About Cybertruck

The Tesla Cybertruck is the most polarizing vehicle of its generation. Revealed in 2019, it looked like nothing else on the road: a sharp-edged stainless-steel wedge with a flat-paneled body, a light bar across its nose and a profile that resembled a 1980s vision of the future. The reveal was famous for a demonstration that went wrong when its armored glass windows cracked under a thrown metal ball. Hundreds of thousands of reservations followed, and the truck became a cultural lightning rod.

Deliveries began in late 2023 after years of delays. The Cybertruck uses an exoskeleton of unpainted stainless steel, steer-by-wire with rear-wheel steering, a 48-volt electrical system and an 800-volt powertrain, all of which were firsts or near firsts for a mass-produced vehicle. Its strengths include acceleration, especially in the tri-motor Cyberbeast, and a large, versatile bed. Its weaknesses include a long list of recalls, controversy over its looks and practicality, and a price higher than originally promised. Sales have fallen well short of early expectations.

The Cybertruck is built at Tesla's Texas factory and sold mainly in North America, with a handful of export markets, though plans for some regions, including Australia and New Zealand, were cancelled. It competes with electric pickups such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV, though its shape and size put it in a class of its own. It remains one of the most photographed and discussed vehicles on the road.

The coverage here includes reviews, recall notices, software updates, sales and pricing news, owner stories and the steady stream of viral videos, from off-road tests and towing trials to repair-shop sagas over panels that cannot simply be repainted. Expect debates over its durability, the true cost of fixing a stainless-steel body, its value on the used market and its future as Tesla shifts attention toward autonomy and robotics. Love it or loathe it, the Cybertruck has never had a problem getting attention, which is perhaps exactly what it was designed to do.

The stainless-steel wedge that smashed its own window at launch, a steer-by-wire electric pickup that is as divisive as it is impossible to ignore.
