Over the last 24 hours or less, videos of a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck in Ghana have been flooding social media platforms.

The luxury vehicle, owned by Kwame Despite Osei, has gotten many people talking, with the conversations surrounding how the media mogul and businessman has a high interest in cars.

This Cybertruck will be his latest toy, as it were.

GhanaWeb looks at the car in perspective, as well as some of its main features.

Here they are:

According to cars.usnews.com, an entry-level rear-wheel-drive model is set for availability in 2025, but for now, the base Cybertruck is the dual-motor All-Wheel Drive, which has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $79,990.

This 600-horsepower model has an estimated 340 miles of range and a top speed of 112 mph.

The price of the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck starts at $81,895 and goes up to $101,985 depending on the trim and options.

Until the rear-wheel-drive Cybertruck arrives for the next model year, with a starting price of $62,985, the lineup only includes the Dual Motor and Beast models.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

The Cybertruck will eventually offer three different powertrain arrangements. At launch, dual- and tri-motor models will be available and offer all-wheel drive; a rear-wheel-drive single-motor model will join the lineup for the 2025 model year.

For now, the Cybertruck Dual Motor generates a combined 600 horsepower.

All Cybertrucks have an adjustable air suspension that can be raised or lowered on the fly and provides up to 17 inches of ground clearance. Add that to its 35-degree approach and 28-degree departure angles, and the Tesla pickup could prove to be a formidable off-road machine.

On the road, the big Cybertruck feels more agile than expected. In a test drive, it was found that its combination of rear-wheel steering and variable-ratio steer-by-wire system made for easier maneuvering in urban environments than a typical pickup truck.
