Tesla Cybertruck Price Hike Coming As Demand Appears To Skyrocket

Tesla Cybertruck Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive

Tesla’s new Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Cybertruck looks like it was a real doorbuster.

The $62,235 entry-level model was introduced last week when Elon Musk said the price would only be good for 10 days. Tesla’s website now features a banner that says: “Price Increases after February 28,” which syncs with Musk’s comment.

The Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive has 325 miles of range and a 7,500 pound towing capacity. It does without several features that come on the $82,235 Premium All-Wheel Drive, including its air suspension, faux leather upholstery, premium audio system and storage compartment under the bed floor.

It does have computer-controlled adaptive shocks and a power bed cover, however, and is equipped with the hardware for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) semi-autonomous driver aid, which requires a $99 per month subscription to activate.

When The Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive was first announced, the delivery date for the first orders was June, but that was pushed to September-October a few days later and is now 2027, while other Cybertruck orders are listed with a 5-7 week delivery window. This suggests there is either strong demand for the model or a logistical hiccup delaying its launch. The former is more likely as early reservation holders have not reported any changes to their estimated delivery date.

Cybertruck sales crashed from 38,965 in 2024 to 20,237 in 2025, but Tesla’s Austin, Texas, assembly plant has the capacity to build more than 125,000 annually.
