Tesla has stopped accepting orders for the most affordable version of the electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck RWD, which cost $60,990. At the same time, the company has increased the price of the next in the line Cybertruck AWD by $20,000 to $99,990, writes Jalopnik. Now, to become the owner of an electric pickup truck, you need to pay $39,000 more than before.
The most powerful representative of the series, the Cyberbeast pickup truck, equipped with a three-motor power plant, has also become more expensive, the price of which has increased from $99,990 to $119,990. Considering that Tesla announced in 2019 that the Cybertruck will cost from $39,990, the updated prices are unlikely to please consumer, noted The Verge resource.
On the other hand, Tesla has reduced delivery times for pickup trucks. Whereas previously the Cybertruck AWD and Cyberbeast would have had to wait until 2025, Tesla now plans to begin delivering all-wheel drive Cybertrucks to customers between August and September 2024, and Cyberbeast models between October and December 2024.
Last October, CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla had about 1 million pre-orders for electric pickup trucks. Some customers have indicated that they are waiting for more affordable versions of the Cybertruck, since the prices of the currently introduced versions are higher and the range is shorter than originally predicted. “This shows demand is well under a million pickups,” Guidehouse Insights analyst Sam Abuelsamid told Reuters.
Musk also promised that Tesla will produce about 200 thousand Cybertrucks per year. The company sold about 4,800 electric pickups in July, its highest monthly sales volume to date. This has made the Cybertruck the best-selling vehicle in the US at over $100,000, according to Cox Automotive. “They have sold over 16,000 so far, but maintaining strong sales at this price will be challenging,” a Cox Automotive spokesperson told Reuters in an email. .
