• Last night, Tesla made some hefty cuts to Cybertruck pricing in an effort to stimulate some sales. • The bombastic tri-motor “Cyberbeast” is $15,000 cheaper at $99,990, albeit by dropping some previously free features like supercharging andFSD. • And there’s now a new $59,990 entry-level model, a dual-motor configuration with a range of 325 miles (523 km) and the same 4.1-second 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time as the $79,990 premium all-wheel drive version. • That actually makes the new entry-level model a good deal, at least in terms of Cybertrucks. • Last year, the companyintroduced and then eliminateda single-motor rear-wheel drive variant, which found few takers when priced at $69,990; an extra motor for $10,000 less is quite a savings, and actually slightly cheaper than theprice originally advertised for the RWD truck. • As you might expect, Tesla has made some changes to get down to the new price.
Article Summaries:
- Tesla has reduced Cybertruck prices to spur sales, cutting the tri‑motor “Cyberbeast” to $99,990 by removing free features such as supercharging and full‑self‑driving. A new entry‑level dual‑motor model is now priced at $59,990, offering a 325‑mile range and 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds-matching the $79,990 premium version-while dropping towing capacity from 11,000 to 7,000 lbs and cargo capacity from 2,500 to 2,006 lbs. The lower‑cost variant also replaces air suspension with steel springs, removes seat ventilation and heaters, reduces speaker count, and eliminates active noise cancellation. These changes aim to make the Cybertruck more affordable and easier to produce.
