The Tesla Cybertruck, a groundbreaking all-electric pickup truck, has been in production since mid-2023. Originally revealed as a concept vehicle in November 2019, its distinctive low-polygon, angular design is made from flat stainless-steel panels, giving it a unique, futuristic look that has sparked considerable discussion.
After delays from its initial late-2021 production target, the Cybertruck began manufacturing in mid-2 023, with first deliveries made in November 2023. Currently, the lineup includes two models: the Cyber beast (tri-motor AWD), designed for high performance, and a dual-motor AWD variant. A single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) model is scheduled for release in 2025.
