Stainless steel "exoskeleton" body — no paint, no traditional body panels

Steer-by-wire system with rear-wheel steering for surprising agility

Driving Performance & Handling
Numbers first: 600 hp, 1020 Nm and a 4.1-second 0–60 in a 6,603 lb pickup, with adaptive air suspension offering up to 17.4 inches of clearance. Steer-by-wire with rear-wheel steering gives it surprising agility for the size — though that same system is the thing drivers most often need time to adjust to.

On-Road Price & Value for Money
| Starting MSRP | $79,990 |
| Top trim | $99,990 |
From $79,990, rising to $99,990 for the top trim, the Cybertruck asks premium-truck money and answers with an 11,000 lb tow rating, 325 miles of range, V2L power export from the bed and the Supercharger network. Rivals like the F-150 Lightning are easier to live with day to day; none matches this particular spec mix.
Comparison with Rivals
Key competitors include the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, GMC Sierra EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV.
The F-150 Lightning is more conventional and easier to live with daily. The Rivian R1T is more refined off-road and has nicer materials. The Cybertruck is the most differentiated, with steer-by-wire and the stainless body — but also the most polarizing.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Genuinely unique design that gets attention everywhere
11,000 lb towing rating with Power Boost option
Off-road capability rivals the Rivian R1T and Ford Raptor
Bidirectional charging (V2L) up to 9.6 kW from the bed
Tesla Supercharger network for road trips
Cons
Polarizing exterior design — not for everyone
Stainless body shows fingerprints and is hard to repair after damage
Range drops sharply when towing (~150 miles loaded)
Steer-by-wire takes adjustment; some drivers never warm to it
Significant early-build quality concerns reported on early units
Overall Rating
4 / 5 — huge capability and genuine innovation, from 11,000 lb towing to bed-mounted 240V outlets; the score absorbs real deductions for towing range loss, repairability of the stainless body and early build quality.

Final Verdict
The 2025 Cybertruck AWD is the most polarizing pickup on sale. If the design speaks to you and you can live with the early-adopter quirks, it's a genuinely capable, fast and unique truck. If you want a no-fuss electric pickup, the F-150 Lightning is the safer choice.
