- Tesla has removed the rear-wheel drive Cybertruck from its website and jacked up prices for the remaining variants.
- The model now starts at $99,990 and climbs to $119,990 for the range-topping Cyberbeast.
- Tesla also appears to have lowered range estimates.
If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing a Tesla Cybertruck, you might want to kick yourself as pricing now begins at $99,990. That’s a massive increase as the configurator no longer lists the entry-level rear-wheel drive variant, which was slated to arrive in 2025 and cost $60,990.
On top of that, the all-wheel drive Cybertruck has seen its price skyrocket from $79,990 to $99,990. That’s a sizable increase and the estimated range has fallen from 340 miles (547 km) to 318 miles (512 km). The other specs carryover as Tesla says the 600 hp (447 kW / 608 PS) pickup will accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.1 seconds and have a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h).

Pricing for the range-topping Cyberbeast has also climbed as the model now begins at $119,990. That’s up from $99,990 despite seeing its range drop from an estimated 320 miles (515 km) to 301 miles (484 km).
The other numbers remain unchanged as Tesla claims the 845 hp (630 kW / 857 PS) Cyberbeast can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 2.6 seconds with rollout subtracted. The truck can also hit a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h) and tow up to 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg).
New Cybertruck pricing
While prices have jumped by $20,000, it’s worth noting the Cybertruck is available exclusively in Foundation Series guise. Tesla bills them as “fully optioned” limited editions, but they’re a far cry from the $39,900 pickup Elon Musk originally promised.
It’s also worth noting the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is now cheaper than the Cybertruck as it starts at $98,845 including a $2,295 destination fee. The Tesla, on the other hand, begins at $101,985 when you factor in its $1,995 destination fee.
