The Cybertruck Is Now the Cheapest Tesla – Futurism

"I love this simulation."Cheapest Tesla

Tesla recently increased the price of its Model 3 and Model Y, with prices starting at a respective $54,990 and $41,990 before incentives.

Strangely enough, that makes the entry level Cybertruck, a much bigger vehicle starting at $39,990, the cheapest Tesla customers can order today, as Teslarati points out. Even the Model 3 Standard Range Plus variant, which is the second cheapest vehicle in the lineup, starts at $42,000 now.

Cybertruck is officially the cheapest Tesla you can buy, one Twitter user commented. I love this simulation.

Its unclear if Tesla is still planning on revise the pricing for the much-delayed pickup truck. Last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the rollout was going to be delayed to late 2022, a disappointment for those who preordered it for a $100 deposit almost two years ago.

Tesla has also been struggling to keep up production of its new 4680 battery cells, which will end up powering the Cybertruck, according to a July update.

Musksaid during thecompanys second-quarter earnings call in Julythat each truck could literally cost a million dollars a piece or more. Theres a reason why you do things at volume production, which is to get the economies of scale that get the cost down.

So whether that $39,990 entry-level price will stick once the first Cybertrucks are delivered to customers remains to be seen.
