The Tesla Cybertruck is a battery electric light-duty truck announced by Tesla, Inc. Three models have been announced, with EPA range estimates of 400–800 kilometers (250–500 mi) and an estimated 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 2.9–6.5 seconds, depending on the model.[11]
The stated goal of Tesla in developing the Cybertruck is to provide a sustainable energy substitute for the roughly 6,500 fossil-fuel-powered trucks sold per day in the United States.[11][12][13]
The base price of the rear-wheel drive (RWD) model of the vehicle was announced to be US$39,900, with all-wheel drive (AWD) models starting at US$49,900.[14][15] Production of the dual-motor AWD and tri-motor AWD Cybertruck production was slated to begin in late 2021, with the RWD model release date in late 2022,[11] but the production was pushed back to 2022
