• Tesla Cybertruck starts at $110,000 in the United Arab Emirates.
  • U.S. sales fell 48.1 percent to 20,237 units during 2025.
  • Elon Musk once predicted 500,000 annual Cybertruck sales.

Prior to launching the Tesla Cybertruck, Elon Musk suggested they could sell as many as 500,000 of them per year. However, as sales of the electric pickup never really picked up in the United States, Tesla has started selling the Cybertruck in more markets, the latest being the Middle East.

Earlier this month, the first Cybertrucks were delivered to customers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Roughly 60 units were handed over during a launch event held for the occasion.

While much of the early hype surrounding the electric truck has died down in the US, it’s a hot ticket in the Middle East, with many having already been imported into the region by enthusiastic buyers before Tesla made it official. Of course, the UAE and the broader Middle East remain relatively small markets and won’t help Tesla get anywhere near its early estimates for the Cybertruck.

As one of the world’s top oil producers, the UAE enjoys some of the lowest fuel prices globally, which makes electric vehicles a harder sell. With cheap gas and a strong car culture rooted in performance and presence, the appeal of a futuristic EV like the Cybertruck has more to do with novelty than necessity.

In the UAE, pricing starts at AED404,900 for the dual-motor variant, roughly $110,000. That’s significantly more than the $79,990 price tag in the U.S. The top-end tri-motor Cyberbeast comes in at AED454,900, or about $123,000, which represents a smaller markup over its American counterpart at $114,900.

Back in the U.S., sales of the Cybertruck tumbled in 2025. Tesla moved just 20,237 units, down 48.1 percent from the 38,965 sold in 2024, the vehicle’s first full year on the market. The final quarter was especially tough, with only 4,140 trucks delivered. That’s a 68.1 percent drop compared to the 12,991 units shifted in Q4 of the previous year.
