Cybertruck's Shifting Specs
What We're Showing
This graphic shows how specs and price point for the Cybertruck have changed since it was first announced in 2019.
Key Facts
- For Cyberbeast in particular, numbers have shifted in a way consumers may not be enthusiastic about – price up, specs down
- Elon Musk noted in 2019 that numbers could change, and has admitted being overly optimistic about timing and scope in past projects
- Tesla has received an estimated 2 million pre-orders for its first truck, so even if a small amount of those convert, it could make a huge impact on Tesla's revenue

Data sources
Additional Context: Ramp-up numbers are subject to change depending on how soon Tesla can get additional lines up-and-running during that timeframe. Keen observers have noted that the massive increase in torque numbers are likely referencing wheel torque as opposed to motor. The "range extender" is an additional battery housed in the bed of the truck.
