Power and toughness designs the new Tesla Cybertruck. It's completely different from an ordinary electric pickup. Strong angular stainless-steel design features extremely strong motors making it shine one from many. The truck is highlighted for its radical, futuristic looks, while others think it's too out of the box.
Tesla has completely changed the idea of a pickup truck. It’s not just about having lots of power (though it definitely has that)—it’s about looking at trucks in a new way. The tough exoskeleton makes it super strong, the steer-by-wire system helps with control, and the electric motor gives it crazy fast acceleration for something this big.
The Cybertruck’s range isn't the best for long trips, and its size can make parking tricky in tight spots. But it's a take on what trucks can be. Whether it becomes the new standard or just stays a unique option—only time will tell.

The Cybertruck’s stainless-steel body isn’t just for looks; it’s built for toughness. Its angular shape and massive presence make it unlike anything else on the road. The power-retractable bed cover adds security, though closing it does block the rear view.
Tesla offers two Cybertruck models:
Dual-Motor AWD – Delivers 600 horsepower, offering a great mix of power and efficiency.
Cyberbeast (Tri-Motor AWD) – Packs an impressive 834 horsepower for extreme acceleration and performance.
With an adjustable air suspension providing up to 17 inches of ground clearance, the Cybertruck is well-equipped for off-road adventures. A steer-by-wire system and rear-wheel steering improve handling, making city driving easier than expected.
For a truck of its size, the Cybertruck is incredibly fast. The dual-motor version reaches 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, while the Cyberbeast model does it in a staggering 2.6 seconds, making it the fastest pickup ever tested. Top speeds max out at 131 mph for the Cyberbeast and 113 mph for the dual-motor version.
When it comes to work, the Cybertruck holds its own. It can tow up to 11,000 pounds, and the six-by-four-foot composite cargo bed offers a 2,500-pound payload capacity. A hidden underfloor storage compartment adds even more space for gear.
Tesla estimates the dual-motor model can travel 325 miles on a full charge, while the Cyberbeast reaches 320 miles. In real-world conditions, the Cyberbeast has been tested at 250 miles per charge. Fast charging at a Tesla Supercharger adds 136 miles in just 15 minutes for the dual-motor and 128 miles for the Cyberbeast.
Tesla is also planning to release a range extender in 2025. This additional battery pack, priced at $16,000, adds 120 extra miles but requires installation at a Tesla service center.
Entering, a clean and minimalist feel welcomes you. Even though the backseat passengers might feel a bit tight due to the trailing roofline, there's plenty of space here. The frunk offers additional storage, while with the rear seats folded down, our cabin offers enough space for 22 carry-on bags.
The inside tech is as futuristic as the outside. A gigantic 18.5-inch touchscreen in the center controls just about everything, while rear-seat passengers are treated to their 9.4-inch display. There is, however, no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto typical Tesla compromise.
Tesla includes Autopilot as standard, with the option to upgrade to Full Self-Driving. While not fully autonomous yet, it does add advanced driver assistance features. Key safety highlights include:
Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
Lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist
Adaptive cruise control with lane-centering
The 2025 Cybertruck starts at $81,985 for the dual-motor AWD model, while the Cyberbeast comes in at $101,985. Warranty coverage includes:
4 years or 50,000 miles (limited warranty)
8 years or 150,000 miles (powertrain and battery)
No complimentary maintenance
The Cybertruck from Tesla is unlike any electric utility truck. Crazy speed, rugged utility, and state-of-the-art tech give it a run for its money against Rivian's R1T, Ford's F-150 Lightning, and GMC's Hummer EV. Its design may be an acquired taste, but those inclined toward high-performance electric trucks will find it difficult to look away from something with such a commanding presence
It's an excellent pick for anyone who considers themselves an adventurer or a thrill-seeker or wants something to really drive differently. It will go on to become a unique reflection of the revolution taking place in electric trucks-steeped in bold design and power performance.
Much secure, the powered tonneau cover locks, and there’s even an underfloor storage compartment for extra protection.
Surprisingly well, with up to 17 inches of ground clearance and rear-wheel steering, it’s made for rough terrain. It's not just for a city show-off.
With the right adapter, yes. It works best with Tesla Superchargers, but you can use CCS-compatible fast chargers too.
Yes, it is cheaper. As there are no oil changes or engine work needed. Just basic stuff like tire rotations and battery check-ups down the line.
Not easily, the sloped design makes traditional roof racks tricky, but Tesla or third-party brands might come up with a solution
