Pricing and Specifications
In Saudi Arabia, the AWD Cybertruck has a starting price of SAR 434,990 (around $116,000), while the Cyberbeast starts at SAR 484,990 (approximately $129,300). Tesla estimates that the AWD model can travel roughly 523 km on a single charge. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds and can tow as much as 4,990 kg. The Cyberbeast takes things a step further, achieving 100 km/h in merely 2.7 seconds.
Previous Model Introduction
Earlier this year, Tesla also rolled out the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Cybertruck in Saudi Arabia at a more affordable starting price. This version boasts a slightly longer range of 563 km on a full charge, although its acceleration is not as fast compared to the other trims. Deliveries for this model are anticipated to kick off in late 2025. However, the company recently discontinued the RWD trim in the US last month, raising questions about how long it will remain available in other regions outside of North America.
Growing Electric Vehicle Interest
The introduction of the Cybertruck in the Middle East aligns with the increasing interest in luxury electric vehicles within this region. With more government incentives and an expanding network of charging stations, making the switch to electric vehicles is becoming more attractive. For Tesla and electric vehicle enthusiasts in the area, the Cybertruck presents an appealing choice with its long-range capabilities and impressive towing strength.
South Korea also welcomed the AWD and Cyberbeast trims back in August, demonstrating Tesla’s ongoing efforts to expand into global markets.
