Tesla has introduced a new dual-motor AWD Cybertruck trim for $59,990

What’s the difference

That's actually going to sell quite a bit I think.

Wow. Thats easily the best BEV pickup available now.

From a quick skim: Smaller wheels, cloth seats, unheated rear seats, less speakers, Edit: cheaper suspension, no rear screen

No airbag suspension too. Also still 10k too much.

A price that finally feels reasonable.

Decent price va the competition

Ventilated seats, rear screen, towing capacity, rim and tire size

The specs are just too gutted for $60K

This should have been the price from the beginning. I would absolutely consider this version a year or two down the line at about $45k-$50k

$49999 in 2019 is 63k today so this is actually compelling.

Omg

The original announced $50k price would be over $60k now after accounting for inflation, so it’s finally being offered at the promised price, and even a little less.

It’s a car that isn’t selling and the ceo alienated a portion of its buyers

“A portion” is putting it mildly.

Ugh No way my salary has kept up with this.

Probably in the minority but I prefer springs over airbags, fewer things to break and feels less floaty.

No

I’m with you as well, mainly from the reliability/maintenance cost perspective.

He finally caved huh?

Hot dog!

Fantastic deal

Please elaborate. What do you think is missing which would add up to more than 20k discount over the prem AWD?

$60k isn’t bad at all, other EVs that beat it in range cost significantly more. The Silverado can pull more, but let’s be honest, the *vast* majority of Cybertruck owners will never actually hook up a trailer.

Not at all. This will make sales skyrocket.

NGL in a truck I’d prefer cloth seats . I’d pay extra for something I can spray down with a hose.

Ok? It has nothing to do with your original argument though

I agree other costs has increased a lot too. Such as housing

Unpopular opinion coming from a Tesla owner - I’d still prefer a Ford Lightning.

Finally I’ve been waiting 6 years, I think I’m going to go for it.

They should’ve done this from the beginning, I’m seeing more and more standard model Ys on the road as well.

Get help.

They likely couldn’t have up until the dry cathode battery was recently solved.

They've improved it a lot over the lame RWD version which had no tonneau cover. Now you get the second motor and a tonneau for $10K less so I think it's actually compelling. Too bad they didn't get this out when there was still a $7500 tax credit, at $52500 this would have moved serious volume.

Coming from a Rivian, yeah. Repairs and replacing are ridiculously expensive.

The price I've been waiting for...but now I've got a gas truck.

I would say it’s more like “A very small number of his potential buyers are now so hyper partisan that they hate anyone to the right of Mao.”

Still waiting on the new Ford EV priced at $30K.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a regular looking truck.

Then you’d be better off with the fake leather vinyl seats. But you wouldn’t want to do that in a modern car no matter what.

Doubtful. Truck owner demographic is arguably the most Anti-EV demographic, and on top of that are also one of the most brand loyal demographics - so if GM and Ford are struggling to sell EV trucks, Tesla would be in an even more difficult place. The CyberTruck was always going to have an uphill battle, and Elon hasn’t done it any favors.

It won’t. I would be surprised if they don’t pull the plug on the CT within the next 3 years or so.

Still going to have an incredibly uphill battle. Truck owners are arguably the most anti-ev demographic, on top of being one of the most brand loyal ones. If the Ford and GM weren’t going to be successful, the CT was going to have that much more of a challenge, and Elon hasn’t been doing the brand any favors by alienating a significant portion of the potential base that would have considered stepping into the Pickup segment. I get the impression the CyberTruck will go the way of the S and X within the next 3-5 years. Outside of North America and Australia, there is barely a market for a Full Size truck and it’s struggled immensely here as is.

Lets be honest, most trucks in the US aren’t ever hooking up a trailer lol. Watch how many trucks are perfectly pristine next time you drive

But wasn't the lightning discontinued? Edit: So yeah the BEV version is gone while a hybrid version will arrive later

Yeah cause Ford doesn't want to make it. There was a factory fire or something and Ford just decided to not resume it. I think it was doing fairly well until then, all things considered. Silverado seems like a great option on paper but it just doesn't sell. If I needed a truck for the utility, I'd prefer something like a Silverado with Tesla tech and efficiency.

💯

Me too.

Wouldn't it be better to get a used cyberbeast for the same price?

The suspension is amazing on the Rivian but it's also something that scares me when it is out of warranty. It's not just the airbags, but the hydraulic antisway bar is a very expensive service item from what I have read. Definitely not keeping mine outside of warranty.

I know they are kind of ugly but I love my model y and have been wanting a truck.

Where are you finding used cyber beasts for that price?? I’d buy one immediately hahah

Yeah I just checked and there aren't many on the market. I figured there would be a lot by now.

I wonder what’s gonna happen to cybertruck prices now that this 60k model is out and pretty decent.

Probably not much. I couldn't find very many for sale in my zip code which surprised me.

I'd get it if it looked like a regular truck. Specs to me are great and the price is fair

Totally agree. Its really tempting

Those smaller wheels are going to look horrible. The vehicle is huge.

R2 is coming soon! Sad I had to cancel my pre order but excited to see the final product. Take it with a grain of salt but doug demuro says he likes the ride of the R2 better

It’s so true. My truck gets used all the time. Albeit, a small trailer, but I’m hauling a lawn mower most of the time. Have also hauled stuff to help people move. Filled up the bed multiple times with furniture and lumber. Someone had the audacity to say the truck was dirty. I told them, I’ll get it washed when I’m done using it like a truck 😂

Make sure you test drive it first or actually never test drive it if you want to save money. Once I test drove the truck, I had to get it!

That’s a fine opinion. I love the Cybertruck, but understand people not liking it.

Thats that American culture haha. Gotta have a pretty truck to drive to starbucks and the grocery store😂

I strangely hate the look of the Silverado lol. Specs are nice though.

Wish we could get one here in europe!

Once you test drive it…. You may want it even more. That’s what happened to me.

I'm surprised they still get the motorized tonneau cover

Don't forget that it still looks like a cyber truck. Simply put, there are a ton of people that don't want to drive a truck that looks like that.

Just because a truck is pristine, does not mean it doesn't tow. Not even remotely close. I tow very frequently and I also take care of my vehicles. I wash and wax and maintain in between. There is no correlation there.

The vast majority of inflation occurred 2020 to 2024. Its actually incredible how much it was when looking at the charts. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi

Smaller wheels/larger tires

This is a lot closer to realistic.

Im not a fan of the cybertruck, but this new price point should move some units

Well the F-150 is the most sold vehicle in the US year after year, so it’s already being bought by tons of people who aren’t using it for the explicit truck capabilities. Plenty of people buy a big F150 or even an F250 just to say they got a big truck and they haaul, when in reality their truck is a pavement princess.

For only 10 days. Lol. Ya'll still doing business with this company is crazy. https://preview.redd.it/h1b09q99rnkg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=19287a8b39080cee518d947221206db34a13e411

only for the next 10 days so you better act now! Lol. https://preview.redd.it/h6q4jawrrnkg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c4565ee93138f13dce31a166c47ea2f1b3c6c20

The smaller wheels don't look bad . I want a set https://preview.redd.it/exjxo0y6xnkg1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f68f45bd208222945bbce414d661fc891d4c808

what is the standard console vs the Premium console?

I'm looking at 3-4 yo MX right now. Looking to spend 50-60k. I still cannot consider the CT. Crap range.

I hate this man

Right. What is the insinuation here? That the price will go up? That the entire offer goes away? Or more likely, it goes to $49,990 cause they can't move these things, immediately causing equity loss for everyone who just bought. I'll pass thanks.

I don’t know, I might order one with just the non refundable deposit and see what happens on paper it’s a very compelling deal, I think it goes up to like 65k… I don’t know

Its only for 10 days.

60k is pretty good for what you get. Like it or not EVs are more expensive. Trucks haven't been "cheap work vehicles" for a decade or more. Combining those two isn't going to magically make things cheaper.

With the sheer amount of trucks I see I don’t find that hard to believe at all. No way most of those people are towing.

This trim, but a single motor RWD version that costs $49,990 would probably be interesting to people too.

I really like the looks of the Sierra EV.

39,999

100% guy above is a little offended lol

I call them welfare trucks because they don't work for a living

I would have immediately ordered if they hadn't removed ventilated seats :(

its about the same in efficiency as the X's

Its gonna be about the same range. Having the AWD allows from better efficiency. I"d think it would stick with AWD and never offer single motor.

For me, the only reason I would get a pickup truck would be to pull a camping trailer, and without a lot of pull through stops, such high cost energy cost, with a low towing range the cons outweigh the pros to consider it. I love my model Y, love the look of the Cybertruck but can’t justify until a used model is about half the price.

Seems like the rear gear storage in the bed is also missing…

like mine.

Early adopter here—over 2 years in, and this is still the best Tesla I’ve owned. Super comfortable, very easy to drive, and with FSD on, nothing else comes close. Never owned a gas truck, so I can’t compare there. Yeah, once in a while it gets hate for the looks and the Elon association, but objectively..hard to find anything to complain about. Range easily covers my daily use, and with V4 Superchargers expanding, it feels pretty future-proof. Very study & easy to maintain. Sharing this mostly for anyone who’s on the fence.

Placed my order. Hoping to have FSD transferred from my 2017 model X. But the app does not give me option to do validate that. Although I got it confirmed from one of the sales agent. Anybody able to complete pre-delivery steps where you do FST transfer?

Now do range.

Why? Transparency is bad now? Y’all be pissed if he changed course in 10 days w/o telling y’all. Can’t please everyone.

“I hate pedophiles and their supporting friends” “Ok super commie”

Sick burn, bro! 🤡

Wasn’t a burn, repeating back to you what you said shouldn’t be offensive to you unless you’re embarrassed of your own side.

Your moral preening is hilarious. It must give you such a rush!

wish it was at this price originally when i bought my model 3 lr new in 2023

I never seen cheapest versions of 3 and Y and hope the same true for this can.

\-Warranty void if wet.

Original announcement was 40K

Except original price was 40K

Not for awd

And then Elon announces this is only a 10 day promotional special, like an Amazon Prime Day for Tesla.

Not for the awd.

I’m looking for a new car to upgrade from my Y. I love the Y but CT looks awesome. My problem is I’m a suburban dad in tech so not really sure what I need the bed for. Carrying my laptop bag or kids crap seems like overkill. Also cloth seats?? Wtf help me!

😅😅

who wants to buy a car/truck from a guy who actually doesn't want to make them anymore? not me!
