Tesla has officially revealed the order configurator for the limited launch edition of the Cybertruck, known as the “Foundation Series.” The announcement came through a video shared over the weekend, offering a comprehensive look at the ordering process for this cutting-edge electric pickup.
Ordering Invitations and Configurator Walkthrough
After extending invitations to a select group of reservation holders earlier in the week, reports emerged of successful orders being placed. Notable Tesla enthusiast Omar from Whole Mars Catalog shared a detailed video walkthrough of the Cybertruck’s order configurator, providing insights into the various customization options available to buyers.
Configurator Highlights and Trims Pricing
Accessible through an invite email, the configurator presents two primary trims: the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) version starting at $99,990 and the high-performance Cyberbeast tri-motor trim priced at $119,990. Tesla is prioritizing initial deliveries in California and Texas, with estimated delivery timelines varying between this month and March 2024 for the dual-motor version and early 2024 for the Cyberbeast trim. Residents in other states can expect their trucks in 2024.
Key Features and Customization Options
Highlighted features include the Cybertruck’s steer-by-wire system, impressive ground clearance, and an optional range extender for the truck bed, promising an extended range of approximately 470 miles per charge. However, the range extender is still in development and is expected to enter production in late 2024.
