There is no word what that number is for other trim levels.Ī $70,990 two-motor all-wheel drive version will come with a larger battery (there’s no details on actual kilowatt-hours) that extends unladen range to 340 miles and drops 0-60 miles-per-hour time to 4.1 seconds. Tesla quotes a maximum payload for the Cybertruck of 2,500 pounds, which is presumably for this most basic version, with the smallest, lightest battery pack. Tesla says the most basic rear-wheel drive, single-motor version will cost $60,990 and have an estimated unladen range of 250 miles, while accelerating from zero to 60 miles per hour in and estimated 6.5 seconds. The Cybertruck will eventually be available in three trim levels.

Not only does Musk have a history of exaggerating when he talks about Tesla products, but the company employs no public relations people, does not produce press materials, and many of the numbers being released this week are couched in the company’s own disclaimers.
