Tesla Unveils Polarizing Steel Cybertruck With Three Motor Options
Tesla reveals the angular, cold-rolled steel Cybertruck, offering single, dual, and tri-motor variants with prices starting at $39,900. The futuristic truck features impressive towing capacity and acceleration, though production remains a couple of years away.
Elon Musk reveals the Tesla Cybertruck at the Tesla Design Center, presenting a futuristic, post-apocalyptic-style vehicle made of cold-rolled steel and armored glass. The audience initially gasps and expresses doubt about the unconventional design, but their enthusiasm grows as Musk shares the vehicle's impressive specifications and an unexpected ATV rollout.
Tesla offers three distinct variants of the Cybertruck to suit different needs and budgets. The single-motor rear-wheel drive model starts at $39,900 with 250 miles of range, while the dual-motor all-wheel drive version costs $49,900 and pushes the range past 300 miles with over 10,000 pounds of towing capacity.
The top-tier tri-motor all-wheel drive model costs $69,900 and delivers over 500 miles of range, 14,000 pounds of towing capacity, and a zero to sixty time of under 2.9 seconds. Customers place a $100 deposit now, but they wait until late 2021 for production to actually begin.
