Tesla, under the leadership of Elon Musk, introduced this concept in 2019 and began manufacturing the model last year. This particular Cyberbeast is the first to be auctioned, as its owner seeks to capitalize on its rarity and allure.
Initially sold for around £78,000 ($99,000), this Cyberbeast is now up for bidding at RM Sotheby’s, starting at £60,000 ($75,000). With no reserve set, the online bids have already reached £133,000 ($168,000). The auction will close next Tuesday, April 9.
A spokesperson for RM Sotheby’s highlighted the significance of this event: “Tesla’s latest marvel, the Cyberbeast, will make its auction debut in an online event, exclusively through Sotheby’s Motorsport.
The auction, open for bidding through 9 April, presents a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire the very hard-to-acquire CyberBeast.”
Colleen Cash, President of Sotheby’s Motorsport, emphasized the cultural impact of the Cyberbeast: “The Cybertruck and Cyberbeast have seized the global spotlight in a manner unlike any other vehicle launch before, marking a pop culture phenomenon.
We believe that the Cyberbeast will become an iconic symbol of this era, much like the DeLorean has for past generations. This auction represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.”
The auction listing, as reported by Luxury Auto News, underscores Tesla’s disruptive entry into the EV truck market: “Known for disruption, Tesla’s entry into the EV truck segment elicited a response.
Longer, wider, faster—and loaded with unprecedented innovation beside its contemporaries, the pickup redefined an American mainstay. Choice in single, dual, and tri-motor variants yielded a spectrum of not-so-mild to wild combined with the automaker’s signature of quiet luxury beneath stainless-steel bodywork.”
The Tesla Cyberbeast, with its futuristic design and groundbreaking features, is poised to become a coveted collector’s item, representing the cutting edge of automotive technology and design.
