2026 Tesla Cybertruck Changes, Dimensions, Specs – Four years after their debut, Elon Musk finally brings the first Cybertrucks to the public, but not before demonstrating their ability to haul, their absurd acceleration, and their bulletproof doors.
The first 10 Cybertruck battery-electric pickup vehicles were presented to reservation holders in a live event at Tesla’s Austin Gigafactory plant on Thursday by the company’s controversy-courting CEO, Elon Musk. The ceremony was broadcast live on Musk’s social media platform X, which was formerly known as Twitter.
The Cybertruck was initially shown to the public in November 2019. Although the debut was humiliating to say the least, Tesla’s first electric pickup truck appeared to be the only one on the road. With its bold performance claims, the promise of Tesla’s industry-leading range, and one of the most absurd feature lists I’ve ever seen, the Cybertruck enthralled people all around the world.
Soon after the event, I also fell for the hype and paid a $100 reservation deposit, but I canceled the preorder a year later because I was no longer sure that Tesla could ever produce the car because of many delays.
And after years of Musk making some fairly odd claims about the EV’s buoyancy, Tesla deleting the price and specs off the configurator, and Tesla giving me little information on the truck’s development, it appears that I was right to decrease my expectations. 2026 Tesla Cybertruck Changes

Exterior & Interior
Not surprisingly, the Cybertruck still has the highly geometric design that was developed to keep paint from flaking by simply leaving its body panels made of stainless steel unpainted.
The pickup’s length is still 223.7 inches, but its width has grown to 95 inches with the addition of legally required wing mirrors.
The design that caught my attention in 2019 already appears antiquated to me, which is odd considering it’s only recently been launched. Whether you like the low-poly, post-apocalyptic design or not, the newest member of the Tesla family is without a doubt the most distinctive-looking vehicle now on the road.
During the broadcast, Tesla staff members executed the now-famous glass shatter demonstration, although this time they utilized a baseball rather than a heavy steel ball. At least the glass didn’t break this time, even if I felt the throw was a little weak.
According to Tesla’s revised claims, the “armor glass can resist the impact of a baseball at 70 mph or class 4 hail,” therefore it is no longer “bulletproof.” However, if we believe the video that shows Tesla shooting the Cybertruck with many weapons and just small damages, the door panels should be. 2026 Tesla Cybertruck Changes

Engine & Performance
In a tractor-pull demonstration video, Tesla also out-towed a Ford F-350 diesel, a Rivian R1T Quad Motor, and a Ford F-150 Lightning Dual Motor to show off the Cybertruck’s 11,000-pound towing capacity. Depending on how many motors it has, the Cybertruck will be available for purchase in three different forms.
With three electric motors—two on the rear axle and one on the front—the top-of-the-line Cyberbeast starts at $99,990 before destination costs or incentives. With its combined 845 horsepower, the tri-motor truck can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 130 mph while in Beast mode.
At the introduction, Tesla played a video of the Cyberbeast outrunning a Porsche 911 for almost a quarter of a mile while towing another Porsche 911. Regarding battery capacity, there are still a lot of problems that need to be addressed, although Tesla claims a range of 320 miles on a single charge, which is fewer than the initial 2019 estimate of “over 500 miles.”
The middle kid in the sequence, the $79,990 Dual-Motor, has one motor each axle and generates 600 horsepower in total. Performance should still be exceptional given its 3.9-second 0- to-60 mph sprint, max speed of 112 mph, 7,435-pound towing capacity, and estimated 340-mile range.
Last but not least, the single-motor, rear-drive model won’t be available until 2026 and will start at $60,990, which is again more than the $40,000 goal stated during the 2019 launch. We do know that it should have a 250-mile range and a 6.5-second dash to 60 mph, despite the lack of further specifics.
The Cybertruck has a 6-foot cargo bed with 67 cubic feet of lockable storage that can accommodate 2,500 pounds, regardless of the motor configuration you select.
The electric wedge’s 35-inch tires and standard air suspension with up to 17 inches of on-the-fly adjustable ground clearance and 12 inches of travel give it some off-road cred. It also features 35-degree approach and 28-degree departure angles. On the other hand, four-wheel steering facilitates negotiating tight curves. 2026 Tesla Cybertruck Changes
2026 Tesla Cybertruck Fuel Economy
According to Tesla, the Cybertruck will have up to 250-kW of DC fast charging capacity and can add up to 128 miles of range with a 15-minute session at a powerful enough Supercharger. Tucked under the bed are integrated 120- and 240-volt plugs that can provide up to 11.5 kW of bidirectional power to tools, appliances, or even a house.
The Cybertruck’s minimalist dashboard features a single, large, 18.5-inch screen that is angled horizontally. The rear-seat passengers receive their own 9.4-inch display at the back of the center console. The interior of the Cybertruck also has wireless phone charging stations, hospital-grade HEPA filtration, a “bioweapon defense mode” climate control system, and space for five people under the all-glass canopy.
Cybertrucks began rolling off the Austin assembly line Thursday and are on en route to their customers. Interested edgy futurists can register their own Cybertruck for a freshly increased $250 refundable cost.
