Tesla’s cheapest Cybertruck is now $92,490, a price reached after two increases since early August. The lowest orderable price has climbed 32% in about 10 weeks, from $69,990 to $92,490.

On Nov. 6 the company lifted prices again, by as much as 10 percent depending on trim, while confirming the truck’s production days are numbered.
Electrek’s Nov. 6 price report lays out the configurator numbers. The Dual Motor AWD went to $82,490 from $74,990, an increase of $7,500 or 10 percent, but Tesla has stopped taking orders for it. That leaves the Premium AWD at $92,490, up from $84,990 by the same $7,500, or 8.8 percent, as the cheapest configuration a buyer can actually order. The Cyberbeast moved from $99,990 to $102,490, a $2,500 or 2.5 percent rise.
Two increases and the 32% arithmetic
The earlier step came in late August. Electrek reported on Aug. 25 that Tesla quietly edited its online configurator on the night of Aug. 24 without changing a single specification. The Dual Motor rose from $69,990 to $74,990 and the Premium AWD from $79,990 to $84,990, while the Cyberbeast held at $99,990. The Dual Motor still listed 325 miles of range, 7,500 pounds of towing and a 4.1-second run to 60 mph. The 32% figure compares different trims. In early August the cheapest Cybertruck was the $69,990 Dual Motor. In November the cheapest orderable one is the $92,490 Premium AWD, because the Dual Motor is closed to orders. Like for like, the Premium AWD is $12,500 or 15.6 percent above its early August price of $79,990.
Production end and what Elon Musk said
Elon Musk announced in an X post on Nov. 6 that Tesla would wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year, about three and a half years after first deliveries, according to Electrek. He said the space would go to more Cybercab production. Musk gave no details on how long inventory would be sold or what happens to parts and service for current owners. Electrek’s Fred Lambert reads the price moves as a wind-down strategy, with Tesla maximizing margin on remaining trucks rather than chasing volume. That is Electrek’s interpretation, and Tesla has not described its pricing logic.
Demand behind the sticker
Tesla does not report Cybertruck deliveries on their own. Its Other Models category, which also covers the Model S, Model X and Semi, fell 48 percent from a year earlier to 8,295 in the third quarter. Electrek estimates 7,000 to 8,000 of those were Cybertrucks. Electrive’s quarterly roundup shows 7,004 Other Models produced against the 8,295 delivered, in a quarter when Tesla delivered just over 486,000 vehicles overall.
The line was planned for 250,000 trucks a year. Electrek puts the real pace near 30,000 a year, around 12 percent of that plan, and says U.S. sales fell from about 39,000 in 2024. Lambert’s estimate of roughly 70,000 deliveries in about three years is his own, and Tesla has not published one. Pricing swings have been wide. In February Tesla offered a dual-motor Cybertruck at $59,990 for only the next 10 days and then pulled it. A single-motor rear-wheel-drive version was discontinued after 173 sales. The truck was unveiled in 2019 with a promised starting price of $39,900. Tesla also canceled the truck for Australia and New Zealand, emailing reservation holders on Oct. 23 that plans had been discontinued, in an episode Electrek covered.
Cox Automotive’s U.S. estimates cited by Electrek show how thin the volume has become: 3,519 in the first quarter of 2026 and 3,744 in the second, compared with 14,416 in the third quarter of 2024. Musk’s companies have been a meaningful customer. S&P Global Mobility data cited by Electrek show SpaceX bought 1,279 Cybertrucks in the fourth quarter of 2025, and Musk-controlled entities took 1,339 of the 7,071 U.S. registrations that quarter, about 19%.
For a shopper, the price path is the practical story. The truck that cost $69,990 at the start of August at the lowest rung is, ten weeks later, a $92,490 purchase at the lowest rung that still takes orders, and Tesla has shown it will change configurator prices without notice. Electrek notes the Cybertruck is not sold in Europe or most right-hand-drive markets, and that Tesla has roughly 3,000 trucks in U.S. inventory, per its August reporting. Electrek also flags how little Tesla has said: the company has not detailed what happens to parts and service for existing owners once the Giga Texas line closes around mid-2027, and Musk’s X post addressed the production date only. A buyer weighing a purchase has to decide with the Dual Motor closed to orders, a $10,000-plus gap between the cheapest orderable truck and where the line began in August, and no stated end date for sales of remaining inventory. Open question: whether the Dual Motor returns to the configurator before the line ends. Tesla has not said, and Musk’s post addressed neither trims nor pricing.
