The engine

Dual Electric Motors

Dual-Motor Electric

A motor on each axle delivers instant torque, all-wheel grip, and the effortless, silent surge Tesla is famous for — from the Model Y to the stainless Cybertruck.

Built on Tesla's continuously-refined drive units and vast Supercharger and software ecosystem, the dual-motor layout is the backbone of the lineup.

Over-the-air updates can unlock more performance after you've bought the car.
The Cybertruck adds rear-wheel steering to this dual-motor base.
