Tesla begins Cybertruck deliveries in UAE with Dubai launch event

Tesla has officially begun delivering its Cybertruck in the UAE, marking a major milestone in the company’s regional expansion as the first owners took delivery during an exclusive launch event in Dubai.

The event brought together more than 130 guests and saw more than 60 Cybertruck vehicles handed over to customers, making it one of the largest single-day Cybertruck delivery moments outside the United States.

The Dubai event featured a tailored experience centred on the Cybertruck, including demonstrations of on-road and off-road accessories, a showcase of the Cyberbeast trimotor technology, and an interactive Cybertruck Smash panel game highlighting the vehicle’s durability. The evening also included a live fire show.

Later in the night, the first owners participated in a synchronised Light Show involving all Cybertrucks delivered that day, creating what Tesla described as the largest Cybertruck Light Show staged in the UAE.

Tesla Cybertruck test drives in the UAE

From January 21, Cybertruck test drives are available free of charge at Tesla locations across the UAE.

Test drives are currently offered at:

• Abu Dhabi: Tesla Centre Abu Dhabi
• Dubai: Tesla Centre Dubai; Tesla Retail Store City Centre Mirdif
• Sharjah: Tesla City Centre Al Zahia pop-up
• Ras Al Khaimah: Manar Mall pop-up

Cybertruck’s futuristic design draws inspiration from cyberpunk aesthetics, with influences seen in films such as Blade Runner and The Spy Who Loved Me. Its angular exoskeleton, materials and overall form set it apart from conventional pickup trucks.

The vehicle’s structural skin is made from Ultra-Hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel, designed to resist dents, damage and long-term corrosion. Cybertruck features a cargo bed offering nearly 1,700 litres of lockable storage, with an electrified tonneau cover that self-locks to create a secure compartment.

A powered front trunk, capable of carrying up to 200kg, replaces the traditional engine bay and provides additional storage capacity.

The performance-focused Cyberbeast variant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds. Equipped with steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering, it delivers sports car-level handling and a turning circle tighter than most sedans.

Cybertruck’s all-electric platform provides a low centre of gravity, high torque and enhanced traction control. The vehicle is engineered for extreme off-road performance, featuring four-wheel steering, instant torque delivery, adaptive damping, adjustable air springs, and front and rear differential lockers.

Its adaptive air suspension provides up to 406mm of ground clearance and adjusts in milliseconds to suit different terrains, including sand dunes and rocky landscapes. Dedicated Off-Road and Baja modes allow advanced control by optimising suspension performance and modifying traction systems for high-speed desert and dirt-road driving.
