Cybertruck Price: Then & Now

Some who pre-ordered the Cybertruck in 2019 were shocked to see prices $20k to $30k above the initial announcement prices while others sympathized with Tesla’s need to charge more due to economic conditions and inflation since 2019.

Let’s take a look at the Cybertruck price at the time of announcement compared to the actual price confirmed at the delivery event 4 years later:

Cybertruck PriceOriginal (2019)Actual (2023)% Increase
Single Motor$39,900$60,99052.63%
Dual Motor$49,900$79,99060.12%
Tri Motor$69,900$99,99042.92%

You can see why people who invested $100 in a pre-order under the assumption of getting an economical pickup truck would be mad to see the price increase by more than 50%, even taking into consideration the economic climate. Some are holding out hope that early pre-orders will be treated to a discounted price. And don’t forget: original pre-orders included the promise of Full-Self Driving technology for $7k.

Other hot topics include the Cybertruck’s range and a host of previously unannounced Cybertruck accessories and features.

What’s your hot take on the Cybertruck specs, price, and availability (or lack thereof)?
