Elon Musk officially revealed the price of the electric pickup truck during a grand delivery event at the Gigafactory in Texas. Musk personally drove one of the delivered models, showcasing the Cybertruck's performance. Contrary to Elon Musk's statements during the global debut of the Cybertruck in 2019, the electric vehicle's price has increased by at least 50 percent.

Approximately 2 million customers who booked the Cybertruck over the past four years will now need to spend a minimum of $61,000 (approximately ₹50.82 lakh), with the price of the electric pickup truck reaching up to $100,000 (around ₹83.30 lakh). Musk had initially estimated the Cybertruck's price to be around $40,000 four years ago. Interestingly, Musk has posted a video showcasing a drag race between the Tesla Cybertruck and a Porsche 911 on a designated drag strip.

Thanks to its instant electric power, the Cybertruck swiftly takes the lead right from the launch, maintaining its advantage throughout the race. The Tesla EV steadily extends its lead while the green 911 attempts to catch up. However, there is a surprising twist in the competition.

The Tesla Cybertruck, in the video, is connected to a trailer hauling another Porsche 911. The weight of the 911 varies between 1,455 to 1,715 kg, depending on the model, and it remains uncertain which specific version of the Porsche supercar is featured in the footage. Notably, the Cybertruck boasts an impressive towing capacity of 4,990 kg and is claimed to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 2.6 seconds, excluding rollout.
