Tesla Cybertruck AWD now $74,990
Tesla has raised the price of its Base All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck to $74,990, up from $59,990 a few months ago, while the Premium AWD climbs to $84,990. Production at Giga Texas has begun to recover after a legal dispute with parts supplier Angstrom Automotive Group.
Tesla’s Base All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck is now priced at $74,990, a sharp increase from the $59,990 launch price and the $69,990 level it held for a brief period. The Premium AWD configuration follows suit, rising to $84,990 from $79,990, while the Cyberbeast trim remains unchanged at $99,990.
The price hike reflects a 7 % increase across the two most affordable trims, a move that Tesla appears to use to signal strong demand for the all-electric pickup.
Exterior and Interior
The reviewer noted that the standard 18-inch Molten wheels are offered, with an optional 20-inch Core wheel set and 35-inch tires. The interior uses textile seats instead of the vegan leather found on higher trims, a change that some reviewers prefer for comfort. The cabin feels “like a living room on wheels,” and the reviewer drove 610 miles without feeling fatigue.
However, the interior has shortcomings: only one USB-C port is available in the front console, hidden centrally, while the rear row offers two. The windshield is difficult to clean, a practical issue for owners.
Driving Performance
Contrary to expectations that a pickup would feel stiff, the Cybertruck delivers a smooth ride. The reviewer, who tested the vehicle for 14 hours and 600 miles in Pennsylvania, found the handling, speed, and Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities enjoyable. The steer-by-wire system and spacious cabin make the truck competitive against higher-priced pickups.
Pricing Changes
| Trim | New Price | Old Price |
|---|---|---|
| Base AWD | $74,990 | $59,990 |
| Premium AWD | $84,990 | $79,990 |
| Cyberbeast | $99,990 | $99,990 |
Tesla’s price adjustments come after a brief period when the Base AWD was offered at $69,990 for ten days, a move that was tied to a surge in orders.
The price increase has sparked debate. Some commentators argue that the truck’s design deters buyers, while others believe that a lower price would boost sales. The reviewer notes that SpaceX has purchased Cybertrucks for company use, indicating a market for the vehicle.
Production Update
Production at Giga Texas has begun to recover following a legal dispute with Angstrom Automotive Group. Aerial footage taken on Wednesday morning counted roughly 100 or more Cybertrucks in the outbound lot, a noticeable jump from recent low numbers.
Tesla filed an emergency lawsuit in late July after Angstrom announced plans to close its Troy, Texas facility, which houses die-cast tools, trim dies, and other Cybertruck stamping equipment. Tesla’s complaint alleges that 700 finished parts never left the building, and that Tesla’s representatives, accompanied by law enforcement, were turned away when attempting to retrieve equipment. Angstrom reportedly demanded an additional $250,000 a week.
A judge granted Tesla a temporary restraining order against Angstrom, allowing the company to resume production. The flyover footage, captured by Joe Tegtmeyer, shows a visible rebound in truck output.
