The Cybertruck is a large and wide vehicle. Tesla lists an overall width of roughly 86.6 inches with the mirrors folded and about 95 inches with them extended on some market specifications. That size gives it strong road presence and useful cabin width, but it can make parking garages, narrow roads, car washes, and residential garages more difficult to use.

Expert Tip

For most buyers, the Premium All-Wheel Drive is the version to consider first. It delivers the core Cybertruck experience with dual-motor AWD, a 325-mile EPA estimate, up to 11,000 pounds of towing capacity, and acceleration that is already quicker than most pickups. It is easier to justify than the Cyberbeast because it gives up little practical capability while costing less and offering better range.

About the Tesla Cybertruck

The Tesla Cybertruck is Tesla’s first pickup and one of the most unconventional production vehicles sold in the United States.

Tesla revealed the truck in 2019 and began customer deliveries in November 2023 after several delays. Unlike traditional pickups that use painted steel or aluminum exterior panels, the Cybertruck uses exposed stainless-steel body panels and a sharply angled exterior design.

Its main engineering features include:

Stainless-steel exterior panels
Steer-by-wire
Rear-wheel steering
Adaptive air suspension
An 800-volt-class electrical architecture
A 48-volt low-voltage system
Lockable powered bed cover
Front trunk
Job-site and household power output
Tesla navigation and Supercharger access
Over-the-air software updates

The Cybertruck competes with electric pickups such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and GMC Sierra EV, but its buyer appeal is different.

Price & Trims

Tesla does not follow the same fixed annual pricing structure as traditional truck manufacturers. Cybertruck prices and standard equipment can change during the year.

Version	Approximate Starting Price	Powertrain	Towing Position	Best For
Cybertruck AWD	About $69,990	Dual-motor AWD	Up to 7,500 lbs on lower-spec configurations	Lowest current entry price
Premium All-Wheel Drive	About $79,990	Dual-motor AWD	Up to 11,000 lbs	Best overall balance
Cyberbeast	About $99,990	Tri-motor AWD	Up to 11,000 lbs	Maximum performance

Pricing sources can differ because Tesla has revised the lineup several times. Current vehicle-order data shows the Premium AWD at $69,990, while market pricing guides commonly place the broader 2026 AWD lineup near $71,985 including destination and the Cyberbeast near $101,985 including destination.

Cybertruck AWD

The entry dual-motor AWD version is the price-focused Cybertruck.

It keeps the stainless-steel body, crew-cab layout, rear-wheel steering, steer-by-wire system, central touchscreen, rear display, Tesla navigation, and electric AWD.

Depending on the exact production configuration, it may have:

A lower towing rating
Different suspension hardware
Fewer bed or cabin features
Reduced power-outlet capability
Different wheel or tire equipment
Less included software
A lower charging specification
Different range estimates

This version is worth considering when the price gap is large, but buyers must compare the actual build sheet rather than assuming every AWD Cybertruck has the same capability.

Premium All-Wheel Drive

The Premium AWD is the strongest all-around version.

Tesla currently lists it with:

Dual-motor AWD
325 miles of EPA-estimated range
11,000-pound towing capacity
4.1-second 0–60 mph time
Premium equipment package

That combination makes it the best fit for buyers who want Cybertruck capability without paying for the Cyberbeast’s extreme acceleration.

Cyberbeast

The Cyberbeast is the tri-motor performance flagship.

Its additional rear motor gives it stronger acceleration and more aggressive performance. Tesla has claimed approximately 2.6 seconds from 0–60 mph with rollout subtracted on relevant versions.

The Cyberbeast makes sense for buyers who want the quickest Cybertruck, but it is not the strongest value for towing, payload, commuting, or road trips.

All prices exclude destination, order fees, taxes, registration, paint or exterior wraps, wheels, accessories, software purchases, insurance, charging equipment, and local incentives.

Battery, Motors, Performance & Range

The Cybertruck uses dual-motor and tri-motor all-wheel-drive configurations.

Tesla does not consistently publish battery capacity in consumer-facing material, but regulatory and technical documentation places the pack in the roughly 120-kWh class. Buyers should focus on usable range, towing range, charging speed, warranty, and real-world efficiency rather than battery size alone.

Cybertruck AWD

Item	Cybertruck AWD
Motor Layout	Dual motor
Drivetrain	All-wheel drive
EPA Range	Up to approximately 325 miles
0–60 MPH	About 4.1 seconds
Towing Capacity	7,500–11,000 lbs, depending on configuration
Best Use	Daily driving, road trips, work, and towing

The dual-motor truck is already very quick. Its acceleration is stronger than most gasoline pickups and more than adequate for merging with a trailer or passing on the highway.

Cyberbeast

Item	Cyberbeast
Motor Layout	Tri motor
Drivetrain	All-wheel drive
EPA Range	Approximately 300–320 miles
0–60 MPH	About 2.6 seconds with rollout subtracted
Towing Capacity	Up to 11,000 lbs
Best Use	Maximum performance

The Cyberbeast delivers sports-car acceleration in a full-size pickup.

That performance is impressive, but it creates practical costs. Repeated hard acceleration increases tire wear, reduces range, and places more stress on passengers and cargo.

Driving Experience

The Cybertruck drives differently from a conventional full-size pickup.

Its steer-by-wire system has no conventional mechanical steering-column connection between the steering control and the front wheels. Electronic control changes the steering ratio depending on speed and conditions.

At low speeds, the truck requires less steering movement than a conventional pickup. Rear-wheel steering also helps reduce the effective turning circle, making the Cybertruck more maneuverable than its exterior size suggests.

Steering

The steering feels very quick in parking lots and slower on highways.

This reduces hand movement during tight turns, but drivers may need time to adjust because the response is different from conventional trucks.

The absence of a direct mechanical feel may also be less appealing to drivers who prefer traditional hydraulic or electric power steering.

Ride Comfort

Adaptive air suspension gives the Cybertruck a broader range of ride height than most pickups.

The suspension can lower the truck for highway driving and raise it for rough terrain. Tesla lists up to approximately 16 inches of ground clearance in Extract Mode on relevant configurations.

Ride quality is generally more controlled than expected from the exterior design, although the truck’s heavy weight and large wheels remain noticeable over sharp road damage.

Handling

The low-mounted battery helps the Cybertruck feel more stable than a tall gas pickup.

Rear-wheel steering improves low-speed response, while the wide track helps highway stability. However, this is still a very heavy vehicle, and its limits should not be confused with those of a sports car.

Visibility

Forward visibility is broad, but the sharply sloping windshield and thick structural areas can create unusual sightlines.

Rear visibility depends heavily on cameras, especially when the powered bed cover is closed. Drivers who dislike camera-dependent reversing should test the truck carefully before buying.

Range, Charging & Efficiency

Version	Approximate EPA Range
Cybertruck AWD	Up to 325 miles
Cyberbeast	Approximately 300–320 miles

The Premium AWD’s current official configurator figure is 325 miles.

Fast Charging

The Cybertruck uses an 800-volt-class battery architecture designed to accept high charging power.

Actual charging speed depends on:

Supercharger generation
Charger voltage
Battery temperature
Starting state of charge
Battery preconditioning
Ambient temperature
Vehicle software
Battery age
Station congestion

Cybertruck can charge at Tesla Superchargers, but the fastest possible rate depends on whether the charger can fully support the truck’s higher-voltage architecture.

Charging is normally fastest at a low battery percentage and slows as the battery fills.

Home Charging

Home charging is especially important for a vehicle with a large battery.

A high-amperage Level 2 installation can replace daily use overnight, but charging from nearly empty may take much longer than it would for a smaller EV.

Buyers should check:

Electrical-panel capacity
Available amperage
Charger location
Cable length
Local electrical permits
Time-of-use utility rates
Whether Powershare equipment is included
Whether home-backup hardware requires additional installation

Real-World Range

Actual range can fall below the EPA estimate because of:

High highway speeds
Cold temperatures
Cabin heating
Strong headwinds
Heavy payload
Large off-road tires
Low tire pressure
Elevation changes
Aggressive acceleration
Mud, sand, or snow
Roof-mounted equipment
Towing

Towing Range

Towing can reduce electric-truck range significantly.

Tesla’s owner manual directly warns that towing places additional load on the motors, drivetrain, brakes, tires, and suspension and significantly decreases range.

The size and shape of the trailer may matter as much as its weight. A tall enclosed trailer creates more aerodynamic drag than a lower open trailer.

Buyers who tow regularly should plan around:

Shorter charging intervals
Charger access with a trailer attached
Trailer parking at charging sites
Cold-weather losses
Additional reserve range
Charging stations near work or towing routes

0–60 MPH Acceleration

Version	Approximate 0–60 MPH	Character
Cybertruck AWD	About 4.1 seconds	Very quick for a full-size pickup
Cyberbeast	About 2.6 seconds	Supercar-level acceleration

The dual-motor Cybertruck is already faster than many sport sedans.

The Cyberbeast’s acceleration is a technical achievement, but buyers should ask whether that ability is worth paying more for when towing, payload, bed utility, and cabin space are similar.

Bed, Payload, Towing & Work Capability

The Cybertruck uses a lockable composite cargo bed that Tesla calls the vault.

Tesla lists the bed at approximately 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, large enough to carry standard 4-by-8-foot sheet material with the tailgate positioned appropriately.

Bed Features

Depending on version and equipment, features may include:

Powered tonneau cover
Composite bed surface
LED bed lighting
Tie-down points
Integrated power outlets
Under-bed storage
Powered tailgate
Adjustable air suspension
Onboard air-related functions
Accessory mounting points

The powered cover adds security and weather protection, but it also creates another motorized component that should be tested carefully on used vehicles.

Payload

Tesla advertises payload capacity near 2,500 pounds on higher-capability specifications. Actual payload varies with trim, options, wheels, accessories, and vehicle weight.

The door-jamb payload label on the exact truck is the correct figure to follow.

Passengers, accessories, cargo, and trailer tongue weight all reduce remaining payload. Tesla’s loading guidance explains that available cargo capacity changes with the number and weight of occupants.

Towing

Tesla’s owner documentation lists maximum towing capacities of 7,500 or 11,000 pounds depending on version.

A Tesla inventory listing confirms an available Class IV steel tow bar, integrated trailer brake controller, and towing capacity up to 11,000 pounds on properly equipped vehicles.

For safe towing, buyers must account for:

Trailer tongue weight
Payload limit
Passenger weight
Cargo in the bed
Tire load rating
Brake-controller setup
Hitch equipment
Reduced range
Charging access

Interior, Comfort & Technology

The Cybertruck has a wide, minimalist cabin designed around a large center touchscreen.

Tesla lists seating for five adults, an 18.5-inch center display, and a 9.4-inch rear passenger display.

Depending on configuration, equipment may include:

18.5-inch center touchscreen
9.4-inch rear display
Wireless phone charging
USB-C ports
Heated seats
Ventilated front seats
Multi-zone climate control
HEPA filtration
Large glass roof
Premium audio
Ambient lighting
Phone key
Sentry Mode
Dog Mode
Camp Mode
Over-the-air software updates
Navigation with charging-stop planning
Power-adjustable front seats
Rear-seat climate and entertainment controls

Front-Seat Comfort

The front cabin is broad and open.

The flat floor and wide body create generous shoulder room, while the high seating position gives drivers a commanding view forward.

The large windshield creates an unusual cabin atmosphere, but heat and glare management may matter in sunny climates.

Rear-Seat Comfort

The rear bench seats three adults and provides a flat floor.

Rear passengers get a dedicated display for media, climate, and other functions. The upright pickup shape gives useful headroom, although rear-seat comfort should still be compared with crew-cab versions of the Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevrolet Silverado EV.

Controls

Most vehicle functions are controlled through the center touchscreen or steering-wheel controls.

The clean design looks modern, but drivers who prefer physical buttons for climate, mirrors, drive modes, and truck settings may find the interface less convenient.

The Cybertruck does not use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Dimensions & Practicality

Measurement	Approximate Figure
Seating Capacity	5
Bed Length	6 feet
Bed Width	4 feet
Maximum Towing	11,000 lbs
Maximum Payload	About 2,500 lbs
Ground Clearance	Up to about 16 inches
Center Display	18.5 inches
Rear Display	9.4 inches
Width With Mirrors Folded	About 86.6 inches
Width With Mirrors Extended	About 95 inches

The Cybertruck’s width is one of its biggest practical concerns.

Before buying, measure:

Garage-door width
Interior garage width
Parking-space width
Residential driveway clearance
Workplace parking
Public charging bays
Car-wash limits

The truck’s front trunk, bed, rear underfloor storage, and cabin provide strong overall utility, but its exterior dimensions can make urban ownership difficult.

Off-Road Capability

The Cybertruck includes hardware intended for off-road driving.

Depending on configuration, features may include:

Adaptive air suspension
High ground clearance
All-wheel drive
Locking differential functions
Rear-wheel steering
Terrain modes
Wade Mode
Underbody protection
Camera-based trail views

Tesla’s documentation describes Wade Mode and warns owners to follow specific depth, speed, and time limits when driving through water.

The Cybertruck can handle rough roads, sand, mud, snow, and moderate trails, but its size and weight remain limitations.

It is not ideal for:

Tight forest trails
Narrow mountain routes
Soft ground where weight matters
Areas without recovery access
Routes where body width is a major constraint

The Rivian R1T is generally easier to place on narrow trails, while conventional off-road trucks may offer broader aftermarket support and simpler field repairs.

Safety Features & Ratings

The Cybertruck includes camera-based driver assistance and collision-avoidance technology.

Common features may include:

Automatic emergency braking
Forward collision warning
Blind-spot monitoring
Lane-departure avoidance
Lane-centering support
Adaptive cruise control
Driver monitoring
Parking cameras
Automatic high beams
Speed-limit display
Trailer-related assistance
Stability and traction control
Optional Full Self-Driving capability

Full Self-Driving requires active driver supervision. It does not make the Cybertruck autonomous, and the driver remains responsible for the vehicle.

NHTSA lists a 2026 Cybertruck vehicle page, but published crash-test ratings may not cover every current configuration. Buyers should check the latest official record for the exact model year.

Recalls

Cybertruck has been affected by several recalls since production began.

A 2026 recall covers certain 2024–2026 Cybertrucks equipped with 18-inch steel wheels because brake-rotor stud holes could crack under severe road impacts or cornering loads.

Another recall covered certain 2024–2026 vehicles with software that could command front parking lights to operate above the permitted brightness level. Tesla addressed that issue through a software update.

Recall applicability depends on production date, wheels, hardware, software version, and VIN.

Safety disclaimer: For official crash-test ratings and safety evaluations, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety websites.

Reliability & Ownership

The Cybertruck has fewer routine powertrain service items than a gasoline pickup, but it is not a simple or inexpensive vehicle.

There are no engine-oil changes, spark plugs, fuel-system services, emissions checks, or conventional transmission services.

Potential ownership costs include:

Large tires
Wheel alignment
Suspension components
Powered tonneau-cover repairs
Steering or electronic hardware
Glass
Stainless-steel panel repair
Cameras and sensors
Climate system
Charging hardware
Insurance
Collision repairs
High-voltage battery components

Warranty

Warranty	Coverage
Basic Vehicle	4 years / 50,000 miles
Supplemental Restraint System	5 years / 60,000 miles
Battery and Drive Unit	8 years / 150,000 miles
Battery Capacity Guarantee	Minimum 70% retention
Body Rust Perforation	12 years / unlimited miles

Tesla covers the Cybertruck battery and drive unit for eight years or 150,000 miles, with a minimum 70% battery-capacity-retention guarantee during the warranty period.

Stainless-Steel Exterior

The exposed stainless-steel panels are one of the Cybertruck’s defining features.

They eliminate conventional paint, but they can show:

Fingerprints
Water spots
Surface contamination
Scratches
Uneven reflections
Repair differences after body work

Owners should follow Tesla’s cleaning guidance and avoid assuming the panels are maintenance-free.

Collision repair can also be difficult because panel replacement, alignment, finishing, and surrounding component damage may require specialist work.

Tires and Wheels

The Cybertruck is heavy, powerful, and capable of carrying or towing large loads.

Those factors can accelerate tire wear.

When replacing tires, owners must use the correct load rating. Tesla’s tire guidance warns that replacement tires must match the required load range, particularly when towing.

Insurance

Insurance can be expensive because of:

High vehicle value
Strong acceleration
Stainless-steel body repair
Large glass areas
Cameras and sensors
Limited repair facilities
Specialized steering and suspension
High parts and labor costs

Obtain an insurance quote before placing an order.

Should You Buy the Tesla Cybertruck?

You should buy the Tesla Cybertruck if you want an electric pickup with rapid acceleration, a secure cargo bed, useful towing capability, modern charging access, and a design unlike anything else on the road.

The Premium All-Wheel Drive is the best version for most buyers. It gives you the 325-mile EPA estimate, 11,000-pound towing capability, strong acceleration, and a fuller equipment package without moving into Cyberbeast pricing.

The lower-priced AWD makes sense when price matters most, but buyers should verify what equipment and towing capability are included.

The Cyberbeast is for buyers who specifically want maximum acceleration. It is not the best value for work, road trips, or normal family use.

Consider the Ford F-150 Lightning if you want a familiar pickup layout, established truck accessories, and Ford dealer support. Consider the GMC Sierra EV if you want a more luxurious conventional pickup cabin.

Consider a gasoline or diesel truck if you tow heavy trailers over long distances and cannot plan charging stops around the trailer.
