Tesla Raises Cybertruck Prices, Pauses Base Trim Orders

Tesla raised Cybertruck prices by up to 9% and paused orders for the base Dual Motor AWD, months before production winds down in mid-2027.

The Cybertruck just got more expensive again. Tesla has raised Cybertruck prices in the U.S. by up to 9% and paused new orders for the base Dual Motor AWD trim (via @SawyerMerritt).

The change comes just as Musk announced that Tesla will end Cybertruck production around mid-2027 to free up space at Giga Texas for the Cybercab.

New Cybertruck Prices

The Premium AWD trim now starts at $92,490, up $7,500 from $84,990. The top-spec Cyberbeast goes from $99,990 to $102,490, a 2.5% increase that pushes Tesla’s top pickup past $100,000 for the first time.

The base Dual Motor AWD variant can no longer be ordered, at least for now. It’s grayed out in Tesla’s configurator, though it shows a new price of $82,490, up 10% from $74,990.

A Year of Price Hikes

This is the latest in a string of price increases this year. Tesla launched the Dual Motor AWD at $59,990 in February as a no-frills work truck, keeping the bed outlets, powered tonneau cover, and 325 miles of range while dropping air suspension and some interior features.

That price lasted less than 10 days. On March 1, Tesla raised it to $69,990, and estimated delivery dates for new orders slipped into 2027. In August, Tesla tacked on another $5,000 to both dual-motor trims.

Here’s how Cybertruck prices have changed this year:

Trim

Early 2026

August 2026

Now

Dual Motor AWD

$59,990

$74,990

$82,490 (orders paused)

Premium AWD

$79,990

$84,990

$92,490

Cyberbeast

$99,990

$99,990

$102,490

That makes the Premium AWD $12,500 more expensive than it was at the start of the year, an increase of nearly 16%. The Dual Motor AWD, if it ever reopens for orders, would cost $22,500 more than its launch price.

Following the Model S and X Playbook

The Cybertruck is now following the same path as the Model S and Model X. Tesla raised prices on both before closing orders for good on March 31, and their Fremont production lines have since been converted to build Optimus robots.

Low sales volume played a part in that decision, and it looks to be doing the same here. Tesla doesn’t share Cybertruck sales separately, but it delivered just over 12,000 “Other Models,” including the Cybertruck, Semi, and remaining Model S and X, in Q2.

Tesla hasn’t said why it paused Dual Motor AWD orders. It may be clearing its existing backlog of orders, or it may simply want to focus its remaining Cybertruck production on the more expensive trims. If you still want a Cybertruck, the Premium AWD and Cyberbeast are available to order, but there’s no telling how long that will last as production winds down next year.
