Arguably the most anticipated EV – the Tesla Cybertruck, has officially arrived on the UAE shores. Tesla has now started taking bookings for the Tesla Cybertruck in the country, with deliveries slated to begin by the end of 2025. This isn’t Tesla’s first rodeo in the UAE, as the EV firm already retails all its global products in the UAE, but this certainly marks Tesla’s first introduction of its futuristic pickup to the Middle East.
Tesla will offer two variants of the Cybertruck in the UAE – a Cybertruck All Wheel Drive variant with 523 km of claimed range, a 600 hp power output, and a 0–100 km/h sprint time of 4.3s. Customers wanting more performance can opt for the Cyberbeast variant with 515 km of claimed range, but with a whopping 845 hp power output and a 0–100 km/h supercar-esque sprint time of 2.7s. Prices for the new Tesla Cybertruck start at AED 404,990 for the Cybertruck All Wheel Drive variant and AED 454,990 for the Tesla Cyberbeast trim.
Both models feature steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering for improved maneuverability, alongside adaptive air suspension that adjusts ground clearance up to 406 mm for off-road capability. It further comes equipped with Off-Road Mode to tread the path untravelled, as well as Baja Mode for high-speed desert driving – probably going to be the most used feature in the UAE.
One has to be living under a rock to be unaware of the Tesla Cybertruck’s futuristic and imposing design. The pointy-sharp exteriors boast an angular design, wrapped with Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless steel, which has been designed to resist dents and corrosion. Since it’s a pickup truck, it further benefits from a 1,700-litre lockable cargo bed, a powered front trunk, and an electrified tonneau cover that forms a visually distinct identity element.
Like every other Tesla, the cabin of this all-electric pickup truck is significantly minimalistic. A massive infotainment screen, some pedals, and a steering wheel comprise all the input modules. The rear passengers get their own dedicated air vents with a smaller infotainment screen to control some of the creature comforts, cabin elements, or even play games. Those gaming titles and functionality experience of the car’s software will keep getting enhanced, courtesy of over-the-air software updates, along with the possibility of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) being available, once approved by UAE regulators.
