windscreen and its giant single wiper.
From its peak at the top of the windscreen, the roofline then slopes dramatically down into the rear deck, which features a powered roller tonneau cover that completely obscures rearward visibility when it’s up. Other notable cues include the completely flat sides, squared-off overfenders, full-width taillights and a complete lack of door handles – you instead press a button on the B- and C-pillars to get in.
The alloy wheels measure 20 inches in diameter and are wrapped in 285/65-section Goodyear Wrangler Territory RT tyres that have been custom-made to fit the distinctive black aero covers. An issue with these covers caused them to rub against the tyre and cause excessive wear; it’s unclear whether they have been fixed.
It’s hard to overstate just how huge the Cybertruck is. Measuring 5,683 mm long, 2,032 mm wide and 1,796 mm tall, it’s 358 mm longer and 132 mm wider than a Hilux, while its humongous 3,635 mm wheelbase is 550 mm (!) longer. To give you a sense of perspective, the Tesla is over 130mm longer than a Rolls-Royce Ghost. It’s also very heavy, with a kerb weight ranging between 3,009 and 3,129 kg.
Open the tailgate and you’ll find a huge bed that measures 1,852 mm long and 1,295 mm wide, allowing you to fit 4×8 feet construction materials with the tailgate down and up to 1,591 litres of cargo with the tailgate up. Together with 91 litres of underfloor storage, a 200 litre front boot and fold-up rear cushions (that alone free up an additional 1,533 litres) and you have an overall cargo capacity of 3,421 litres – including 1,888 litres of lockable storage.
Inside, you’ll find Tesla’s typical minimalist interior with an almost yoke-like steering wheel (yes, with integrated indicator and wiper controls and no stalks), a floating centre console and not much else. The centre touchscreen now measures a massive 18.5 inches across, while a second 9.4-inch touchscreen at the back sits between the two front seats.
There’a also the usual Tesla features, including twin wireless chargers, a HEPA air filter that enables a “bioweapon defence mode,” a large glass roof and a 15-speaker sound system with twin subwoofers. Tesla is also finally offering a vehicle-to-load (V2L) function through 120- and 240-volt sockets in the bed, outputting up to 11.5kW of power.
Under the stainless steel “exoskeleton”, you’ll find an “ultra-strong” steel alloy structure claimed to offer greater stiffness than the carbon fibre McLaren P1. You also get acoustic “armour” glass said to be able to withstand a 70 mph (113 km/h) baseball fired at it – equivalent to Class 4 hail, the company says.
There are three variants available, starting with the base rear-wheel-drive model can get from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 180 km/h.
Stepping up to the all-wheel-drive model (which this Foundation Series is) adds a front motor that pushes power to 600 hp (441 kW), slashing the century sprint time to 4.3 seconds. Torque is claimed to be an insane 10,080 Nm, although that figure is at the wheels, multiplied by the ratio of the single-speed transmission. The actual figure, divided by a ratio of 15.02:1, is 671 Nm.
But the one you’ll really want is the triple-motor Cyberbeast, which pushes out a stratospheric 840 hp (630 kW) and gets to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds (with the rollout subtracted, as is typical for Tesla these days), on its way to a top speed of 209 km/h. Wheel torque is bumped up to 13,959 Nm, or 929 Nm at the motors.
Range is quoted at 402 km for the RWD model, 547 km with AWD and 515 km for the Cyberbeast. Payload capacity is 1,134 kg for the dual-motor model and 1,030 kg for the Cyberbeast, while towing capacity is rated at 4,990 kg.
The Cybertruck is also the first Tesla to feature an 800-volt architecture that should allow for higher sustained charging speeds at DC fast chargers (including Tesla’s Superchargers). It’s also the first production vehicle to come with a 48-volt electrical architecture, allowing for lower amperage and thus thinner wires.
Other features include steer-by-wire (which reduces the amount of turns lock-to-lock, finally making sense of the small steering wheel), rear-wheel steering (up to ten degrees) and air suspension that provides 305 mm of ground clearance in Normal mode and up to 443 mm in the off-road Extract mode.
Despite making its appearance here, the truck isn’t likely to be sold outside of North America and probably won’t be converted to RHD, due to a number of factors. These include the difficulty in getting the “ultra-strong” stainless steel exterior panels and razor-sharp front end to pass global pedestrian protection legislation, as well as the arduous task of ramping up production just to meet demand in the US.
Then there’s the fact that the Cybertruck won’t fit the relatively tiny roads and parking spaces outside of its home country. But what do you think – would you buy a Cybertruck as is if it were sold in Malaysia? Sound off in the comments below.
The Tesla Cybertruck has finally made its way into the hands of eager buyers who have waited for the fully electric pick-up truck since it was first announced way back in 2019. Dubbed as offering “more utility than a truck” and “faster than a sports car,” the production-spec Cybertruck is noticeably different from what was promised four years ago.
For starters, it’s a lot more expensive than what Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced then. Without federal tax credits, the Cybertruck was originally estimated to go for between USD39,900 and USD69,900 (RM186,289 and RM326,356) across three variants, which were the Single Motor RWD, Dual Motor AWD and Tri Motor AWD.
At yesterday’s customers delivery event, the company revealed the Cybertruck will still come in three variants, albeit renamed, with the base Rear-Wheel Drive variant listed at USD60,990 (RM284,756). This is followed by the All-Wheel Drive at USD79,990 (RM373,465) and finally, the range-topping Cyberbeast at a whopping USD99,990 (RM466,843).
With these figures, the Cybertruck is priced within range of other premium electric pick-up trucks that are available in the United States, namely the Rivian R1T and GMC Hummer EV, both of which are priced around the USD100,000 (RM466,890) mark in their top configurations.
Of the three variants, the Rear-Wheel Drive variant won’t be available at launch and buyers will have to wait until 2025 to get their hands on one. As for the All-Wheel Drive and Cyberbeast, these will have available in 2024. Tesla is only providing limited specifications for now, so here’s what customers will be getting for all that moolah they’ll be handing over:
Rear-Wheel Drive (single electric motor at the rear)
0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) time: 6.5 seconds
Top speed: 180 km/h (112 mph)
Range: 402 km (250 miles; estimated)
Payload capacity: 1,134 kg (2,500 lbs)
Towing capacity: 3,402 kg (7,500 lbs)
All-Wheel Drive (two electric motors; one front and one rear)
Electric motors output: 608 PS (600 hp or 441 kW) and 10,080 Nm (7,435 lb-ft; wheel torque)
0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) time: 4.1 seconds
Top speed: 180 km/h (112 mph)
Range: 547 km (340 miles; estimated); 756 km (470 miles) with range extender
DC charging: 250 kW; 219 km (136 miles) recoverable within 15 minutes
Cyberbeast (three electric motors; one front and two rear)
Electric motors output: 857 PS (845 hp or 630 kW) and 13,959 Nm (10,296 lb-ft; wheel torque)
0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) time: 2.6 seconds
Top speed: 209 km/h (130 mph)
Range: 515 km (320 miles; estimated); 708 km (440 miles) with range extender
DC charging: 250 kW; 206 km (128 miles) recoverable within 15 minutes
Payload capacity: 1,134 kg (2,500 lbs)
Towing capacity: 4,990 kg (11,000 lbs)
The Tesla Cybertruck uses an 800-volt architecture for its high-voltage battery system as well as a 48-volt low-voltage electrical system, both of which are firsts for a Tesla – the latter also makes it the first production car to do so as a 12-volt system is the standard. These higher voltage systems allow Tesla to use thinner wires (reducing materials) because power (watts) is calculated by multiplying voltage (volts) by current (amps). Electrical circuits with higher amperage ratings require thicker wires to accommodate the load, so to conduct the same amount of power without high amperage means offsetting by bumping up voltage.
Other firsts include rear-wheel steering (up to 10 degrees) and a steer-by-wire system with a pair of electric motors on the front steering rack and one at the rear. The battery pack used in the Cybertruck has a capacity of 123 kWh, spread across 1,366 of Tesla’s second-generation 4680 battery cells, which it developed.
Compared to what Musk originally promised, the production-spec Cybertruck’s payload capacity is actually 453 kg (1,000 lbs) lower. The same also applies to the towing capacity of the range topper, which has been reduced by 1,361 kg (3000 lbs), but sees its 0-96 km/h time slashed by 0.3 seconds.

The Cyberbeast is the most potent of the bunch, and the company demonstrated just how powerful it is by having it drag race a Porsche 911 while towing a 911. Tesla took a page out of GMC’s book by listing eye-watering torque figures, which actually correspond to wheel torque (motor torque multiplied through the transmission’s drive ratio), so that’s something to keep in mind.
Moving on the the mid-range All-Wheel Drive, this variant sees more changes, with its towing capacity going up by 453 kg (1,000 lbs), the top speed going down from 193 km/h (120 mph) and the 0-96 km/h time gets reduced by 0.4 seconds.
As for range, only the base option keeps to what was promised, with the All-Wheel Drive gaining an extra 64 km (40 miles) while the range-topping variant is down by 290 km (180 miles). If you’re wondering what the whole “range extender” is about, it is an dealer-installed option that Tesla offers that essentially adds another battery pack to the Cybertruck’s bed to boost range – this “EV power bank” is estimated to cost USD16,000 (RM74,768).
The electric vehicle (EV) also gets a power delivery system in its bed capable of delivering up to 11.5 kW to power tools, accessories, charge other EVs or even to directly power at home. Tesla says there is one 240-volt and two 120-volt outlets in the bed, along with two 120-volt outlets and three USB-C ports in the cabin as well as two auxiliary power connections with 2.1 kW of output.
That bed measures 1,829 mm (six feet) long and 1,219 mm (four feet) wide and contributes to a total storage volume of 1,897 litres (67 cubic feet). There’s also a lockable bed cover and with the second-row seats folded up, there’s an extra 1,529 litres (54 cubic feet) available.
Moving on to design, the Cybertruck’s shape looks pretty much unchanged from when it was first presented as a prototype and is presented with 20-inch wheels. It is a big truck, measuring in at 5,682 mm (223.7 inches) long, 2,413 mm (95 inches) wide with the side mirrors extended (2,200 mm or 86.6 inches retracted), 1,790 mm (70.5 inches) tall and with a wheelbase spanning 3,810 mm (149.9 inches).
In what Tesla calls “Extract Mode,” the Cybertruck provides 443 mm (17.44 inches) of ground clearance thanks to its adaptive air suspension system which otherwise defaults to 305 mm (12 inches) in normal mode.
The outer panels, which Tesla calls an “exoskeleton” is made up of an ultra-hard stainless-steel that the company says reduces dents, damage, long-term corrosion and is even bulletproof. On that last bit, the company posted a video (look below) of a Cybertruck withstanding gunfire from a Thompson submachine gun (also known as a Tommy gun).
Remember the “shatter-resistant glass” that shattered when Tesla designer Franz von Holzhausen threw a metal ball at back in 2019? Well, Tesla has taken the jokes and memes in stride and has now said that its armour glass can resist an impact of a baseball fired at it at a speed of 113 km/h (70 mph), which is equivalent to Class 4 hail. The glass also has acoustic properties aimed at making the cabin “as quiet as outer space,” the company added.
Moving inside, we find typical Tesla minimalism, with the main item of focus being an 18.5-inch touchscreen that is the main portal to all vehicle functions and driving information. Other features include a rectangular-shaped steering wheel, a large glass roof as well as a 9.4-inch touchscreen for rear passengers.
The kit list also includes Tesla’s Full Self-Driving suite and there’s vast range of accessories to complement each purchase. These include a deployable bed tent, paint film, a spare tyre and tool kit, all-wheel floor mats, carpet interior mats, a bottle opener, storage bins, a sunshade for the glass roof, bumper protectors, crossbars for the roof, a light bar, a tailgate ramp, cargo dividers, hooks, molle panels and a wheel cover. Just for giggles, there’s also the ‘OMFG decal’ that pokes fun at the “glass-shattering” initial unveil event.
Humour aside, what are your thoughts of the Cybertruck? Do the specs and features leave you impressed or are they short of your expectations formulated when the EV pick-up truck was first presented years ago? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Tesla’s next big launch is the Tesla Cybertruck, one that has been four years in the making since the shiny ‘doorstopper on wheels’ was unveiled to the public in 2019.
It will be officially launched on November 30, but production cars have already hit showroom floors in the North American continent. These set of photos were shared by X user @jeremyjudkins_, snapped at the Tampa, Florida showroom.
The Tesla Cybertruck’s customer delivery event will be held at Giga Texas. No pricing has been unveiled as of now, and the Tesla order page for the vehicle is still limited to US, Canada and Mexico where you can pay a US$100 deposit to make an order.
Initial specifications for the Cybertruck indicate there will be four variants, starting with the Single Motor RWD that is claimed to provide up to 400 km of range, a 0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) time of around 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h.
This is followed by the Dual Motor AWD (480 km, 4.5 seconds, 195 km/h), Tri Motor AWD (800 km, 2.9 seconds, 210 km/h) and the range-topping Quad Motor AWD (1,000 km, 2.5 seconds, 240 km/h).
During the Q3 2023 earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called producing the Tesla Cybertruck as Tesla “digging its own grave”, as building the Cybertruck at production scale came with many unique complexities and challenges such as bending full hard stainless steel and having mega 9,000-ton castings.
Tesla will finally begin customer deliveries of the Tesla Cybertruck on November 30 2023. It made this announcement earlier this morning together with their Q3 2023 earnings results release.
The Cybertruck has been a long time coming, first unveiled as a prototype way back in November 2019, so it’s been four years. Sightings of the production version increased exponentially in the middle of this year, and Tesla announced that it had built its first Cybertruck at Giga Texas in July 2023.
The customer delivery event will be held at Giga Texas as well. As of publishing time, no production specs for the Cybertruck has been officially unveiled. The Tesla order page (limited to US, Canada and Mexico) offers no details or pricing either, other than just to take a US$100 deposit to make an order.
Initial specifications for the Cybertruck indicate there will be four variants, starting with the Single Motor RWD that is claimed to provide up to 400 km of range, a 0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) time of around 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h.
This is followed by the Dual Motor AWD (480 km, 4.5 seconds, 195 km/h), Tri Motor AWD (800 km, 2.9 seconds, 210 km/h) and the range-topping Quad Motor AWD (1,000 km, 2.5 seconds, 240 km/h). All four are said to have the same payload capacity of 1,600 kg, with towing capacity ranging from 3.4 to 6.8 tonnes depending on powertrain outputs.
During the Q3 2023 earnings call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called producing the Tesla Cybertruck as Tesla “digging its own grave”. He mentions that building the Cybertruck at production scale came with many unique complexities and challenges, largely of Tesla’s own making due to the ambitious nature of the vehicle. Examples given were bending full hard stainless steel and having mega 9,000-ton castings.
He emphasised that there will be “enormous challenges” in reaching volume production with the Cybertruck. He also mentioned that making the Cybertruck cash flow positive would be a significant hurdle. According to Musk, these challenges are typical for any new vehicle program.
Musk estimated that it would take approximately a year to 18 months for the Cybertruck to become a significant positive cash flow contributor. He mentioned that while demand is high, with over a million people having reserved the car, the real challenge lies in manufacturing it at an affordable price. As such, we think that the Cybertruck will be limited to left hand drive markets only for quite some time while Tesla tries to fulfill its North American order bank.
Despite these challenges, Musk expressed immense enthusiasm for the Cybertruck, calling it potentially Tesla’s “best product ever.”
If you’ve ever wondered what the Tesla Cybertruck would look like as a police vehicle, you can stop doing so because Larry Ellison has presented just such a thing. During his Oracle CloudWorld keynote, the company co-founder and CTO unveiled his vision of a future police vehicle, and it is based on Tesla’s unconventional electric pick-up truck.
Around 54 minutes into his presentation, Ellison discussed Oracle’s cloud-based software solutions for emergency services and showed the first-generation Oracle-supported police car based on the Ford Explorer. Ellison explained that to integrate the company’s systems, a large tablet was placed on the dashboard that provided access to key functions, called it a “Tesla-like screen.”
In the slides after, he presents a Cybertruck decked out with police lights with Oracle branding and hailed it as “very safe and very fast.” More importantly, Ellison says there’s no need to add an extra screen or cameras because the Cybertruck is already equipped with such items, so Oracle simply needs to adapt its system to provide the same functions used by first responders.
Ellison also said during his presentation that the Cybertruck was his favourite and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s as well. Both individuals have known each other for some time, as Ellison was previously on Tesla’s board of directors and has a sizeable stake in the electric vehicle (EV) maker.
The Oracle co-founder noted that the company’s Cybertruck police vehicle is coming soon but did not give a tentative timeline for its availability. The first example of the electric pick-up truck rolled off the assembly line at Giga Texas back in July, but no official pricing has been announced yet. Police departments can mitigate the extra burden of equipping vehicles with additional cameras and screens by taking on the Cybertruck police vehicle, although a high asking price might put them off.
It looks like the Tesla Cybertruck will finally make its way to consumers after years of delays. On Saturday (July 15, 2023), the electric vehicle (EV) maker announced the first Cybertruck has been built at its Giga Texas plant.
The vehicle pictured, according to Electrek, is likely a production intent model designed by Tesla to establish the most efficient way of making the EV at scale. Earlier in January this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed that limited assembly will start this year with low outputs before mass production of the Cybertruck kicks off in 2024 with a target of around 375,000 units per year.
If you’re curious about the hand signal shown by some of the workers, the two fingertips resemble the angle of the Cybertruck’s roof. Further details will likely be revealed when an official debut and handover event takes place, which is expected to happen sometime in September.
This includes pricing, as we still only have figures from when the Cybertruck was first presented as a prototype way back in November 2019. At the time, the company said the pick-up truck will go on sale from 2021 and start from USD39,900 (RM181,545), going all the way up to USD69,900 (RM318,045) before options. As of last November, Tesla says it has around 1.6 million reservations for the Cybertruck.
In late June, the company brought a Cybertruck to the inaugural Electrified Cars & Coffee at the Petersen Automotive Museum, and despite being dubbed a pre-production example, it looked rather complete and ready for consumers.
The Tesla Cybertruck may very well make its official debut as a production-ready model in 2023, more than three years after it was presented as a prototype back in November 2019. At the recent and inaugural Electrified Cars & Coffee at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen rolled up in the all-electric pick-up truck to the surprise of guests at the event.
Naturally, social media was flooded with photos and videos of the Cybertruck, which provided a good look at the pick-up truck’s interior. Minimalistic and very angular in design, the Cybertruck’s cabin is headlined by a large central touchscreen that integrates all vehicle functions to virtually eliminate any physical buttons and dials.
Compared to the prototype, the yoke steering wheel is replaced with a rectangular-shaped one and the centre jump seat has been ditched in favour of a traditional centre console, which packs storage cubbies, cupholders and what appears to be a wireless phone charger. There’s also no shortage of glass on show, with a large panoramic roof and a steeply raked windscreen, while observers pointed out ventilated seats.
As for the exterior, it maintains the sharp lines and angular profile of the prototype, but with some revisions like the fitment of cameras (for driver assistance systems) and a charge port hidden away in the fender.
The main draw of the pick-up truck is the bed, which Tesla calls the “vault” on the Cybertruck. As with other electric pick-up trucks, there will be power outlets for appliances and accessories, although these don’t appear to be fitted to this car (there are covered panels for them). A powered bed tonneau cover was also demonstrated at the event.
Initial specifications for the Cybertruck indicate there will be four variants, starting with the Single Motor RWD that is claimed to provide up to 400 km of range, a 0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) time of around 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h.
This is followed by the Dual Motor AWD (480 km, 4.5 seconds, 195 km/h), Tri Motor AWD (800 km, 2.9 seconds, 210 km/h) and the range-topping Quad Motor AWD (1,000 km, 2.5 seconds, 240 km/h). All four are said to have the same payload capacity of 1,600 kg, with towing capacity ranging from 3.4 to 6.8 tonnes depending on powertrain outputs.
According to a report by Reuters, production of the Cybertruck is planned to start at the company’s Giga Texas plant at the end of this year. Those interested can reserve a unit for a fee of USD100 (RM468) but there’s no indication of retail pricing – the company said the base variant would start from just under USD40,000 (RM187k) back in 2019.
Best interior shots I’ve seen today. SO well done. -Looks very spacious! -seats appear vented -note: the button labels appear covered -dirty well used truck -the roof is transparent, as expected -no rear display!!@elonmusk does Cybertruck have its own unique UI? pic.twitter.com/Vzu7yQOsZZ
Tesla has unveiled its all-electric pick-up truck, the styling of which can be described as visionary. The Cybertruck, as it’s called, is nothing like its type designation suggests, looking like something right at home in a sci-fi movie or a Bertone design book from the ’70s.
If the looks suggest that the imposing vehicle is ready for Armageddon, the specifications agree – the Cybertruck features what the company says is an impenetrable exo-skeleton, with every component designed for superior strength and endurance.
The list is led by an Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin, and even the glass is armoured – Tesla claims that the ultra-strong glass and polymer-layered composite that is used is able to absorb and redirect impact force for improved performance and damage tolerance. The material however, didn’t fare too well during the launch event, cracking when a metal ball was thrown at it (Elon Musk said that this shortcoming will be fixed).
Fragile glass aside, the rest of the numbers continue the might parade. The Cybertruck has an operating range of more than 800 km (500 miles) on a single charge in the most efficient examples, with base versions managing more than 400 km.
It can also haul up to 1,590 kg (or 3,500 lbs) in payload and has a towing capacity of 6,350 kg (14,000 lbs) to boot. Of course, the Cybertruck is also fast, capable of doing the sprint from standstill to 96 km/h (60 mph) in just 2.9 seconds, which is supercar territory.
Design features include an adaptive, self-leveling air suspension that’s also adjustable – the system can raise and lower the vehicle by 100 mm (four inches) in either direction for easy access, especially to the vault, the description given to the 100 cubic feet of exterior, lockable storage secured by a tonneau cover that the automaker says is strong enough to stand on. Hope it’s sturdier than the glass.
Inside, the cabin seats six comfortably, with additional storage under the second-row seats. Kit includes an advanced 17-inch central touchscreen with an all-new customized user interface, as well as on-board power and compressed air, useful for those camping expeditions owners may take with the truck.
The Cybertruck will come in three variants, Single Motor Rear-Wheel Drive, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive, and Tri Motor All-Wheel Drive. In the US, pricing will start from US$39,900 (RM166,360) for the Single Motor, while that for the Dual Motor begins from US$49,500 (RM206,400). The Tri-Motor tops the list at US$69,900 (RM291,500), and ticking the self-driving option will add another US$7,000 (RM29,200) to the price tag.
The company says that the first customer deliveries of the Cybertruck will begin in late 2021, with production of the Tri Motor AWD version expected to begin in late 2022.
