Tesla Launches Cybertruck and Expands Sales to Saudi Arabia

Tesla announced a direct sales launch in Saudi Arabia alongside the Long Range RWD Cybertruck set for late 2025. The new truck variant is lighter and features a different spec profile from the AWD version. Additionally, new software updates are forthcoming, including Tire Fill Assist and a routing option emphasizing lower pricing. Visual enhancements for vehicle rendering are also planned, focusing on improved driver awareness.

Tesla has announced two major updates: the launch of its vehicles for direct sale in Saudi Arabia and the introduction of the Long Range RWD Cybertruck. This marks Tesla’s first official sales in Saudi Arabia, starting with the refreshed Model 3 and Model Y alongside the upcoming Cybertruck planned for late 2025.

The Long Range Rear Wheel Drive Cybertruck has been revealed on Tesla’s Middle Eastern website as a lighter option than the AWD version, featuring unique specifications. Currently, pricing information for the Cybertruck in Saudi Arabia is unavailable, leaving potential buyers in anticipation.

Comparing both variants, the LR RWD boasts a 350-mile range and a towing capacity of 2,775 kg, achieving 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. In contrast, the LR AWD has a range of 325 miles but a higher towing capacity of 3,009 kg with quicker acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds). The Cyberbeast variant shows even more power with 0-100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds.

A notable absence in the RWD version is the lack of air suspension and a rear screen, suggesting a shift towards a more cost-effective design aimed at work-truck users. The model introduces 18″ rims and follows a simpler aesthetic for buyers seeking a more fundamental electric truck experience.

Additionally, two new features are expected in Tesla software update 2025.8: Tire Fill Assist and an improved routing option focused on lower charging costs. Tire Fill Assist would allow vehicle tire pressure monitoring during inflation, enhancing user convenience. The routing feature will help drivers find more cost-effective charging options, aiming to balance speed with savings.

Tesla plans to render vehicles like the Cybertruck and trailers in its visualization system, enhancing in-car displays for better driver awareness. This follows a previous commitment from Elon Musk to improve vehicle representation in the Autopilot/FSD system. Updates to visualizations are also expected to improve object identification for increased accuracy.

Tesla is making significant strides by expanding its market into Saudi Arabia and introducing a new variant of its Cybertruck. The Long Range RWD Cybertruck aims to attract buyers looking for a less expensive, feature-reduced truck. Furthermore, the upcoming software enhancements, Tire Fill Assist and optimized routing options, show Tesla’s commitment to improving user experience. Lastly, improvements to vehicle visualizations promise better information display for drivers.
