Last week, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, unveiled the Cybertruck, the company’s first foray into the all-electric pickup truck market.
The Cybertruck features an expansive 17-inch touchscreen and is constructed of ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel. In Canada, the futuristic truck has a $50,000 CAD price tag in Canada. Depending on the specs, the Cybertruck is expected to be available late 2021 or early 2022.
Two days after announcing the Cybertruck, Musk took to Twitter to silence those who disliked its design by stating startling pre-order numbers. To-date, Musk notes that “146,000 Cybertruck orders so far, with 42 percent choosing dual, 41 percent tri and 17 percent single motor.”
- Single Motor RWD – $39,000 USD (roughly, $50,980 CAD) – 402 km estimated range
- Dual Motor AWD – $49,900 USD (roughly, $64,052 CAD) – 482 km estimated range
- Tri Motor AWD – $69,900 USD (roughly, $90,196 CAD) – 804 km estimated range
- Single Motor RWD – 7,500 lbs of towing capacity – 0 to 60 in 6.5 seconds
- Dual Motor AWD – 10,000 lbs towing capacity – 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds
- Tri Motor AWD – 14,000 lbs of towing capacity – 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds
