Major Price Adjustments
Last night, Tesla implemented significant price reductions on the Cybertruck to drive sales. The high-end tri-motor Cyberbeast now starts at $99,990, a $15,000 cut achieved by eliminating previously included features such as free supercharging and Full Self-Driving (FSD). This move reflects ongoing efforts to make the angular electric pickup more accessible amid softer demand.
New Entry-Level Configuration
Tesla introduced a dual-motor entry-level model at $59,990, delivering 325 miles (523 km) of range and a 4.1-second 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time matching the $79,990 premium all-wheel-drive version. This pricing undercuts the short-lived single-motor rear-wheel-drive variant from last year, which launched at $69,990 but saw minimal uptake before cancellation—offering an extra motor for $10,000 less and dipping below the originally promised RWD price.
Performance and Capacity Trade-Offs
To reach the lower price point, Tesla adjusted specifications on the entry-level model. While range and acceleration remain competitive with higher trims, towing capacity decreases from 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg) to 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg), and cargo capacity falls from 2,500 lbs (1,134 kg) to 2,006 lbs (910 kg). These changes maintain core appeal but prioritize affordability over maximum utility.
