That’s tempting.

Quinquangular 2026-02-20 03:30

They’re so ugly lol

Dana___Black 2026-02-20 03:31

How good is air suspension? Is it 20k good?

EvenConsideration840 2026-02-20 03:35

The biggest thing they removed is the air suspension, 15 speaker system changed to 7 and AC outlets in the cab. Everything else is forgiveable. Honestly this is tempting. My hope is that this model will drive down the price of the used market.

Usual-Royal4560 2026-02-20 03:35

Very tempting. I'm about 5'10 and I can fully extend my feet. It also has so much space in the back.

rshawco 2026-02-20 03:36

There was supposed to be a $40k one.

Didn’t they discontinue the lighting?

leeperpharmd 2026-02-20 03:40

If I recall correctly, the $40k had 250 mile range and rear motor only. The $50k was AWD and 300 mile range. With inflation it is probably pretty close. Still not as advertised

Way way way better than their first attempt at the discount cyber truck. Bed outlets, power share, and power tonneau are non negotiable. This feels like a real cyber truck. I could care less about the amount of speakers and air suspension. Removed unneeded complications in the air system. Personally, I’m going to wait for this trim level with a single RWD motor which I’m sure will come when sales of this trim die down like usual.

muzerfuker 2026-02-20 03:43

Canada the cheapest is still 140k cad

Is it tho

Usual-Royal4560 2026-02-20 03:49

Does the F150 have fsd capabilities or any technology compared to the cybertruck? Pretty sure the cybertruck also has more bed room. it just depends what you're looking for but the cybertruck is also very capable.

AffectionateArtist84 2026-02-20 03:51

Build quality on the Cybertruck is known to be pretty good tbh

Air suspension, that's one of the Best options. I guess they know that.

Desperate-Review-727 2026-02-20 03:55

So the model y and 3 getting a new cheaper version was lack of demand as well?

ianarcherw 2026-02-20 03:55

For god sake, just call it 60k

Mikep976 2026-02-20 03:56

*looks at CT design.  Oh yeah, air suspension, 15 speaker system gone, and AC outlets is definitely the only unforgivable thing about this truck.

Content_City_8250 2026-02-20 03:59

Compared to the CT, the Lightning looks to be poorly and cheaply built. The CT is as capable a truck as any other in its class.

Who cares? It was a vanity project from the beginning and never should have gone into production. Musk again using one of his companies to bail out another in having SoaceX buy them. I think they’ve purchased 10,000 so far for $100 million.

thegolfpilot 2026-02-20 04:00

Basic cruise control unless you subscribe to FSD without fixed pricing.

Honest question: you couldn't do that in a F150?

InevitableBudget510 2026-02-20 04:05

Why couldn’t they do something like this for X and make it 50k?

I felt thats how much it shouldve cost when they released it

LazyIntroduction9516 2026-02-20 04:14

So they’re prepared to sell this thing at a loss, but cancelled the two best vehicles in the lineup? Insult added to injury.

areHorus 2026-02-20 04:14

Would you be seen in public with that thing for $1,000?

Cykamor 2026-02-20 04:14

I have one model y that is excellent build wise, and another that is absolute shit. Guess which one I bought first. Problem is when you get a bad one, there is a LOT that’s bad. I don’t understand it, it’s like they hired a third shift and staffed it with 8th graders and duct tape!

kubyx 2026-02-20 04:15

Huge improvement from the previous short range version or w/e it was called. This retains a lot of features from the higher priced versions with reasonable cost-cutting, unlike the previous one which was stripped to the bone without much of a price difference.

kenspi 2026-02-20 04:16

They can keep it.

kobachi 2026-02-20 04:16

I’d like to know how this suspension feels tho

HiddenFears3 2026-02-20 04:22

Imagine being excited about $59k when it was pitched to be $40k truck Price aside, this is still a nope from me

MJS4norcal 2026-02-20 04:23

💯 my buddy got one as a loaner and from a tech perspective and drive comfort I absolutely loved it. But good god it’s absolutely hideous.

LazyIntroduction9516 2026-02-20 04:24

Watch the Munro Live tear downs - automotive engineering experts who car manufacturers pay to help them reduce manufacturing cost. You’ll see the Lightning has very few cost reductions applied. As a result, Ford is selling them at a loss - which is likely why they’ve cancelled production. Whereas Tesla is the industry leader in cost reduction.

$60k and no premium audio is insane

VideoGameJumanji 2026-02-20 04:29

I think the exterior is cool, but the interior feels very sterile and could have been a bit more “exciting”

FirmAndSquishyTomato 2026-02-20 04:30

What vehicle can't you extend your legs at 5'10? That is average height.

jkudlacz 2026-02-20 04:32

This price is actually competitive for an EV truck, considering you get 325 miles of range 4.1s 0-60, and now it comes with 240v outlet in the bed. Very tempting. Also universal home charger and gateway are $1990. Let’s see if sales pickup.

LurkerWithAnAccount 2026-02-20 04:33

The Cybertruck has never had Autopilot. Ever. It shipped with TACC, FSD came on it at v13.x about 7 months after the truck came out. All the Foundation Series came with prepaid FSD, but nobody else has ever had anything but TACC and FSD.

SoSoEasy 2026-02-20 04:33

Because nobody would buy a MY

AxCel91 2026-02-20 04:34

I might actually be able to afford one now Edit: just tried to buy one. Earliest delivery is June. I don’t wanna wait that long….

AdCareless1761 2026-02-20 04:34

The 50k price tag (awd dual motor) adjusted for inflation to today is 63k EDIT I ORIGINALLY SAID 40k adjusted to inflation is 63k. I’m sleepy and didn’t read numbers quite right

average truck is about 30% more expensive from 2019 depending on the source so it isn't as bad as it seems (especially if there was still a tax credit) but yeah they were off the mark

halfbaked05 2026-02-20 04:36

What year was that promised? What is 40k adjusted for inflation today?

Once these hit .99% financing I’m giving my wife the model y and I’m getting this

Lewey52 2026-02-20 04:59

The air suspension being removed from this is the only thing stopping me from getting this over the premium awd. I'd have to test both to choose and I'm guessing they don't have this one at any service centers for a test drive right now.

ChickenFlavoredCake 2026-02-20 05:01

Yeah, best selling EVs in the US by a ***mile*** lol. They accounted for 45% of all EVs sold in the US last year. In Dec / Jan I think it was close to 60%

SUPER-NIINTENDO 2026-02-20 05:01

Dang, i just bought a Y. I would have bought this instead. Maybe I’ll get on and use it for “business”

What a meaningless metric. Sales have decline for two years.

[deleted] 2026-02-20 05:06

I still would not buy it

Otakeb 2026-02-20 05:06

This and the fact that their sales have been declining faster than the rest of the car market can be true at the same time. They are still the best EV and best selling EV, but Elon definitely pissed off a lot of potential EV buying demographic.

SpicyElixer 2026-02-20 05:08

But we were promised this years ago. So they’re late and overpriced.

There's no lack of demand when you sell half the market. Is there room to expand? Yes. Lack of demand? No.

robotzor 2026-02-20 05:10

It had the added added benefit of inching Ford to the bankruptcy graveyard with every model sold for that price. That might have been its biggest detriment 🤣

leong_d 2026-02-20 05:10

This is what they should have launched with...

MisterBumpingston 2026-02-20 05:11

That didn’t make it beyond the render or prototype. I wander what material it actually was.

jaysedai 2026-02-20 05:12

I want a non-premium Cyberbeast. Hey, I can dream.

fusillade762 2026-02-20 05:12

Damn, its tempting but I think I need the air suspension. I suppose you could put a set of high jackers on it if it can take regular air shocks. Not sure on how good the towing set up on this is, really need to look at that. I need a Class IV tow capable vehicle. A bumper hitch ain't getting it. I wonder if there is anything remotely solid to bolt a real towing receiver to? Anyway, it would be a pretty good work truck if it can pull a hefty trailer.

Usual-Royal4560 2026-02-20 05:13

Yea, I agree with this. But this is a thing with tesla as a whole. They have been aiming for this "minimalistic" style

Just-Yogurt-568 2026-02-20 05:14

IMO best thing they could do for sales is let you pick a coloured wrap right from the buy screen. They should try to downplay the stainless as much as possible. The stainless look no longer has the appeal it once did. In my view anyway. I think the truck gains a lot once it’s wrapped.

TheLegendaryWizard 2026-02-20 05:31

Less necessary to have a fancy suspension with those massive tires

spinwizard69 2026-02-20 05:32

Sure would if I could afford it. I've driven pickups from all of the big 3 in Detroit, the last one being a Ford and the thing was a piece of crap. Got rid of it after around 60,000 due to far too many quality issues. Everything from wheel bearing issues, software that was never updated/corrected, pollution control faults the dealership could never clear and so on. What was really sad is that this was my second Ford, the first one being purchased used decades ago. That pickup ran like a top and was obviously "used". These days they can't seem to produce a pickup that isn't an engineering embarrassment. From the people I've talked to the CyberTruck is the complete opposite of a big 3 pickup. So yeah I' wouldn't mind being seen in one. The problem is what did they delete from this model.

spinwizard69 2026-02-20 05:33

Even a manure spread breaks down and throws the nasty stuff on the operator. I suspect you are covered in it.

MICHAELSD01 2026-02-20 05:34

Only one more configuration to go until the $39,990 base model. /s but maybe not?

Jesus_Harold_Christ 2026-02-20 05:39

No

spinwizard69 2026-02-20 05:39

Well appearance is a personal issue, however your other points reflect what I've heard, it is the best driving pickup out there. I actually like the fact that they tried to make something that wasn't a Detroit carbon copy truck. It doesn't have to appeal to everybody, it does however appeal to people that can't tell the big 3 trucks apart in the parking lot.

Toastybunzz 2026-02-20 05:40

I see SO many here in the Bay Area, no one cares anymore 🤷.

JahLife68 2026-02-20 05:41

I’ll take it at 40k

ZombieManilow 2026-02-20 05:41

I love that it makes certain emotionally fragile people absolutely lose their minds. I’d sell my Model S and buy one today if I could transfer my FSD and free Supercharging.

spinwizard69 2026-02-20 05:42

That is the big question. It does need to maintain some off road capability, but honestly it doesn't need an over blown capability.

peppaz 2026-02-20 05:42

Yea it says so, so much about you. And none of it is good, floridaman

dumpsterfiremktg 2026-02-20 05:44

The Cybertruck drives like a sublime dream. The fact that the hype has transmutated into frothing, visceral hatred definitely makes me want one even more now. More than 90% of Americans don't even drive an EV. I find it hard to find a fuck to give regarding what they think. This new package is actually quite compelling because I don't think air suspension is a necessity. An unbelievably useful and compliant luxury? Absolutely. But long term, they are expensive to fix and prone to failure in a myriad of ways that standard coil suspension just isn't. The electronic adaptive dampers are still intact. The truck's computer continues to actively adjust the stiffness of the shocks in real time based on the road conditions, speed, and selected drive mode. This combined with a pretty freaking quick 4.1.0-60 is impressive imho. Audiofrog, NVX, and a number of other audio companies make some nice audio upgrades for other Tesla models. If the sound sucks, there will be options. I was just looking at used Cyberbeasts yesterday and they are still $85k. This new trim is a helluva lot of EV for $60k. An EV9 is $62k...

spinwizard69 2026-02-20 05:47

people rehashing crap from half a decade ago now. They assume a production line start up means the model is forever a sign of what Tesla is capable of.

az226 2026-02-20 05:57

It was pre sale at $39,990. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

spinwizard69 2026-02-20 06:00

Plus you don't need six lanes of road to do a U-turn. The turning radius on a ford F150 is terrible.

The very large side walls go a long way in dampening the vibrations and bumps from the road surface. That's why you get a smoother ride on smaller wheels, assuming the overall tire diameter is the same

metalgtr84 2026-02-20 06:43

You don’t have to on a Tesla either, you can do everything with voice controls without taking your hands off the wheel, which other cars either don’t have or do poorly. Temp and other knobs and toggles still require you to look at them, sorry lmao

pinchy74 2026-02-20 08:01

If this had been available in Canada, I would have cancelled my MYP order and changed to this since with conversion it's the same price. Fucking politicians and their tariff bullshit!!!!

Wholesome_Stalker 2026-02-20 08:11

To give it credit, it definitely drives like a much smaller car. We did a 48hr test drive that ended up being a 120hr test drive due to a mixup, and we were pleasantly surprised with how it drove. I am in no way defending its stigma, the behavior of Tesla's CEO, or the excessively simplistic interior, but they did a really good job at making it drive very well. Our company car is an F-150, which is very similar in overall size, and the Cybertruck felt like a Miata in comparison. It's incredible how much a dynamic steer-by-wire and four-wheel-steering can change the feel of that truck.

Still a no for me, too many bad connotations attached to it due to a certain someone. On top of which it still has build quality issues, not in the fit and finish sense but in the under-engineered sense. This is a truck yes, but more like a garage queen truck. doing actual truck stuff with this vehicle outside of light camping and you're in for a bad time and a boat load in part replacements and labor costs.

Is it to compete with the new Rivian R2?

They should have done it as a wagon or the ability to convert it. For Australia it’s waaaaay too big.

Its easier to drive and maneuver than my wife's Model X. The 4 wheel steering and steer by wire makes it feel like a nimble sports car once you get used to the size of it.

jabroni4545 2026-02-20 11:55

I think because the large sidewall from the 35s and smaller wheels helps dampen the ride.

Nebuchadnezzaro 2026-02-20 11:59

You mean 20k over promised?

Jumpy_Implement_1902 2026-02-20 12:02

60k cyber, whoop whoop! Where is the 40k one? And, as others mentioned the car looks like a total trash can on wheels if you look at any of them on the road for more than a year

sonobono11 2026-02-20 12:03

Honestly awesome. Try test driving one

Icy-Tale-7163 2026-02-20 12:04

You're reading way too much into OP's comment. Demand or not, the problem is Tesla can churn out more Model 3/Y then they sell, a lot more. So they must either discount to move cars and/or reduce production. The opposite was true during the pandeic, which is why they could charge $70k for a Model Y. This doesn't mean there's no demand for Model 3/Y, just not enough compared to their production to sustain prices.

Nice-Criticism572 2026-02-20 12:10

You mean $60k clearly

WallabyInTraining 2026-02-20 12:13

At some point it will start making sense as a home battery that also has wheels. 123kWh with over 11kW peak delivery is not bad. Most home batteries will probably start losing trim pieces above a certain speed, so that tracks as well.

Does the premium not seem insanely expensive now?? Paying 20k for air suspension and more speakers? That’s the price of a car

Yeah like the person making the announcement

jkudlacz 2026-02-20 13:13

Maybe new lithium refinery and dry electrode process for 4680 battery production process is allowing Tesla to lower production costs? Honestly if that is true Tesla might be able to bring cost on par or even below Panasonic/LG costs. Would be game changer. We should know more during next 2 earnings calls.

Limp-Conflict-2309 2026-02-20 14:35

I don't like the truck but I'm excited to see it priced a little bit better Kinda skeptical to see if they just lowered the price on the existing model or if they cut corners to lower the cost. Not a bad thing to cut corners but I'm interested to see where/how they cut corners.

nevetsyad 2026-02-20 14:35

Dr_Pippin 2026-02-20 15:00

Agreed. I have an '18 and a '19 Model 3, and one of my neighbors who loves headlines came over ready to point out all the flaws in my Teslas because they "have such bad build quality." As I'm sure you won't be surprised to discover, he didn't find a single panel gap or alignment issue on the exterior or interior of either vehicle. Then we drove 45 minutes from my house allowing FSD to drive the whole way (and this is HW3!) to go race R/C cars, plus the 45 minute return drive solely with FSD. Needless to say, he doesn't tell me the newest Tesla headlines he reads anymore.

Muffinman_187 2026-02-20 15:07

The sheer volume of people putting other brands badges and stickers on their cybertruck only shows how unpopular this is. It's the biggest flop since the Aztec.

Ill_Savings_8338 2026-02-20 15:27

yeah the 59k one is stripped down, one less screen, normal textiles non-premium, etc

Y2018M 2026-02-20 15:32

Lease for 500$ per month is a good deal. Still too expensive!

Ill_Savings_8338 2026-02-20 15:33

It is more likely that the value of those two things make it hard to let go of them, free supercharging can save you a lot of money, and you cant buy autopilot anymore. Of course if "money is meaningless" because you are so rich that is one thing, but it is possible to be able to afford something and not buy it because it doesn't seem like a good deal.

Ill_Savings_8338 2026-02-20 15:34

How many of those people actually use it as a truck?

iiixii 2026-02-20 15:42

There are still features to remove! the cheaper version was to have RWD and - 50/75 mile range.

dam_ships 2026-02-20 15:45

If it was 59K with the incentives still in place…I would be tempted. I still don’t see it as a truck lol but it is super spacious on the inside and I like the interior. I’m happy the price is down though for those who are interested! Edit: Oh, this is like the base model I forgot about lol. No screen in the back and interior materials different. Nevermind lol.

sf_d 2026-02-20 15:47

Still the cheapest model is over $68,000 with taxes and fess in California. Waiting for next wave of price reduction.

CarlCarl3 2026-02-20 16:20

Greatest damn vehicle of all time, in terms of driving it (not talking about this trim in particular) If you're worried about virtue signaling or aethetics, then yeah I get why you hate it.

Too little too late. This was the initial pre-order I had, which was $49,990. And I knew that wasn't going to be the price. But when they started offering the dual motor for $70k i canceled it right away. I'm glad they didn't offer it at $60k back then and I stayed away from this trouble.

Dejavudog 2026-02-20 18:58

How much to add a door handle?

don_faak 2026-02-20 19:07

If you calculate inflation in their original $50k price point at the 2019 announcement, it equals to $63k today. So in that sense, it's actually $3,000 cheaper than what they promised. Just (very) late

skatebambi 2026-02-20 19:07

Do people really still buy that?

Retire_date_may_22 2026-02-20 19:29

Seems like a more reasonable price but can you really buy one till you know more about the suspension.

jorsiem 2026-02-20 20:27

Would buy if it wasn't so huge. I don't even mind aesthetics. If they made a midsize one I'd be all over it.

br0kepanda 2026-02-20 20:40

Anyone out here waiting for it to drop down to $49,000. If there is no demand for it to $59,000, I think it is quite possible that Tessa will reduce it further down. We're only about $10,000 away from the initial price. Very possible. On the bright side and we'll probably start seeing you cyber trucks anywhere between $40 to $50,000 now.

Technical_Double 2026-02-20 20:41

We round that up to $60K in the real world.

sailedtoclosetodasun 2026-02-20 20:45

That was before the fed printed trillions in 2021 causing record inflation.

yoliveras 2026-02-20 20:59

So they added another trim level? Forst it was RWD, AWD and Cyberbeast. Now its Regular AWD, Premium AWD and Cyberbeast. Wonder what they're cutting off to make the dual motor cheaper.

The 40k version you recall was RWD. The AWD drive they promised in 2019 was 50k back then. Accounting for inflation, that's 63k now, so they have met (actually beat, accounting for inflation) the price they promised. Just took too long.

Let’s hope that is a lie. I think demand definitely spiked since Tesla was advertising Cybertruck on the home page but then day later swapped it to 3/Y. Maybe too many orders lol. I just want some of that technology to trickle down to other cars in Tesla fleet. That should lower production costs through economies of scale.

jkudlacz 2026-02-21 13:40

Well you should be able to get $50k version after 1-2 years once the $60k version buyers start selling haha
