Step right into the future with the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that seems to have dropped straight out of an extraterrestrial utopia.
Donning a stainless-steel body that boasts of being bulletproof, this electric truck stands out as a symbol of sheer toughness.
Tesla Cybertruck Variants
Sporting two versions for 2024—an all-wheel-drive model with 600 horsepower and a tri-motor beast dubbed Cyberbeast, packing a whopping 845 horses—Tesla’s creation is ready to take on the giants of the pickup world.
But the competition’s fierce. Tesla’s Cybertruck steps into the ring alongside heavyweights like Ford’s F-150 Lightning, the GMC Hummer EV, and the Rivian R1T.
With Chevy’s electric Silverado and the imminent release of the Ram 1500 REV, the battleground’s heating up before it’s even set.
For now, the Cybertruck lineup revolves around the AWD and Cyberbeast, with the rear-wheel-drive model slated for a 2025 debut, starting at $60,990.
Your choice between these beasts might just come down to the depth of your pockets since details on available options are still a mystery.
Under The Hood
Under the hood, the Cybertruck boasts three powertrain options: the punchy 600-horsepower AWD model, reportedly hitting 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, and the Cyberbeast, promising an otherworldly 2.6-second dash to 60 mph with its colossal 845 horsepower.
Adding to its allure, all Cybertrucks flaunt an adjustable air suspension offering up to 17 inches of ground clearance, making it a serious off-road contender.

Tesla (and others) have taken the stance that the thousands of pounds of extra…
Towing capacity? A jaw-dropping 11,000 pounds for the AWD and Cyberbeast, while the upcoming single-motor model settles at 7,500 pounds.
Need to haul? How about 2,500 pounds in its cargo bed.
Concerned about range and charging? Tesla estimates up to 340 miles on a single charge for the AWD, and 320 miles for the Cyberbeast.
Plus, quick pit stops at a Supercharger could pump in 128 to 136 miles in just 15 minutes.
Inside, the Cybertruck mirrors Tesla’s signature minimalist style, featuring a dashboard dominated by a colossal touchscreen.
Room for six, a cavernous cargo bed, and a nifty slide-out tailgate doubling as a ramp for loading ATVs—the Cybertruck doesn’t just push boundaries; it redefines them.
| Model | Release Year | Drive | 0-60mph | Range | Top Speed | Horsepower | Towing Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Cyberbeast | 2024 | – | 2.6 sec | ~320 miles | 130mph | 845 hp | 11,000 lbs |
| Tesla Cybertruck AWD (late ’24) | 2024 | All-wheel drive | 4.1 sec | ~340 miles | 112mph | 600 hp | 11,000 lbs |
| Base Tesla Cybertruck | 2025 | Rear-wheel drive | 6.5 sec | ~250 miles | 112mph | – | 7,500 lbs |
Entertainment? An 18.5-inch touchscreen upfront and a 9.4-inch one for the rear seats. Safety-wise, expect Tesla’s Autopilot and more futuristic features to keep you secure.
Though it’s a pioneer, it doesn’t stand alone in the warranty department.
Tesla covers four years or 50,000 miles under its limited warranty, with an eight-year/150,000-mile coverage for the powertrain and battery components.
Buckle up for the Cybertruck—it’s not just a pickup; it’s a paradigm shift in the world of trucks.
