Tesla will build the Cybertruck in Austin, Texas. Although Tesla had hoped to deliver a few Cybertrucks to consumers by late 2021 as 2022 models, production of the company’s fully electric pickup has been delayed. It now looks like the first Cybertrucks will be built in the summer of 2023 with some deliveries possible by the end of the year. High-volume deliveries will likely take place in 2024.

Prototypes continue to be spotted around Tesla facilities in California and Texas, and even after the passage of some time, we still wonder how such a wild and futuristic-looking vehicle could ever reach production.

Looking like the star of a dystopian sci-fi movie (or at least the human star’s preferred method of transport), the Tesla Cybertruck is made of stern stuff. Ultra-hard stainless steel, cold-rolled 30 times, to be exact. Tesla uses the same material in the Space-X program. It’s so thick that it can’t be shaped many ways, which is a big reason why the Cybertruck has such a distinctive design.

Under that stainless steel exoskeleton is a corresponding level of engineering. In its top 3-motor/all-wheel-drive form, Tesla says the new Cybertruck can run 500 miles on a single full charge, launch from standstill to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and tow a 14,000-pound trailer.

The lineup begins with a rear-drive/single-motor version, but there are also 2-motor and 3-motor versions.

If this Tesla pickup truck fulfills its promise, it could turn the whole pickup world upside down. Major manufacturers were slow to respond to Tesla cars, but they’re already gearing up to meet the Cybertruck threat. Ford has the F-150 Lightning (an all-electric version of its best-selling vehicle), and General Motors has the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and the GMC Hummer EV.

2023 Tesla Cybertruck Pricing

Tesla originally estimated that the Cybertruck would start at under $40,000 back in 2019, but that has since changed. With one motor and rear-wheel drive, the new Tesla Cybertruck is expected to start at about $50,000 when it arrives in 2023.

With two motors and all-wheel drive, the Cybertruck could start at about $60,000, while the 3-motor version should cost roughly $70,000. Tesla tends to change prices in the middle of a model year, so these prices may change before you can begin ordering a Cybertruck online again.

The main rival right now is the F-150 Lightning, which is available now with a starting price of $55,974. The electric Ford pickup qualifies for a federal tax credit but looks nothing like the Cybertruck, which may or may not be a good thing.

There’s also the Chevrolet Silverado EV, which is available as a basic work truck for $39,900 or a flagship RST First Edition for $105,000. We expect this new Silverado EV to arrive around the middle of 2023 as a 2024 model. The GMC Sierra EV has a similar production and delivery timeline as the electric Silverado, and it will debut in the luxurious Denali trim.

Another option is the Rivian R1T starting at $73,000. The soonest deliveries for new reservations begin in 2024, giving it a similar timeline as the Cybertruck.

Before flipping the switch on an electric pickup, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to find out what others in your area are paying for their new Tesla Cybertruck. Tesla tends to enjoy strong resale values, and since this truck is being built to withstand a lot of punishment, we expect the Cybertruck to hold its value well.

Does the 2023 Tesla Cybertruck qualify for the federal tax credit?

Yes, Tesla Cybertruck buyers may be eligible to receive a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. New rules went into effect on January 1, 2023. There are price caps, income requirements, and more changes on the way. 

Driving The 2023 Tesla Cybertruck

We’ll be able to provide Tesla Cybertruck driving impressions once we’ve sat in one and flexed our right foot a few times.

Meantime, we do know this: Tesla tells us the single-motor/rear-drive Cybertruck accelerates from standstill to 60 mph in a mildly entertaining 6.5 seconds. The twin-motor/all-wheel-drive model is quite a bit quicker, accomplishing the same sprint in 4.5 seconds.

While that’s remarkably quick, the 3-motor Tesla Cybertruck hits 60 mph in a scintillating 2.9 seconds. That’ll put some supercars to shame.

The maximum payload of the Tesla Cybertruck is 3,500 pounds. How do its rivals compare? The F-150 Lightning has a max payload of 2,000 pounds, while the Chevrolet Silverado EV can carry only 1,300 pounds. The Rivian R1T can carry 1,760 pounds.

Interior Comfort

There’s no steering wheel in the Cybertruck, not in the conventional sense. Instead, the driver uses an aircraft-style yoke. And the dashboard doesn’t do much except provide a place for the 17-inch touchscreen to live.

Wide enough to accommodate six occupants, with three people in each row, the Tesla Cybertruck is best described as a crew cab because it has full-size side doors for front and back. That crazy triangular profile, however, can’t be good for rear headroom.

Extra storage space is found under the Cybertruck’s rear seats and beneath its hood.

Exterior Styling

The Tesla Cybertruck rides on a chassis with a floorboard battery, and the stressed body, what the company calls the exoskeleton, is made of super-strong stainless steel that’s hard to dent. Also, because stainless is resistant to corrosion, the body needs no paint. The side glass is extra tough, strengthened with a polymer-layered composite.

Note the lack of side mirrors. There’s no need to have them when you have rear-facing cameras in the front fenders. Will this comply with federal requirements? Hard to say at this point, but we suspect there will also be some bureaucratic hurdles with the LED-strip exterior lights, which look cool.

At this point, the Tesla Cybertruck has no windshield wipers. Tesla has filed for a patent covering electromagnetic wipers (requiring less electricity than a regular wiper motor). There’s also talk of using a laser to keep that massive windscreen free from raindrops. However the issue is addressed, it’s clearly an issue that needs to be solved before this electric pickup truck goes into production.

Favorite Features

17-INCH TOUCHSCREEN
You’ll find it in other Tesla vehicles, like the Model X SUV, but this glorious, high-resolution piece of tech is one of the largest infotainment displays in all of motordom. This one comes with a new customizable user interface.

ADAPTIVE AIR SUSPENSION
A standard feature. It’s self-leveling and adjustable, so it can dip down four inches for easy entry and exit, better aerodynamics on the freeway, and shallower ramp angles at the back. Or it can lift four inches for optimum ground clearance over rough terrain.

Standard Features

From the start, the Tesla Cybertruck will be equipped with adaptive air suspension, which enables a maximum ground clearance of up to 16 inches.

The Cybertruck also has a massive 17-inch infotainment display, a rearview camera mirror, a full set of advanced safety features, and a tonneau cover.

The 6.5-foot bed, which can accommodate a 4 x 8-ft sheet of plywood when the tailgate is down, houses a 120-volt outlet, a 240-volt outlet, and even an air compressor.

Factory Options

Expected options include all-wheel drive, plus a choice of one, two, or three electric motors. A loading ramp might be an available extra. We’ll also have to wait and see if items such as heated seats are standard or optional.

Engine & Transmission

Tesla has not shared any horsepower or torque figures for the Cybertruck, but the company often keeps that information to itself. The company does say the range estimates below are from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The three available powertrain configurations in the 2023 Tesla Cybertruck are:

• One electric motor with rear-wheel drive, a range of 250 miles, and a 7,500-pound max tow rating
• Two electric motors with all-wheel drive, a range of 300 miles, and a 10,000-pound max tow rating
• Three electric motors (one up front, two in back), a range of 500 miles, and a max tow rating of 14,000 pounds

Using the network of Tesla Superchargers is the quickest way to recharge the Cybertruck, with a top-up to get home taking perhaps less than an hour. Once back at the ranch, it’s best to use a 240-volt charger (Tesla sells these things). Expect full battery replenishment in about 10 hours.

KBB Vehicle Review And Rating Methodology

Our Expert Ratings come from hours of both driving and number crunching to make sure that you choose the best car for you. We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings.

We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology.

Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing.

Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.)

We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.
