Tesla Cybertruck in Canada: Full Buyers Guide 2026

If you’ve considered buying the new Tesla cybertruck, we can’t blame you. It looks so flashy and futuristic that it’d catch anyone’s eye!

Though the all-electric truck looks a bit odd, it can hold its own up against some of the best-selling pickup trucks on the market today. Trucks are wildly popular in Canada, with the Ford F-150 being the best-selling truck for nearly 60 years.

But it’s possible that electric trucks will shake things up a bit. We’ll tell you all about the cybertruck release date, cost, interior, and more in our Tesla Cybertruck in Canada: Full Buyers Guide.

The origins of the cybertruck

The Tesla cybertruck was first speculated about in 2014, but it wasn’t until 2016 when plans started becoming more solidified. In 2019 the first image of what we now know as the cybertruck Model Y was released.

In fact, the date was November 21, 2019, which was around 10 months after Ford announced the release of its F-150 Lightening, another all-electric truck. From there, a race to produce the first all-electric truck on the market was initiated.

Ultimately, both companies lost out to Rivian when it launched its R1T.

Within a week of its first appearance, more than 250,000 people had pre-ordered the Tesla cybertruck. The next year, Tesla confirmed that its manufacturing location would be the Tesla Gigafactory in Texas.

Several different production issues, like limited battery cell capacity and part shortages caused production delays. Even though production has been delayed a few times, pre-orders continued to stack up. In fact, there are more than 1.5 million preorders or downpayments have been made for the not-yet-produced Tesla cybertruck.

For now, both Canadians and Americans can still pre-order cybertrucks, but because of the popular demand preorders have been paused for customers outside North America. $150 is all you need for the downpayment.

Tesla cybertruck in Canada release date

If you’re reading our Tesla Cybertruck in Canada: Full Buyer’s Guide, you’re probably wondering about the cybertruck release date.

As we’re writing this, there is no official delivery date for the Tesla cybertruck in Canada.

Release dates changed several times due to unexpected misfortunes. The first models were supposed to arrive to customers in the US in the latter half of Spring or early Summer 2023, and Canadian orders should have been fulfilled around the same time.

Dual and Tri-Motor models will be produced first, followed by Single and Quad-Motors.

Cybertruck cost

Our Tesla Cybertruck in Canada: Full Buyers Guide wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t include a section about the cybertruck cost. Of course, it’s natural to wonder if it’s worth it or not.

Back in November 2019, the cybertrucks’ prices were estimated at:

• Single Motor RWD: $39,000 USD
• Dual Motor AWD: $49,900 USD
• Tri-Motor AWD: $69,900 USD
• Quad Motor AWD: Pricing not available

Since that announcement, a lot has changed and prices of the Tesla Cybertruck in the United States as of November 2023 are:

• Single Motor RWD: $60,990 USD
• Dual Motor AWD: $79,990 USD
• Tri-Motor AWD: $99,990 USD

What about Canadian pricing? It’s likely that prices of the Tesla cybertruck in Canada will range from $50,000 to $100,000 CAD, but this is speculation as the official prices haven’t been released.

But it’s a safe bet that they’ll be around 40% more than prices in the U.S. This means that the Single Motor RWD is likely to be around $55,000 and the Tri-Motor AWD will likely be around $100,000 CAD.

The price for the Quad Motor AWD hasn’t been released yet, but you can guess that it will run at least $125,000 CAD, if not more.

Range, charging and capabilities

Here’s the real meat and potatoes of the Tesla Cybertruck in Canada. In this section, we’ll tell you all about what Tesla Cybertruck can do.

Depending on the model, the Tesla Cybertruck was claimed to have an electric range between 480 and 800 km. According to Tesla, the dual-motor cybertruck with all-terrain tires could drive 515 km on a full charge. However, in recent tests charge ended after 254 miles on the highway (408 km).

Most of the pre-orders are for the Dual Motor AWD and the Tri-Motor AWD models, which have ranges of 480 km and 800 km, respectively. Of course, these numbers could improve in the future as battery technology advances.

V3 Supercharger

The Tesla cybertruck will use 4680 battery cells, which were also recently added to the Model Y SUV. The company claims that these battery cells can produce 6 times more power with 5 times the energy, all while costing less than other batteries.

It has an 800V system, which increases its charging speeds. It has an approximate kWh of 200, which means fast charging is going to be a good idea. That’s where Tesla’s V3 Supercharger comes in. It puts out 324 kWh, which is up from its previous 250 kWh.

Performance

The bullet points of the Tesla Cybertruck’s performance features are that it can go from 0-100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, and it has a towing capacity of over 14,000 lbs.

The Single Motor model is the slowest model, but even it can go from 0-100 km in a little under 6.5 seconds. The Tri-Motor model can reach the same speeds in about 1/3 of the time, going from 0-100 km in about 2.9 seconds.

We don’t have figures on the Quad Motor model yet, but it’s safe to assume that it will reach speeds that will give The Flash a run for his money.

The Cybertruck isn’t all speed, though. It’s a workhorse, too. Here’s the towing capacity of the three models that specs have been released on.

• Single Motor: 7,500+ lbs
• Dual Motor: 10,000+ lbs
• Tri-Motor: 14,000+ lbs

Of course, the Quad Motor will be able to handle even more weight, but we’re not sure precisely how much yet as the specifications for it haven’t been released yet.

Interior

Many people reading our Tesla Cybertruck in Canada review came here wondering what the inside of the vehicle looks like and what features it boasts, and we’re not going to disappoint. Here’s what you can expect from the interior of the Tesla Cybertruck:

The dashboard of the Tesla Cybertruck is largely devoid of most of the knobs and gauges that most vehicles contain. Instead, it has a 17-inch touchscreen display that allows you to see all the necessary information.

It has a square-ish steering wheel that people are referring to as “yoke-style”. Some of the pictures seem to indicate that it lights up and has some sort of display, but this hasn’t been 100% validated.

Between the plain slab-like dashboard and the square, ligh-up steering wheel, the interior looks a bit like a futuristic spacecraft.

It can seat 6 people. There’s an armrest/console portion up front that can be flipped up to reveal an extra seat. The second-row seating features under-seat storage, and the rearview mirror displays images taken from a camera.

The vault

We’d be remiss if we didn’t include a section about the unique Vault in our buyers guide. It’s quite unique with loads of features that you don’t usually see in truck beds.

First off, there’s an extra trunk in the floor that will allow you to store toolboxes and other equipment (or shopping bags). And it comes with a stainless steel ramp, as well as the ability to raise or lower itself up to 4 inches to make hauling things in the truck easier.

Cybertruck camper

This is one of the things that had us the most excited about writing our Tesla Cybertruck in Canada Guide. The truck isn’t even on the market yet, but there are companies that are already producing accessories for it.

One company, CyberLandr, has developed a complete camper system for the cybertruck that includes a toilet, kitchen and bed. Basically, it converts the cybertruck to a tiny home on wheels.
