Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast AWD

The Tesla Cybertruck emerged as one of the most polarizing vehicles in automotive history when Elon Musk unveiled it in November 2019 with its radical angular design rendered in unpainted stainless steel. Deliveries finally began in late 2023 after years of delays and speculation about whether the production version would soften the concept's extreme styling — it did not. The Cyberbeast AWD variant sits atop the range with three electric motors producing a combined 845 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds — making it one of the quickest accelerating production vehicles ever built, regardless of body style. The exoskeleton body uses Ultra-Hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel originally developed for SpaceX rockets, which is resistant to dents and corrosion but cannot be easily repaired or painted. The Cybertruck features a 6-foot bed with a powered tonneau cover, adaptive air suspension with up to 17 inches of ground clearance adjustment, and steer-by-wire — a first for a production truck. Love it or hate it, the Cybertruck represents a fundamental challenge to what a pickup truck can look and be.

$80,000 – $150,000

Check panel alignment as early production units have notable gaps. The stainless steel body cannot be conventionally repaired or painted — dents require specialist attention. Verify all electronics and screens function properly. Battery range may vary significantly from EPA estimates under load. Software updates are pushed over-the-air.

Unveiled November 2019, deliveries began December 2023 after multiple delays. Built at Tesla's Gigafactory Texas in Austin. The stainless steel body required entirely new manufacturing processes. A lower-cost rear-wheel-drive variant was announced but not yet produced.
