The dual-motor AWD model was planned for 2024 at US$79,990, with a range of {{Convert|340|mi}} and a top speed of {{cvt|130|mph}}. The tri-motor Cyberbeast, also scheduled for 2024, was priced at US$99,990.

The Cybertruck uses a central, bi-directional gigabit Etherloop network with CAN bus satellite networks to operate vehicle systems. The result is that data travels over the same network, as opposed to traditional CAN bus systems which require individual connections, reducing the amount of wiring in the vehicle. Audio travels over the same network. For comparison, while the number of endpoints increased 50% over the Model 3, the amount of cross-vehicle wiring was reduced by two-thirds.
