Tesla Just Made The Cybertruck Way More Attainable, But You Have To Hurry!

If you’ve been eyeing the Tesla Cybertruck but couldn’t stomach the sticker price, this week’s news might be the push you needed. Tesla dropped a bombshell late Thursday night: a brand-new, more affordable Cybertruck trim has arrived, and their flagship Cyberbeast just dropped below the six-figure mark for the first time in a while.

The only catch? Elon Musk is already hinting that this deal might not stick around for long.

Tesla’s New Entry-Level Cybertruck Starts at $59,990

The headline move is the introduction of a new Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Cybertruck, with a starting price of $59,990 (or $62,235 when you factor in the $1,995 destination fee and $250 order fee). That makes it the most affordable Cybertruck Tesla has ever offered, coming in a full $20,000 below the Premium AWD trim that previously served as the entry point.

This new base model is a meaningful step down in price, but it’s not as stripped-down as you might fear. You still get dual-motor AWD, Tesla’s steer-by-wire system, four-wheel steering, an estimated 325 miles of range, and a 0–60 mph time of 4.1 seconds. It can also charge at up to 325 kW, giving you roughly 132 miles of range back in just 15 minutes at a Supercharger. And yes, it includes Powershare, Tesla’s V2X tech that lets you power your home or other devices right from the truck bed.

To hit that lower price point, Tesla did trim some features. Towing capacity drops from 11,000 lbs on the Premium to 7,500 lbs. You lose the air suspension (though adaptive damping is still there), the ventilated front seats, the rear 9.4-inch passenger display, two 120V cabin power outlets, and the white interior option. The audio system steps down from 15 speakers to 7, and the bed loses the under-floor storage trunk found on premium trims.

For a lot of guys, though, those trade-offs may be worth it. The core Cybertruck experience, the performance, the range, the utility, remains intact at a significantly lower price.

The Cyberbeast Just Dropped Below $100K

The other major news is that the Cyberbeast is getting a serious price reduction. Tesla’s top-of-the-line tri-motor Cybertruck drops from $114,990 down to $99,990 – that’s $102,235 with destination and order fees. For context, that reverses a $15,000 price hike that was applied back in August 2025, effectively resetting it to where it was before that increase.

If you want the full Cybertruck experience with every bell and whistle, the Cyberbeast remains the beast to beat. And getting it under the $100K psychological barrier is no small thing.

The Catch: Elon Musk Says It’s “Only for the Next 10 Days”

Here’s where things get interesting. Shortly after the announcement, Elon Musk took to X to add a sense of urgency and uncertainty to the deal. He posted that the new lower pricing is “Only for the next 10 days.”

When fans pushed back asking what happens after that window closes, Musk responded: “Depends on how much demand we see at this price level.” That suggests this could be a demand-testing window, essentially a flash sale to see how hungry buyers are at the $59,990 price point. If demand is strong, the price might stick. If not, it could rise again, or the trim could disappear entirely, as Tesla has done before.

This isn’t the first time Tesla has played this game. The company briefly sold a rear-wheel-drive Cybertruck for $69,990 before discontinuing it last year due to weak demand. History suggests you shouldn’t assume a deal like this will be around forever.

Why Is Tesla Cutting Prices Now?

The Cybertruck had a legitimately impressive debut. In 2024, it ranked as the third best-selling EV in America and was the best-selling vehicle over $100,000 for four consecutive months. That’s no small feat for a truck that looks like it rolled off a sci-fi movie set.

But 2025 told a different story. Cybertruck sales dropped sharply year-over-year, down roughly 19%, and Tesla was reportedly moving only around 5,000 units per quarter. That’s a far cry from the 250,000+ annual units the company once projected. With inventory piling up at Giga Texas, the price cuts look like a calculated move to clear stock and reignite consumer interest.

Tesla’s broader 2026 strategy also appears to be focused on lowering entry points across its lineup. The company recently introduced a more affordable AWD variant of the Model Y as well. Without a new mass-market vehicle in the pipeline just yet, dropping prices on existing models seems to be the primary lever Tesla is pulling to drive volume.

Should You Pull the Trigger?

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about the Tesla Cybertruck, the new $59,990 base trim is genuinely compelling. The performance and range hold up against the pricier trims, and while some creature comforts are gone, it’s still a serious truck with serious capability. The truck’s Powershare feature alone, which can back up your home’s power during an outage, is a game-changer that few trucks at any price can match.

The Cyberbeast dipping below $100K is equally noteworthy for anyone who wants all the bells and whistles and has the budget for it.

The clock, however, is ticking. With Musk having signaled that this pricing window may close within 10 days, anyone seriously considering a Cybertruck purchase would be wise to move quickly or at least get an order in to lock in the current price. What happens after the 10-day window is anyone’s guess, and that’s exactly how Musk seems to like it.
