December 2023: Cybertruck pricing and specs

You might be glad, or you might've hoped it wouldn't happen – but Elon's teenage wet dream, the Cybertruck, is actually real and finally in customer hands.

The controversial Tesla Cybertruck's future is uncertain as the American manufacturer de-listed the vehicle's specs from its online configurator.

While Tesla has previously been transparent around the expected final cost of the Cybertruck in its three variants, the ability for prospective buyers to see the price of the truck have vanished from its website.

A portal still exists which allows buyers to place a $100 deposit, although it's unclear as to which motor will power the truck they order – if it ever makes it into production.

Tesla's current ordering portal doesn't provide any specific details of the Cybertruck

First revealed in November 2019, the Cybertruck has received criticism due to its radical design – which many believe would be unable to pass any relevant regulations worldwide.

With a potential redesign expected, Tesla may be removing the details of its line-up to focus on creating a production-spec Cybertruck, something it now has time to do as an expected start date has been pushed back to next year.

Tesla initially said it would focus on production of the US$39,900 (AU$54,360) single-motor, rear-wheel-drive Cybertruck, with the US$49,900 (AU$68,000) dual-motor and US$69,900 (AU$95,250) tri-motor variants to follow a year later.

EV rival Rivian was able to become the first manufacturer to produce an all-electric pickup truck last month, with its R1T rolling off the Random, Illinois, production line, beating the likes of Ford and Chevrolet as well as Tesla.
