Tesla Cybertruck now starts at $109,990, up 57% since August

Tesla has greyed out every Cybertruck trim except the Cyberbeast, now $109,990. The cheapest truck you can order costs 57% more than it did in early August.

The cheapest Tesla Cybertruck you can order in the US now costs $109,990. In early August, it was $69,990.

Tesla is selling only one version of the Cybertruck: the tri-motor Cyberbeast, which just got another $7,500 price hike. The Dual Motor and Premium AWD trims are still on Tesla's configurator, but both are greyed out and can't be selected. That's a 57% jump from the August entry price.

A week ago the Cyberbeast cost $102,490, and before that $99,990. So it has gone up $10,000, or 10%, in about a week, while the truck itself hasn't changed: 320 miles of estimated range, 11,000 lbs of towing and 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

What happened to the cheaper Cybertruck trims?

On November 6, the day Elon Musk announced the end of Cybertruck production, Tesla raised prices by up to 10% and paused orders for the base Dual Motor. That left the $92,490 Premium AWD as the entry point. Now it's gone too, with no announcement. Tesla's inventory search also showed no new Cybertrucks within 200 miles of Los Angeles.

Musk has since extended production through the end of summer 2027 to work through the order backlog. He also said orders "far exceed" production and that Tesla would "have to return deposits for a lot of people."

Is there really a Cybertruck backlog?

The sales numbers are less clear. Electrek estimates Tesla delivered 7,000 to 8,000 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, about 30,000 a year, on a line with more than 125,000 units of installed capacity. In February, Tesla was offering a dual-motor truck at $59,990 for "only the next 10 days." That is $50,000 less than today's cheapest option.

Some of those $59,990 buyers are still waiting, with delivery dates pushed into 2027. Tesla hasn't said whether their orders, or other Dual Motor and Premium orders in the queue, will be built before production ends.

For anyone who wants a Cybertruck that isn't a Cyberbeast, the only route left is the used market. Back in 2019, Tesla said the truck would start at $39,900.
