The 2026 Tesla Cybertruck is a full-size all-electric pickup truck with an angular stainless-steel exoskeleton body. It competes with the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, and Chevrolet Silverado EV in the electric truck segment. The 2026 model carries over the design from its debut, with Tesla offering two primary variants: the dual-motor All-Wheel Drive and the tri-motor Cyberbeast. The All-Wheel Drive uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive electric powertrain producing 600 horsepower, a single-speed transmission, an EPA-estimated range of 325 miles, and maximum towing capacity of 11,000 pounds.
The infotainment centers on an 18.5-inch front touchscreen controlling navigation, media streaming, climate, and drive modes, with LTE connectivity for live traffic, Spotify integration, and arcade games. No major hardware changes occur for 2026, retaining Autopilot hardware for adaptive cruise control, automatic lane changes, and optional Full Self-Driving capability updated via software, plus steer-by-wire steering. The Tesla app supports remote preconditioning, sentry monitoring, and trip planning. Subscription options exist for premium connectivity and Full Self-Driving, with over-the-air updates delivering enhancements to the vehicle's systems.
