For most used buyers the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck to look for is the dual-motor AWD: it carries the truck's first EPA rating (325 miles), keeps the air suspension and bed outlets, and the model year has only three recalls. The other two trims suit narrower needs, and one of them was on sale for just five months.
Three trims, one of them short-lived
Long Range RWD. Tesla added a single-motor truck in April 2025 at $69,990 and dropped it in September 2025. It got the best EPA figure of the year, 335 miles, but Tesla stripped a lot to reach the price: no adaptive air suspension, no ventilated seats, no rear screen, no powered tonneau and no bed outlets. Our sources do not confirm its battery size, onboard charger rating or Supercharging peak, so ask the seller to show the charging screen.
AWD. The volume truck at $79,990, rated 325 miles and 79 MPGe. It keeps everything the RWD dropped, including bed outlets that make Powershare useful on a job site.
Cyberbeast. Three motors and a Tesla-claimed 2.6 s to 60 mph. Edmunds lists $99,990 early in the year and $114,990 later. We found no 2025 EPA entry for it.
The first EPA numbers
| Trim | EPA range | Efficiency | Home AC max | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWD (dual motor) | 325 mi | 79 MPGe | 11.5 kW | $79,990 |
| Long Range RWD | 335 mi | 82 MPGe | n/a | $69,990 |
| Cyberbeast (tri-motor) | n/a | n/a | 11.5 kW | $99,990 |
The 2024 trucks only had Tesla estimates. For 2025 the EPA rated the AWD at 325 miles, lower than Tesla's 340-mile estimate for the 2024 AWD. Tires matter too: Edmunds notes Tesla quotes 325 miles on all-season tires and 314 on all-terrain tires. The Long Range RWD drops to 78 MPGe on the 20 in Cyber wheels.
Running cost follows efficiency. The AWD's 79 MPGe works out to about 42.7 kWh per 100 miles. At the July 2026 US average of 18.31 cents/kWh, 1,000 miles costs 427 x $0.1831 = about $78. The RWD at 82 MPGe (about 41.1 kWh per 100 miles) costs about $75. Your utility's overnight rate may be much lower; our guide to electricity cost per charge shows how to work it out.
The range extender is gone for good. Tesla removed it from its site in April 2025 and refunded deposits, so no 2025 has one.

That is a much shorter list than the 2024 Cybertruck recalls, which run to 11. The launch-year pedal, inverter and wiper problems do not appear on the 2025 list. Edmunds' general complaints about the truck still apply: vague steer-by-wire feel, poor rear view with the tonneau closed, uneven panel gaps and wind noise on all-terrain tires.
Complaints to NHTSA:
24 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2025 Cybertruck. Most frequent areas (approximate order): electrical system; forward collision avoidance; lane departure; seats; structure; steering. Source: NHTSA complaints database.
NHTSA has a five-star overall rating on file for the 2024 AWD; our data shows no separate rating listed for the 2025 model year.
Home charging: 48 A, a big pack and Powershare
| How you charge | Speed |
|---|---|
| Wall Connector at 48 A (11.5 kW, 60 A breaker) | up to 30 mi of range per hour |
| NEMA 14-50 outlet, Mobile Connector at 32 A | about 20 mi per hour |
| Regular 120 V outlet | 2 to 3 mi per hour |
| Empty to full, largest pack (about 123 kWh) | about 12 hours at 11.5 kW |
Rates scale Tesla's published Wall Connector table for this model; older cars and cold batteries charge slower. Times are estimates.
Tesla's table gives the Cybertruck (Premium AWD) about 30 miles of range per hour on a 48 A Wall Connector, 25 at 40 A and 20 at 32 A. With a pack of roughly 123 kWh, a full charge takes about 11 to 12 hours at 48 A. A truck owner who drives 60 miles a day needs about 2 hours of 48 A charging to put it back, so a 50 A or even 40 A circuit can be enough if your panel is short on capacity. Our page on amp settings for home charging has the full breaker table.
Powershare changes the calculation. Using the truck as home backup, at up to 11.5 kW, needs a Universal Wall Connector or Wall Connector 3 depending on your setup, with a Powershare Gateway for whole-home use. If backup power is part of why you want the truck, plan the charger, gateway and panel work as one job with a certified installer; our Wall Connector install guide explains the basic circuit. The Long Range RWD has no bed outlets, so check its Powershare capability with Tesla before planning around it.
Away from home, V4 cabinet Superchargers deliver up to 325 kW; V3 sites are slower. Tesla's CCS1 adapter is listed as not compatible with Cybertruck, so non-Tesla fast charging depends on networks adding NACS plugs. See using non-Tesla chargers for where that stands.
Picking a 2025 against 2024 and 2026
- Over a 2024: fewer recalls, a real EPA rating and no Foundation Series premium baked into the price.
- Over a 2026: the 2026 brought a cheaper Dual Motor AWD with coil springs; the 2025 AWD keeps air suspension. Compare both on the 2026 Cybertruck page.
All three years side by side: Tesla Cybertruck years.
2025 Cybertruck questions, answered
What is the EPA range of the 2025 Cybertruck?
The EPA rates the 2025 AWD at 325 miles and 79 MPGe, and the Long Range RWD at 335 miles and 82 MPGe (78 MPGe on 20 in Cyber wheels). We found no 2025 EPA entry for the Cyberbeast. Edmunds notes Tesla's own estimates of 325 miles on all-season tires and 314 on all-terrain tires for the AWD.
What did the 2025 Cybertruck Long Range RWD leave out?
Compared with the AWD, the single-motor Long Range RWD had no adaptive air suspension, no ventilated seats, no rear touchscreen, no powered tonneau cover and no bed power outlets, so no Powershare outlets in the bed. It launched in April 2025 at $69,990 and was dropped in September 2025. Its onboard charger rating is not confirmed in our sources.
How many recalls does the 2025 Cybertruck have?
Three as of October 2026. The stainless cant rail panel near the light bar could detach (25V170000, service visit). Front parking lights were too bright on software before 2025.38.3 (25V699000, fixed over the air). Trucks with 18 in steel wheels could crack brake rotor stud holes (26V255000, service visit).
Did the 2025 Cybertruck get the range extender?
No. The bed-mounted range extender Tesla promised at launch was never delivered. Tesla removed the option from its website in April 2025 and refunded deposits. If a used listing claims a range extender, ask for proof, because Tesla never sold one. Range figures for the truck should be judged without it.
How fast does a 2025 Cybertruck charge at home?
The AWD and Cyberbeast take up to 48 A (11.5 kW), which Tesla says adds about 30 miles of range per hour on a Wall Connector with a 60 A breaker. A NEMA 14-50 outlet with the Mobile Connector gives 32 A, about 20 miles per hour. Empty to full takes roughly 11 to 12 hours at 48 A.
