4 years After is debut, Tesla finally delivered the long-awaited Cybertruck
Tesla Cybertruck has finally reached its first batch of customers. The truck was delivered to about a dozen people during a lavish event at the company’s headquarters in Austin, Texas, at which Elon Musk predicted the truck would usher in a new, more exciting future.
The company also provided updated details about the pricing, range, and features for the truck, much of which has changed significantly from the originally announced numbers. The rear-wheel drive version of the electric truck will start at $60,990 — up from the original price of $39,900 in 2019 which will get 250 miles of range on a full charge. That version won’t be available until 2025.
Coming sooner — 2024, Tesla’s order page states optimistically — will be the dual-motor and tri-motor “Cyberbeast” versions. The AWD Cybertruck will start at $79,990, get 340 miles, hit 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds, and do a top speed of 112 mph. And the tri-motor trim will run you $99,990, produce a ridiculous 845 horsepower with 10,296 lb-ft of torque, and get around 320 miles of range.
The interior comes with the massive 18.5 inch infinity touchscreen in the front and another 9.4 inch touchscreen at the back which also includes a 2 subwoofers and distributed amplifiers. We can even chage out phones and laptops with a wireless fast charging, an 65W USB-C and an 120/240V outlet.
Tesla calls one of it's feature as Bioweapon defense mode, which has a builtin hospital grade HEPA filter which provides protection against Airborne particles.
The angular, stainless steel electric truck has long fascinated fans of Tesla, but its many delays have led some to question whether the truck would ever actually arrive. The production has reportedly been extremely challenging for the company, mostly due to the choice to use ultra-hard stainless steel for the exterior. Musk insisted the truck be bulletproof, which further complicated the process.
Tesla also offers a range extender into the cybertruck's bed which could offer a 470+ miles of total range and this extender seems to be a optional add-on.
Much of the industry has shifted to bigger vehicles in recent decades, with trucks in particular making up some of the bestselling models. The companies make a lot of them, they sell a lot, and then they reap the profits. Tesla does not seem poised to reap the same benefits from the Cybertruck.
