The Tesla Cybertruck has arrived in Malaysia just a few months after the brand’s first pick-up truck made its global debut last December. This revelation comes after a member of the paultan.org Automotive/Car Discussion Group on Facebook (and possibly an insider) posted this photo of a covered Cybertruck (that distinctive profile is unmistakable) with ‘Tesla Kuala Lumpur’ seen on a wall.
UPDATE: Tesla Malaysia has shared a video on Instagram showing the Cybertruck arriving via a cargo plane and being parked beside the Model 3 and Model Y, recreating the image seen in the Thailand teaser. The video has been added to this post.
If you check the official Tesla Malaysia website right now, you’ll see the Cybertruck listed alongside the Model 3 and Model Y, the latter two already launched here. There’s been no word if the Cybertruck will be sold here, so we can only assume the all-electric pick-up truck is here to be showcased – Thailand will welcome the model this week.
The Cybertruck is the first Tesla to use an 800V architecture for its high-voltage battery system as well as a 48-volt low-voltage electrical system. Other firsts include rear-wheel steering and a steer-by-wire system with a pair of electric motors on the front steering rack and one at the rear.
Deliveries of the Cybertruck have already started in the United States, where it is offered in three variants ranging from USD60,990 to USD99,990 (about RM290k to RM474k). The specifications of each variant are as follows:

- Towing capacity: 4,990 kg (11,000 lbs)
In terms of design, the Cybertruck is all angular and looks nearly identical to the prototype presented way back in November 2019. The outer panels, or “exoskeleton” according to Tesla, is made up of an ultra-hard stainless-steel that the company says reduces dents, damage, long-term corrosion and is even bulletproof (up to a degree). As for the interior, it’s typical Tesla minimalism with the main highlight being a large 18.5-inch touchscreen to access all vehicle functions and driving information.
Measuring 5,682 mm long, 2,413 mm wide with the side mirrors extended (2,200 mm retracted), 1,790 mm tall and with a wheelbase spanning 3,810 mm, the Cybertruck is a huge vehicle. For context, the Hilux Rogue we have here is 5,325 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, 1,815 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 3,085 mm.
