Tesla updated its Cybertruck webpage to remove Cybertruck specs and pricing for each electric pickup truck configuration.
It comes after the highly anticipated electric vehicle has been postponed until next year.
During the Cybertruck’s unveiling in 2019, Tesla announced that the electric pickup would be offered in three different configurations:
- Single-engine RWD with over 250 miles of range, 0-60 moh in 6.5 seconds, top speed of 110 mph, and starting price of $ 39,900
- Dual-motor AWD with over 300 miles of range, 0-60 moh in 4.5 seconds, top speed of 120 mph and starting price of $ 49,900
- Tri Motor AWD with over 500 miles of range, 0-60 moh in 2.9 seconds, top speed of 130 mph and starting price of $ 69,900
Those configurations, specs, and pricing have remained on Tesla’s website and pre-order page for the Cybertruck since launch two years ago.
Last night, Tesla updated the Cybertruck webpage to remove any mention of these setups:
The pre-order page also doesn’t mention the $ 10,000 price lock-in for the Full-Self Driving package.
Tesla’s new main page for Cybertruck no longer features datasheets like this:
The automaker now only mentions some of the higher specifications, such as a towing capacity of over 14,000 pounds and 0-100 km / h in “as little as 2.9 seconds”, which were previously associated specifications. to the top-of-the-line three-engine Cybertruck.
Tesla also mentions a range of up to 500 miles of range while it previously mentioned a range of over 500 miles.
This update comes after Tesla officially delayed the start of production of Cybertruck until the end of 2022.

Such a move would generally mean that Tesla does not necessarily plan to launch the Cybertruck with these specific configurations and that the specifications and prices have changed.
That’s to be expected as they’ve probably evolved over the last couple of years, and especially since we probably still have a full year before the electric pickup hits production.
We previously speculated that at least the Cybertruck’s prices should be updated.
The base price of $ 39,900 has always been ambitious, but it has become unimaginable after some of the recent Model 3 price increases.
It would be hard to imagine Tesla selling the base Cybertruck for $ 39,900 while the Model 3 starts at $ 42,000.
Still, the base version of the Cybertruck is expected to become the last to be available, and we don’t expect it until late 2023-2024. Much can change in the meantime.
