Tesla Cybertruck Delivery Event: Here’s What We Learned

Deliveries of the long-awaited 2024 Tesla Cybertruck have begun. The company placed a total of 10 production Cybertrucks in the hands of Tesla customers on Thursday, at the same time revealing some key specs and bragging points. Here’s what we learned from the event.

The Cybertruck will come with up to 845 horsepower in its three-motor all-wheel-drive format, dubbed Cyberbeast, with a two-motor all-wheel-drive variant boasting 600 hp. The more powerful version will sprint to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.0 seconds, a factoid that Tesla bragged about by drag-racing a Porsche 911 against the pickup which was also towing a Porsche 911. The Tesla pickup will be able to tow up to 11,000 pounds, and it will have a 2,500-pound payload rating. The 4×6-foot composite bed has a rolling tonneau cover standard.

The configurator for the Cybertruck is live, showing a cash price of $60,990 for the rear-drive variant that won’t be available till 2025. The dual-motor truck coming next year will start at $79,990, while the tri-motor Cyberbeast will cost $99,990 before options.
