- Estimated delivery date for new Cybertruck orders is 2025
- Long wait means buyers could opt for single-motor Cybertuck coming that year
- Tesla hopes to ramp up annual production to 250,000 units in 2025
The Tesla Cybertruck has had its fair share of teething troubles and its design is a big turn-off for plenty of traditional truck buyers. But there are so many Americans who do badly want one that the waiting list now stretches to 2025.
After several delays Tesla finally launched the Cybertruck last fall, and a small number of buyers did manage to take delivery of their trucks before the end of the year. But most orders were destined to be fulfilled during 2024, and until recently Tesla’s website suggested that any order placed today would still result in buyers getting their hands on a Cybertruck at some point between now and next January.

But Tesla’s retail site has now been updated and shows that fresh orders won’t be fulfilled until 2025. Exactly how far into 2025 customers might have to wait for their trucks, it doesn’t say. Tesla is estimated to have over 2 million pre-orders for the Cybertruck and previously said that the Austin, TX, plant will able to churn out 250,000 of the EVs every year when it’s up to full speed. But that’s not going to happen until 2025.
Both the Cyberbeast, which stickers at $99,990, and the $79,990 All-Wheel Drive, carry a 2025 estimated delivery date. The Cyberbeast’s 845 hp (857 PS / 630 kW) powertrain hustles it to 60 mph (97 kmh) in 2.6 seconds and provides a 130 mph (209 kmh) top speed, while the AWD makes do with 600 hp (608 PS / 447 kW), needs 4.1 seconds for the sixty sprint and tops out at 112 mph (80 kmh).
The less expensive model does go further on a charge (340 miles / 547 km versus 320 miles / 515 km), however, and it retains the flagship’s 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg) towing capacity. But since new customers now have to wait until 2025 to get their Cybertrucks their buying choices expand to include the entry-level Rear-Wheel Drive truck that makes its debut next year.
We don’t know much about this single-motor variant, but Tesla says it will cost $60,990 and get to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. If that sounds good, you might change your mind when you learn that it can only travel 250 miles (402 kmh) before needing a charge.
