Vaportruck lol
they’re lowballing suppliers right now
Isn't that what people said Cybertruck to begin with? That it would never come out? New orders are now estimated for 2027 because they got too many orders at this price for their level of production. People who ordered earlier this week have estimated delivery dates of just a few months from now.
I’m not surprised if they got a shit ton of demand for this. When he unveil this, it was suppose to be 40k. Then everyone just got turned off at the 80k price. Looks like prices are finally coming down. If i wasn’t stuck on a lease, i would get as well.
Nah, they’re just FOMO-ing. Unless you’re saying Tesla product and marketing team are stupid af and didn’t anticipate a high influx of orders.
Makes no sense at all. They don’t have the parts ready yet or final design so they are just pushing it because it’s not ready. Demand wouldn’t delay an existing delivery date unless the car wasn’t ready which this isn’t. Demand just makes rolling delivery dates
I think it's all artificial. They can crank these out if they want to.
I mean Tesla doesn’t do marketing. It’s just Elon and his tweets, RWD cyber trucks are still rotting on lots rn they were already struggling to move inventory as is. whether they anticipated it or not is a different story entirely.
I would be shocked if they got a shit ton of orders. Sales of this truck have been absolutely in freefall. This lower price might stop that freefall or help level off sales some, but I think these trucks are low priority and they are only going to make a certain number of them each month, behind sales of the more expensive CTs. This helps create artificial demand and, who knows maybe some of these folks will get tired of waiting and upgrade. The CT is still a joke.
What are you talking about? They can only make so many vehicles per week. So if a higher number of people order than the number of vehicles they can make for the rest of the year, then obviously some of those people will get their vehicles next year. So people who ordered early will get one of the first vehicles produced, which will happen in a few months. But people ordering now will have to wait until everyone who already ordered before gets their vehicles, so that's why those late people have to wait until 2027. Maybe you're confused because you don't realize that people who already ordered still have delivery dates of a few months from now? Do you think everyone's date got pushed to 2027? Because that's not what happened. This is for new orders only.
Turns out they are selling has always been a price issue. 🤷🏻♂️
No one is getting their car at the original delivery date which is my point?
Yeah...it is the same truck with a lower tow rating, but otherwise everything is the same, and luxury features have been stripped down. It is not smaller, or has a different battery, or anything of that sort.
That's not how vehicle production works. It takes time to ramp up a production line. If they're currently producing 500 vehicles per week on the line, they can't just instantly start producing 2,000 vehicles per week to more quickly get through a big order backlog.
Everyone always brings up the cost being oppressive, but it seems that they don’t know that there are plenty of normal looking trucks that cost 80k+ that people are buying
Not true. Early orders are still scheduled for the original delivery date. The 2027 thing is for new orders only. That's why you're confused.
I mean...its literally not, lol
Even if it’s the same, doesn’t matter - if their supply chain hasn’t or can’t catch up. That’s likely the real issue here.
While i halfway agree with you. 1. This isin't some totally new truck/model its the same truck. 2. The sale was for 10 days Lets be real, they did not sell that many in 10 days.
Possible, but in the past Tesla has always prioritized selling, not producing per se, higher cost models. Even for Model 3 in 2019 or so time period, if you bought upgraded wheels you got the car delivered much sooner than standard wheels. So it is not out of question that they are trying to sell the 80K truck, but my guess is in this greed, they will end up losing potential sales instead
Shouldn't new models increase in price every year? 🤔
But truck people are not typically EV people.
Obviously it's mostly the same truck, but it still takes time to secure higher volumes of parts from suppliers, actually receive those parts at the higher rate, ramp up the line to faster rates and troubleshoot all the issues that arise from that, etc. I don't think you realize what a 25% reduction in price does to the quantity demanded for a vehicle. For some perspective, a good rule of thumb in the industry is that a 50% reduction in price results in 10x more sales. So already the steady state order rate for this cheaper version could be multiple times higher than what they had before. And that's just the steady state. Obviously when you first release a new product, you get a big wave of people all at once that's significantly higher than the steady state. Add to that the fact that the price is temporary and people are clamoring to order before the price goes up, and you can see how the volume of orders they receive here could be massively higher than their previous order rate.
They can leave their friends behind
Kind of crazy that people were paying so much for these early on. Weren't folks putting out like $120k +? I looked it up and the highest recorded was $290k at a dealership that had bought it for $244k. Imagine being the guy that just make enough profit from buying a selling 1 car to almost buy that small car now.
I just wish this same model was 40k. I really can’t afford a 70k truck lol. 40k would be more realistic for me
Not if there’s no demand.
The $40k truck was single motor and pre-Covid inflation.
So another day in the automotive world.
[deleted]
I get it from an affordability standpoint, but $40k is also unrealistic relative to the market. For 4-door 4WD trucks, $40k gets you a low-trim Tacoma, not a full-size anything. The cheapest MSRP for a an F150 with 4 doors and 4WD is $51k and you’re getting a turd of an engine and an actually barebones interior (vs people acting like Teslas are barebones).
It has a different battery from what i saw
Idk, I know it’s anecdotal but I live in rural Oregon and I see a surprising number of Lightings, Silverados and Sierra EVs. I think they would have yielded much better results if they made a vehicle that appeals to truck people instead of dorky Elon simps who have never done manual labor in their lives lol.
A big order backlog… lol
[deleted]
Have you guys thought that maybe they have a lot of orders now that it’s cheaper? Kinda makes sense…
Why not just keep the S/X and lower those prices? Elon is just too prideful to say “Yeah, the CT was a failure.” I’ve got a Model 3 and two Y’s(One being a Juniper). I’d never in a million years pay a 100k for either a S and a X. If it was 60ish? Sure. I think most people would as well.
they'll just sell you old inventory. "hey you got the 80k version for 60k, you should be thankful! never mind it's been sitting in a parking lot for the last 2 years"
Lol it takes time to ramp a production line up to its installed capacity.
Not sure why people think it’s a bad deal. With the X gone, CyberTruck is the next best thing. I’m not a truck guy but the view from inside the truck is pretty nice and spacious. Go to the showroom and seat in one. It is a great deal at $60k
Estimated delivery dates of 2027 for new orders absolutely means it's a big backlog. At least relative to their current production rate.
I’m thinkin about just placing my order today just to lock in the price No guarantee I will get this when it’s available
Exactly, its a two way street. I'd even say Tier 1 suppliers have leverage right now. There's plenty of OEMs right now to give them business, non-EV platforms included.
🎯🎯 the only number that matters.. it’s a shit show at Tesla. Musk is literally all over the place, with all his businesses failing while he’s focused on Grok and midterms .. if Apple decides to compete with starlink it’s a wrap, he’s going to stop selling tires with your Tesla, you’ll need $1500 reservation, must add FSD, and the wait is 2 years 😭😭😭😭
So true, they could have hit it out of the park with sales if they made it appealing to the eye
There’s a lot more to deciding on a vehicle than it feels nice to sit in. The Cyber truck is big, delicate (for a truck) and not practical.
Or… they’re cutting production.
This seems to baffle Elon judging by his comments about people wanting their products but just own they just "literally can't afford it." Like no shit that's a problem. You're the CEO of a company that sells goods. How do you not understand people will not buy things they either can't afford or don't feel are worth it?
You’re silly if you think none of this went through multiple people
"Bestselling ev pickup of 2025 is a joke" - ^ this guy
The 0-60 is also the same so the drivetrain is likely identical.
I’m just waiting for the used market to go down to around 60k. I need that towing power to haul my dump trailer.
It has the same range, same battery and motors. Power output is also the same
When I preordered in 2020, we were told $40,000. I can’t defend spending over $45k on this unfortunately. Model S is more worth it to me.
I wanted to order one I saw estimate delivery next year so I decided not to get one 😂
People not realizing Tesla has zero interest in ever shipping trucks to these people. They literally took orders knowing they’d never be delivered. We built the factory in Texas in 18 months yet they want to pretend it will take that long to get production going on a vehicle that maybe sold an additional 5k units?
I’m cheap hahah.
I went to my local service center today to test drive one again. I was talking to the guy about it and he said internally they were talking about these being delivered in June but he said that is not 100% confirmed. I put a deposit down and I saw the 2027 on the screen and was like WTF lol. I have a model X plaid so I’m not desperate for this truck hopefully it’s sometime this year.
Just a wild guess, but I would think it does not become profitable for them at that point so why would they produce a vehicle and lose money? Also, the S and the x are very old platforms. This is coming from someone who owns a model X plaid who just put a deposit on a cyber truck today. I am perfectly fine with Tesla killing them off. I don’t think you’ve taken more than a couple seconds to really understand how vehicle manufacturing works.
It’s not that. It’s the fact Elon told us about the cheaper price. It’s tough to keep swapping price on Tesla customers. I think most here has experienced getting juked on pricing here with Tesla.
Go to the CT configurator, click "compare models" and if you go to supercharging speeds, its different between the models for some reason where the non-Premium AWD is less than the Premium despite having a lower weight, and same "range" and more efficient / smaller wheels (18" vs. 20")
I’m sure it went through the same people that decided the pricing for the past 6 years that i have been following. You kind of know how they think now.
If they were making anywhere near 500 a week we wouldn't be having this discussion. Nowhere near that demand.
Just because you invented this fairytale in your head that you get aroused by to feel better about yourself doesn't make it true. The reality is that his businesses are extremely successful and have made him worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
Why would they cut production while also adding a significantly cheaper version?
Cybertruck sold 20,000 units in 2025. That's roughly 400 per week.
It's much easier mentally to just pretend that Tesla/Elon is stupid.
It's a different build, also order estimates move up all the time. Relax.
Order estimates move up all the time and if anyone cancelled their order in your area near delivery, then you'd be one of the people they would reach out to take the order. Would make sense to hold your "spot" by reserving if you really wanted one imo.
1-stock value 2-they lose money on it, and don't want to sell many
I think they have nerfed the charging speed, which is very easy for them to do. Smaller wheels will probably be 5-8% more efficient, and I doubt they are using an accordingly smaller battery. But I could be wrong, and unless some 3rd party does some battery capacity tests, we might not know until then
You're getting into conspiracy theory territory. It gives them no benefit to release a cheaper model and then hardly sell any of it. That doesn't help the stock either.
I suspect they're using the same number of cells, but dry cathode has changed the performance characteristics a bit. Probably same energy capacity (123 kWh).
I'd say we'll see the sales number, but they're gonna hide it now X and S are discontinued.
It’s like saying we need manual cars in 2026. No one is buying these models it’s a waste of production.
I’m sort of here. Love the Tesla experience. Want a bigger vehicle than my MYP, so… I bought one. I’m one of the few that’s truly “whatever” on the design - don’t love it or hate it. Once you actually get up close and personal with these - inside and out - you realize $60k for a stripped down trim is bordering on an amazing value in this economy.
Seek help for your EDS
> it’s a shit show at Tesla Tesla is sitting on over 44 billion in cash and had 95 billion in revenue last year. Seek help for your EDS.
The exterior already looks dated since the novelty has worn off... Can't imagine having to wait a year to get one.
[removed]
> I think it's all artificial. Do you base this on any factual evidence or has EDS consumed your brain?
Quite possible, but there should be some decent estimates regardless.
Thats what they want people to think. Artificial supply and demand play. There are many other reasons to not want a Cybertruck besides the previous price.
Someone has had too much cool aid. Not everything is a conspiracy…
You got that mixed up with legacy, they’re the ones selling vehicles at a 20% loss, Tesla has 18% auto margin.
So it's actually worth about 35k
Hmm, I haven't been following their battery related conversations lately, but you could be right!
Not everything but this is basic Tesla marketing tactics. Has been for years.
Sure
Nah. To be fair, Ford made a truck that looks identical to their other F1 50s, and it didn’t sell well; only manufactured for 4 years and then discontinued. Same with the EV Ram 1500. Silverado maybe next.
So based on every launch window and starting price Tesla has ever given, this should be out in 2031 and it’ll be 80k
Manipulation
Uh the best selling EV truck in 2025 was the Ford Lightning, which just got axed. The CT had more than a million pre-orders. The first full year of sales they sold 48,000. In 2025 they sold half that. Sales went down 48%! Now, they are introducing a cheaper model in an effort to save the product. But the CT has been a failure. It has hugely missed Tesla’s sales expectations, it has missed the public’s price expectations, and for a truck, it has limited functionality with the sloped sides.
That's why it was precluded with I think. Nothing factual needed. It's an opinion. Calm down, seems like you get triggered from reddit easily.
I don’t see how this is possible, Tesla has the ability to make a shitload of cybertrucks in a moments notice if they want to. Smoke and mirrors
Hard to say I doubt the race theory tweets he makes goes through several different departments of people
inb4 another roadster 2 scam, taking deposits and never delivering on the vehicle. Also, let's start a poll to see if these numbers are legit: Did you order a new 60k CT or do you know someone that does? 1. I ordered one 2. I know someone that did. 3. No, 4. I ordered 10 to inflate the numbers.
Prices on silverado and sierra evs dropped dramatically for 2026 models also.
Idk because the diameter of the entire wheel stays the same.
Hope they crank out tons of 60k awd variants and flood the used market. Should got 40k in a few years.
What parts aren't ready? All of the parts are ready from the rwd model nobody bought.
I hope so. I want one bad
You would think people would clue into this charade Elon pulls over and over again.
Dorky Elon simps who have never done manual labor jn their lives…. I feel attacked
Yeah this is why I didn’t pull the trigger. I knew their June delivery schedule was most likely going to be August-September, and I bet that gets pushed till end of year. They have so many of these trucks sitting out, I don’t get why they even came up with this
I believe this is more likely to happen
Yeah but have you ever thought about Tesla *on weed* ?
50k in 2019 is 62k today. This is the mid tier option.
50k in 2019 is 62k today. This is the mid tier option for the CT.
"A moment notice" Despite what we think of the marketing shenanigans, this is simply not true.
They said June, but not June 2026 😏 Jk jk
Gonna see a lot of them on the road soon!
Most likely outcome.
There was never much actual demand to begin with. Poor sales in 2024 were followed by even worse sales last year. The Truck also isn’t much cheaper. They stripped it of a bunch of features to make it appear cheaper, but it’s also still offering significantly less for its cost than was initially promised. At the end of the day, it was always going to be a huge risk. They needed traditional truck owners to buy in, and they are arguably one of the most anti-EV demographics. On top of that, they’re also arguably the most brand loyal demographic… so when Ford and GM we’re having a tough time selling their EV trucks, and Stellantis pretty much just gave up before releasing one… they were never going to be successful. I would be shocked if the CT doesn’t get cut within the next 3 years like the S/X. Both of those were arguably more desired and significantly more successful than the CT.
What decent truck can you get for $40k these days?
inflation is a SOAB thats for damn sure. That’s insane to read knowing how much easier it was to have 40k cash then vs now
Don’t worry that’s when they will discontinue the cyber truck completely lol
Another Elon false promise.
Spending 60k then waiting a year only for a 50/50 chance of a delay nty
You dont need to tell me that. I didn’t say it was a great strategy, I’m just saying it’s one. And it’s clearly working, so you can keep saying and thinking whatever you want
They released a truck with trash range, no practical use as a truck, and it was ugly as sin. Yeah, tesla/elon make dumb ass decisions, they're not immune from stupidity. Other car manufacturers make dumb shit all the time that don't sell.
Nobody said they make zero mistakes ever, but their odds of being right about any given subject versus a redditor are way higher. On Cybertruck specifically, it has good range, plenty of practical use as a truck, and obviously looks are subjective. It is the top selling electric pickup truck, so it seems that people like it more than its competitors. But, the electric pickup truck market in general is small.
I have yet to see a cyber truck be used for anything practical. Also, not the best selling ev pick up truck, that would have been the f150.
Just because you haven't personally seen it doesn't mean it's not possible lol. It has a 6 foot pickup bed with 2,500 pounds of payload capacity. So it doesn't really matter what you personally think. F-150 Lightning was discontinued because they were selling it at a massive loss to be able to sell through their production (which was obviously too high). Cybertruck emerged as the current best selling electric pickup truck.
F150 was discontinued because their battery technology was trash and couldn't keep up with competition especially when towing, they are coming out with an EREV f150 after seeing demand for the EREV Scout. Cybertruck did not emerge as the best selling truck, F150 still took that title for 2025.
If F-150 Lightning was profitable they'd still be selling it. But it wasn't profitable. The only reason it sold so much is because they priced it below what it cost to build so that they could sell through their inventory. But that's obviously unsustainable, so here we are. Now that F-150 Lightning doesn't exist, Cybertruck is the best selling electric pickup truck. There is no other electric pickup truck still being produced that sells more than Cybertruck, whether you personally like it or not.
What are you talking about, it can't be the best selling for 2025, that year is over. Dude stop moving goalposts to make the trash cyber truck work.
Cause your friends don't dance
I have thought that they had lots just filled with these overflowing? So that they had like this like incredible inventory just ready to go?
For 60k I’ll take a brand new from 2024 CT with all premium features it came with
and if they don’t dance
It will also increase in price in March 1st 2026
Then they're no friends of mine
The CT has the equivalent of 9 power walls. At $60k that is even lower than the cost of the power walls by themselves. Yeah, at $60k it will sell well. Just don’t expect people with blue hair to buy them.
That's retail price not component price of powerwalls.
How much are power walls installed? Cause I can hook up my CT to the house panel and done.
Something used for sure haha
The wheels are definitely looking different. Also the suspension doesn’t go up or down and I think there’s other changes cheaper interior and maybe something in the cab in the back. I think there is no lights or something. There are definitely differences still 60,000 is a good deal🙏🙏
Was at Tesla gigs Texas for a tour, the guide said that’s just for now due to parts employees etc, that often changes and can expect sooner but of course not guaranteed
They are probably busy cranking out Tesla Bots right now
I have yet to see a raptor do what it’s designed for. Same for new diesel trucks that cost $90k. They’re all show pieces
A raptor is a sports truck not actually meant for service work. And I know you're lying about diesel trucks, you must not be around a lot of work sites.
How is the $250 non refundable ?
Because it's taken off the cost of the car. It's not a refundable deposit. They know what they're doing...

Not available in Canada, right?
If you’re trying to make a point, make it.
CT is not a joke. Reality supports that assertion.
If Tesla puts cybertrucks on their used inventory… now we talkin
The rear wheel variant they completely stripped and wanted 60k plus. The Standard is AWD and has everything except Air Suspension and Interior 110 outlets but you can still PowerShare and use as power walls and all bed outlets included. A cheaper sound system too. All and all a real value
This car gonna go down in history as uglier than the Pontiac Aztek
