1:12Tesla cuts Cybertruck prices: new AWD base model from $59,990, Cyberbeast under $100,000
Tesla's updated 2026 Cybertruck lineup brings a cheaper dual-motor version and cuts about $15,000 from the top trims. Here is what you get, and what was removed.
After a year of falling sales, Tesla has reworked the Cybertruck lineup in the US with significantly lower prices.
The new lineup
- New base AWD: $59,990 before destination and order fees, around $62,235 all-in. That is $10,000 less than the previous cheapest Cybertruck.
- Higher trims: the premium AWD and the Cyberbeast are each about $15,000 cheaper.
- Cyberbeast: now under $100,000, partly by dropping some luxury features and no longer including FSD.
What the base AWD keeps
Unlike the short-lived rear-wheel-drive version from 2025, which sold poorly, the new entry model keeps the features buyers care about most: two motors and all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension damping, Powershare outlets to power tools or a house, and a tonneau cover over the bed. All versions keep the stainless-steel body, the large bed and the built-in ramp.
Why Tesla is doing this
US Cybertruck sales almost halved in 2025, to about 20,000 according to Cox Automotive. The end of the federal EV tax credit made it even harder to sell a truck that cost far more than the $39,900 promised at its 2019 unveiling. Lower prices are Tesla's most direct lever to win buyers back.
Is it a good deal?
At around $60,000, the dual-motor Cybertruck competes more directly with electric pickups like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T, and with well-equipped gasoline trucks. Final EPA range figures for the revised trims had not been published at launch, so compare range and towing figures before ordering.
What to watch
Whether lower prices lift sales in 2026, and how Tesla handles owners who paid much more only months earlier.
