Tesla has officially launched sales of its Cybertruck in Qatar, marking a significant milestone in the company’s Middle East expansion strategy. This follows Tesla’s earlier rollout in Saudi Arabia in April 2025, where the Cybertruck was unveiled alongside a refreshed Model Y lineup.
Qatar now joins the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as the first wave of international markets for the Cybertruck outside North America. Tesla plans to support regional customers through online ordering, pop-up showrooms, Supercharger stations, and service centers, ensuring a seamless purchase and ownership experience.
Cybertruck Variants and Pricing in Qatar
-
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Cybertruck: QAR 384,990 (~$105,750)
-
Cyberbeast Performance Variant: QAR 434,990 (~$119,000)
Deliveries for both models are expected to commence in March 2026, according to Tesla’s official website.
Strategic Move Amid Slowing Core Market Demand
Tesla’s Middle East expansion comes as demand growth in U.S. and Chinese markets slows and competition intensifies from manufacturers like BYD, Zeekr, and Lucid Motors. By entering Qatar and strengthening presence in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Tesla aims to sustain growth, capture new customers, and solidify its regional market share.
Production and Global Context
While Tesla has not provided region-specific Cybertruck sales, U.S. filings show 46,096 units produced between November 2023 and early 2025. The Saudi launch also signified a reconciliation with the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, following past disputes related to Tesla’s privatization plans.
The company recently posted record deliveries in Q3 2025, primarily driven by U.S. buyers seeking to claim a $7,500 EV tax credit before its expiry on September 30. Analysts project that international market expansion will be key for Tesla to offset potential slowdowns in Q4 and beyond.
Implications for the Middle East EV Market
Tesla’s move into Qatar is expected to accelerate EV adoption in the region, leveraging a combination of charging infrastructure, service support, and brand recognition. The launch highlights the growing potential for premium electric vehicles in the Gulf countries, as consumers increasingly embrace sustainable and technologically advanced mobility solutions.
