The Tesla Cybertruck has once again captured the spotlight — this time through an official release from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The newly published specifications provide long-awaited details about the most anticipated electric pickup on the market. While not all of these revelations are groundbreaking, they do give EV enthusiasts a clearer picture of Tesla’s futuristic truck.
Battery and Power Details
According to the Certification Summary Information Report filed just ten days before Tesla’s delivery event on November 21, 2023, the Tesla Cybertruck features a total battery pack voltage of 816 volts, a battery capacity of 150 Ah, and a specific energy rating of 170 Wh/kg.
These figures translate to an estimated 122.4 kWh battery capacity, which closely matches previous unofficial reports of around 123 kWh. As expected, Tesla has not publicly disclosed the exact battery size, making these EPA documents a valuable source of insight.
Tesla’s Efficient Heat Pump System
The EPA report also confirms the inclusion of a heat pump in the Tesla Cybertruck — a vital feature that boosts energy efficiency and extends driving range.

Tesla’s advanced heat pump design reuses heat generated by the battery and drive units to warm the cabin, reducing energy waste and improving range, especially during cold weather conditions.
The system includes a variable-speed electric fan mounted at the front of the chassis, distributing warm air to the defrost, face-level, and floor vents. This setup helps minimize energy consumption for heating and cooling, improving overall vehicle efficiency.
Unique Charging Port Design
Another interesting detail from the EPA documents concerns the Cybertruck’s charging port, located on the rear left fender. The port includes a distinctive state-of-charge (SoC) indicator shaped like the Cybertruck itself — a signature Tesla touch that blends function with style.
- Solid white light – The charging cable is ready for insertion or removal.
- Orange light – The cable is not securely latched.
- Flashing blue light – Charging is in progress.
This thoughtful design adds visual appeal while enhancing user convenience during the charging process.
Weight and Build
The Tesla Cybertruck is as heavy-duty as it looks. The Cyberbeast trim weighs 3,129 kg, while the all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant comes in at 3,025 kg. Both versions share a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,159 kg, emphasizing the truck’s solid build and impressive load-bearing capacity.
Details about the rear-wheel-drive version, expected in 2025, are still under wraps, as the EPA has not yet released those documents.
The EPA’s official Tesla Cybertruck data reinforces what many have suspected — it’s a rugged, high-performance electric truck designed with both innovation and practicality in mind. From its powerful 800-volt battery system to its intelligent heat pump and stylish charging interface, the Cybertruck continues to redefine what an electric pickup can be.
As the production and deliveries continue to roll out, the Tesla Cybertruck remains a bold symbol of Tesla’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of EV technology.
