Tesla boss Elon Musk is hinting that the price for the highly anticipated electric pickup will climb above the $40,000 base price that was touted back in late 2019, even for buyers who have already reserved theirs. Also mentioned was an alteration in the Cybertruck’s specs, which could possibly mean less power and/or range. A 250-mile range has been touted for the base single-motor version, and up to 500 miles for the top-level three-motor models. Or it could also mean a reduction in maximum hauling and towing capacities, currently 3,500 pounds and 14,000 pounds, respectively. Whatever the change(s), Musk only confirms that Cybertruck production will begin in mid-2023, with initial deliveries slated for North America only at that time.
