Tesla has revolutionized the automotive space, bringing electric vehicles into the mainstream and pushing other automakers to do the same. Now, Tesla is targeting the electric pickup truck market with the Tesla Cybertruck. And after several production delays, the Cybertruck has finally arrived. But with fierce competition from Rivian and Ford, is this electric pickup the right model for you?
Here’s what you need to know about the arrival of the Tesla Cybertruck in Canada.
Availability of the Tesla Cyber Truck in Canada
The Tesla Cybertruck was originally supposed to be released in 2022, but it endured its share of delays before finally arriving in the third quarter of 2023. Production is rolling smoothly today, with virtually no delivery delays. Tesla’s website says it can deliver the Cybertruck to Canadian buyers the same month they order it.
Tesla offers two versions of the Cybertruck in Canada:
- All-Wheel Drive
- Cyberbeast
Tesla Cybertruck Specifications
The Tesla Cybertruck is not only one of the most unique vehicles on the road, but it also boasts impressive specifications. These specs can play a huge role in a buyer’s decision. Check out all the Tesla Cybertruck’s specs and see if they fit your needs.
Tesla Cybertruck Power and Performance
There has been much speculation about the Tesla Cybertruck’s specifications since its debut as a concept vehicle. Judging by Tesla’s existing lineup, everyone knew performance would be a key selling point.
Now that it’s in production, we can confirm its performance is a big selling point.
The baseline Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive arrives with 600 horsepower and 521 pound-feet (lb-ft) of torque. This gives this electric pickup truck a 4.3-second 0-to-100 km/h sprint time and a 180 km/h top speed. It can also tow up to 4,990 kg.
The Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast is a beast indeed. It boasts a tri-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain that delivers 845 horsepower and 863 lb-ft of torque. This helps sprint the Cybertruck to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds and up to a top speed of 209 km/h. This model also has a 4,990 kg towing capacity.
One of Cybertruck’s biggest rivals is the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, which delivers up to 1,000 hp and approximately a three-second 0-to-100 km/h sprint time. The Hummer EV Pickup also has a respectable towing capacity of 3,855 kg, but it falls over 1,000 kg short of the Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck also stares down the Ford F-150 Lightning, which has 452 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque. This makes it comparable to the Cybertruck, but the Lightning’s starting price is just over $62,000, making it more affordable. The Lightning’s performance pales next to the Cybertruck Cyberbeast, sprinting to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. However, it remains competitive with a 4,535 kg towing capacity.
Tesla Cybertruck Driving Range and Charging
When Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck, it claimed its all-electric driving range would be up to 500 miles (805 km). Tesla oversold itself a bit there, but the Cybertruck remains a leader in all-electric pickup driving range.
The Cybertruck can drive up to 512 km between charges in its base All-Wheel Drive trim. However, when you upgrade to the Cyberbeast model, this range drops to just 484 km.
To put that range into perspective, the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning has a 386 to 515 km driving range, depending on the trim level. The GMC Hummer EV has a 454 to 512 km range, depending on options. So, the Tesla Cybertruck is right in the mix in terms of range.
For those who need more driving range, you can opt for the Range Extender, which will extend the Cybertruck to over 755 km on a charge. This option won’t be available until early 2025 and will cost around $22,000.
Charging times vary significantly with the Cybertruck, depending on what type of charger you use. If you plug into a Supercharger, the Cybertruck will gain about 219 km of range per 15 minutes of charging. You’ll also go from 10% to 80% charge on a Supercharger (or any 250 kW fast charger) in just 44 minutes.
You can expect a full charge on an at-home Level 2 charger with 11 kilowatts in just over 21 hours.
Tesla Cybertruck Interior Dimensions and Features
Tesla designed the Cybertruck to be an everyday pickup truck that allows you to haul cargo and the family comfortably. The interior specifications showcase this, with the front seats offering 1,058.8 mm of headroom and 1,043.6 mm of legroom. The rear seats are equally impressive, with 991.9 mm of headroom and 1,038.8 mm of legroom.
Like all Tesla models, the Cybertruck is a rolling masterclass in technology. Inside, you’ll find an array of high-tech gadgets, including an 18.5-inch Infinity Display infotainment system, a 9.4-inch rear display, a 15-speaker premium audio system, heated and cooled front seats, HEPA cabin filtration, a panoramic glass roof, custom interior lighting, and so much more.
Tesla Cybertruck Chassis
Tesla had to develop the Cybertruck’s chassis carefully, ensuring it could handle hauling, towing, and off-roading while remaining a comfortable ride for passengers on the open road. Tesla delivered that and more, as the Cybertruck’s adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering make it comfortable and surprisingly nimble.
The Cybertruck rides atop a platform with a 3,635 mm wheelbase and 1,772 mm front and rear track. It also boasts variable ride heights for all driving conditions, ranging from 201.3 mm in its entry and exit setting to 406.3 mm in its highest setting.
Tesla Cybertruck Exterior Dimensions and Features
With its arrival finally here, Tesla has revealed all the Cybertruck’s exterior dimensions. In terms of sheer size, the Cybertruck is quite large, measuring 5,682 mm long and 2,413 mm wide. Depending on the ride height setting, its height varies from 1,740.8 to 1,945.8 mm.
While it lacks a full-size truck bed, the Tesla Cybertruck can still do plenty of hauling with a bead floor that measures 1,295.4 mm wide by 1,852.2 mm long. It also features a motorized magic tonneau cover that closes over the top of the bed and locks to create what Tesla calls “the vault.”
So, you can easily store valuable items in the bed without concern that they’ll get stolen. It also features lots of secure storage, including a 200-litre front trunk (frunk), 1,591 litres in the bed, and 97 litres in under-bed storage.
Price of the Tesla Cybertruck in Canada
Pricing was a big mystery when Tesla initially unveiled the Cybertruck. With its arrival in the books, the pricing is no longer a mystery. The Cybertruck starts from $137,990 in its base All-Wheel Drive setup and $165,990 in the Cyberbeast trim.
If that sounds pricey to you, well, it is. The Ford Lightning starts at just $62,890 and tops out at $103,390. However, Cybertruck’s pricing aligns well with its main competitor, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, which starts at $134,232.
