tesla bumps cybertruck prices by up to 7 percentTesla quietly raised the price of two Cybertruck configurations in the US, updating its online configurator without altering a single specification. The Dual Motor AWD now starts at $74,990, up from $69,990, while the Premium AWD climbs to $84,990 from $79,990.Both trims rise by $5,000, which works out to a 7.1 percent increase for the Dual Motor and 6.2 percent for the Premium AWD. The range-topping Cyberbeast, meanwhile, holds steady at $99,990.The more consequential change is what happens between the trims. Premium AWD previously sat $20,000 below the Cyberbeast, however, that gap has now shrunk to $15,000. As a result, for buyers already leaning toward performance, the step up to the high-output triple-motor hardware becomes easier to justify.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis latest move stacks onto a run of Dual Motor increases in quick succession. Tesla launched the Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck at a promoted $59,990 in February 2026, then raised it to $69,990 in March, and has now pushed it to $74,990. The Premium AWD, meanwhile, has moved from $79,990 to $84,990. For anyone who waited, therefore, the same configuration has become considerably more expensive in a matter of months.The shift alters the math for shoppers weighing a new order. A Dual Motor Cybertruck at $74,990 now lines up more closely with loaded versions of rivals like the Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum (although that model can be had at a steep discount as it's been discontinued), which compete on range and payload rather than novelty.Slate Announces $25K Starting Price for Transformer-Style EV TruckSlate Announces $25K Starting Price for Transformer-Style EV TruckAmerican startup Slate Auto is taking a decidedly old-school approach to the modern electric vehicle. Instead of massive touchscreens and complex computer systems, the company's upcoming 2027 vehicle lineup features physical knobs, tactile controls, and a modular platform built with less than half the parts of a traditional truck. According to Slate, the project is aimed squarely at buyers looking for a utility vehicle that is highly adaptable and easy on the wallet.AutoGuide.com News StaffAutoGuide.com News StaffAdvertisementAdvertisementResale is the other complication. Early trade-in and auction chatter reportedly points to some high-spec Cybertrucks taking steep hits against their near-$100,000 stickers, with some units valued around $63,000. That gap matters more now that entry pricing has moved up rather than down. As a result, buyers focused on total cost of ownership, particularly small businesses eyeing Section 179 deductions, will need to weigh likely depreciation against the new MSRP. Shoppers still working the lower end of the EV truck market, however, may want to check alternatives like the Slate Truck's pricing and range specs before locking in a Cybertruck build.Given Tesla's history of frequent price adjustments, today's stickers are best treated as provisional. The pattern of repeated changes tends to hit resale values and ownership costs harder than any single MSRP move. Therefore, watching inventory levels, used-market values, and official updates will indicate whether this increase is a one-off bump or the new baseline for Cybertruck pricing.
