Tesla Cybertruck Pricing Update: Higher Prices and Lower Range Estimates
Tesla Removes Rear-Wheel Drive Cybertruck and Increases Prices
- Tesla has removed the rear-wheel drive Cybertruck from its website and jacked up prices for the remaining
variants. - The model now starts at $99,990 and climbs to $119,990 for the range-topping Cyberbeast.
- Tesla also appears to have lowered range estimates.
If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing a Tesla Cybertruck, you might want to kick yourself as pricing now
begins at $99,990. That’s a massive increase as the configurator no longer lists the entry-level rear-wheel
drive variant, which was slated to arrive in 2025 and cost $60,990.
All-Wheel Drive Cybertruck Price Increase and Lower Range Estimate
On top of that, the all-wheel drive Cybertruck has seen its price skyrocket from $79,990 to $99,990. That’s a
sizable increase and the estimated range has fallen from 340 miles (547 km) to 318 miles (512 km). The other
specs carryover as Tesla says the 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS) pickup will accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in
4.1 seconds and have a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h).
Range-Topping Cyberbeast Price Increase and Lower Range Estimate
Pricing for the range-topping Cyberbeast has also climbed as the model now begins at $119,990. That’s up from
$99,990 despite seeing its range drop from an estimated 320 miles (515 km) to 301 miles (484 km). The other
numbers remain unchanged as Tesla claims the 845 hp (630 kW / 857 PS) Cyberbeast can accelerate from 0-60 mph
(0-96 km/h) in 2.6 seconds with rollout subtracted. The truck can also hit a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h)
and tow up to 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg).
Comparison with GMC Hummer EV Pickup
While prices have jumped by $20,000, it’s worth noting the Cybertruck is available exclusively in Foundation
Series guise. Tesla bills them as “fully optioned” limited editions, but they’re a far cry from the $39,900
pickup Elon Musk originally promised. It’s also worth noting the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is now cheaper than the
Cybertruck as it starts at $98,845 including a $2,295 destination fee. The Tesla, on the other hand, begins at
$101,985 when you factor in its $1,995 destination fee.
