Tesla Cybertruck orders open in Middle East starting at $116,000

Tesla’s all-electric Cybertruck is now available for order in some major Middle Eastern markets, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. The automaker is offering both the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and performance-based Cyberbeast trims, giving customers options for their driving needs.

In Saudi Arabia, the AWD Cybertruck starts at SAR 434,990 ($116,000), while the Cyberbeast begins at SAR 484,990 ($129,300). According to Tesla’s estimation, the AWD variant can travel about 523 km on a full charge. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, and tow up to 4,990 kg. The Cyberbeast takes performance even further, reaching 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.

Earlier this year, Tesla introduced the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Cybertruck in Saudi Arabia, which offered a lower starting price. It can cover a slightly longer range of 563 km with one full charge, although it has a slower acceleration compared to other trims. Deliveries for that model are expected to begin in late 2025. However, the auto company had discontinued the RWD trim in the US last month. This brings into question how long it will be available in markets outside North America.

The Middle East launch coincides with growing interest in premium electric vehicles in the region. There are now more government incentives and expanded charging networks, making the transition to electric mobility more appealing. The Cybertruck provides a compelling option long-range capability and significant towing power for Tesla and EV fans in the area looking for high performance electric pickups.

South Korea also received the AWD and Cyberbeast trims in August, showing Tesla’s continued push into international markets.
