Tesla’s Cybertruck – the once highly anticipated utilitarian electric truck that finally hit the market two years ago – has begun its first deliveries outside of the US and Canada.
On X, the company shared a post that deliveries have officially started in South Korea, with first owners in the market receiving their Cybertrucks.
The post by Tesla Korea said: “On November 27, 2025, the first Cybertruck deliveries were completed in Korea. An event filled with excitement for a truly groundbreaking vehicle. Thanks to the unwavering support of our owners, Cybertruck has made its debut on Korean roads. We look forward to seeing more Cybertrucks across Korea soon.”
The Cybertruck is available in two key configurations in the South Korean market. These variants and their equivalent prices, in Australian dollars, are:
- AWD – $A151,700
- Tri-motor Cyberbeast – $A167,300
The AWD has a dual-motor powertrain and a larger 123 kWh battery pack. This helps this variant sprint from 0-100 km/h in under 4.5 seconds while delivering over 520 km of EPA range. It is also capable of towing 5-tonne which may be something a few early owners in South Korean market are looking for.
From there, the top-spec Cyberbeast reduces the sprint times to 2.7 seconds while increasing the top-speed of the truck to 210 km/h.
Tesla’s website in the market also shows that the Cybertruck comes with a 5-star safety rating, which is likely to be on the back of the 5 star safety rating provided by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The rating revealed that the Cybertruck had the lowest overall probability of injury & lowest chance of rollover (12.4% rollover risk) of any pickup truck tested by the NHTSA.
Here in Australia, over the last 18 months, Tesla has showcased the Cybertrucks at multiple EV shows across the country.
Along with that, a few examples have been at special Tesla showroom locations across the country, with the most recent being in Burleigh on the Gold Coast in Queensland. A right-hand-drive version might not be too far away.
However, sales of the Cybertruck have been lower than expected, with just 5,385 units sold in the September quarter and around 16,000 for the year. The fall is being blamed on recalls, the expiry of the US EV tax credit, and recalls and other issues.
