At last, we have pricing for the Tesla Cybertruck production model, and while the electric pickup costs significantly more than what the EV maker announced four years ago, it is definitely an interesting proposition in the pickup segment.<\/p>\n
There’s a single-motor variant priced at $60,990, which is $21,000 more than the price announced four years ago. Still, this RWD variant\u00a0isn’t coming until 2025. The dual-motor\u00a0Tesla Cybertruck starts at $79,990, which is a whopping $30,000 more than the original price.<\/p>\n
As for the\u00a0tri-motor Cybertruck, or the Cyberbeast as Tesla calls it, it starts at $99,990, which is also $30,000\u00a0more than the original price. Both the dual-motor and the tri-motor variants arrive in 2024.<\/p>\n
While the price increases are massive, we shouldn’t forget about inflation, not to mention all the turmoil caused by the Covid-19 pandemic that disrupted supply chains and pretty much everything else since 2019. On top of that, Elon Musk said the Cybertruck is enormously challenging to build, so that’s probably reflected in the pricing as well.<\/p>\n
Obviously, looking at any price in isolation is one thing, but comparing it to what other vehicles cost is a completely different thing, so let’s see what else you can buy\u2014electric or gas-powered\u2014for the prices announced by Tesla for the Cybertruck.<\/p>\n
