Tesla officially launched the Cybertruck back in 2019. It has not hit full production yet. But when it does — around four years after its debut — it should be the most striking vehicle on the road.
Piecing together reports, rumors and Elon Musk tweets — the closest thing Tesla has to an official PR department — it’s clear the production Cybertruck will be markedly different from the initial release. Here’s what we know about it as of this writing.
What we know after Tesla’s Cybertruck Delivery Event

Tesla held a Cybertruck delivery event at its GigaFactory in Texas, delivering the first Cybetrucks to owners. Musk did reveal some specs for the new truck.
Top Range: 340 miles That’s not entirely clear. Tesla tweeted that it built its first Cybertruck at its Giga Texas facility. The brand did purportedly deliver trucks to real customers at the event. However, Elon Musk said that the Cybertruck will not hit “full volume” production until 2024.
Musk clarified during Tesla’s Q3 2023 earnings call that “we dug our own grave with the Cybertruck,” acknowledging that there will be difficulties ramping up to full production and it may take 18 months before the Cybertruck is cash flow positive.
How much will the Cybertruck cost?

Tesla unveiled Cybertruck pricing in the configurator on its website. The All-Wheel-Drive trim starts at $79,990. The Cyberbeast trim starts at $99,990. Both trucks will be available in 2024. The base Rear-Wheel-Drive trim will start at $60,990 and be available in 2025.
The Cybertruck does not appear to have exterior door handles

The production Cybertruck made a nod to convention with door mirrors. But it does not appear to have exterior door handles (or at least easily accessible ones). Elon Musk was letting passengers into their trucks by reaching inside a rolled-down window — offering a preview of how that may work in practice.
What will the Tesla Cybertruck look like?

Prototypes have been out testing (and being towed) in the wild. The Cybertruck looks broadly similar to the truck Elon Musk initially revealed with an angular, Blader Runner-inspired silhouette and an unpainted stainless steel “exoskeleton.” The ginormous windshield wiper blade will be making it to production.
Tesla has started offering pricey wrap options on other vehicles. So we may see that with the Cybertruck too at some point.

Tesla says the Cybertruck will have an adaptive air suspension, which it says allows for up to 12 inches of travel. The truck will be able to raise or lower four inches in either direction. It will also offer a self-leveling function.
