The cheapest Tesla Cybertruck is $99,990; promised $60K model canceled

Tesla's Cybertruck, initially promised to start at $39,900, now has a minimum price of $99,990, following the cancellation of the previously announced $60,000 model. The vehicle's production has faced numerous challenges, including quality control issues and recalls, yet it has managed to outsell competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning, which is priced significantly lower. Despite the Cybertruck's unconventional design and high price point, it has become the best-selling vehicle over $100,000, with nearly three times the sales of the GMC Hummer EV in the second quarter of 2024. Analysts suggest that maintaining high sales volumes at this price level will be difficult for Tesla moving forward.

Tesla no longer has a wait on their $100K CyberTruck model, if you order it now Tesla says it will ship this month or next.

Tesla may have ramped production up dramatically - but it also means there is no remaining demand in their two million long preorder list for this model/price point. Also, they are only selling the "Foundation Series" which has all the options included.
