Promises of a sub-$40,000 model never materialized and sales of the electric pickup have hardly been earth-shattering. That's unlikely to change anytime soon, as the automaker has just published updated pricing for the lower two Cybertruck trims. The high-performance Cyberbeast is the only trim with the same price, but that's already a six-figure vehicle once you take into account delivery fees and options. Here's what the Cybertruck will cost you.Tesla Cybertruck Price IncreaseTesla CybertruckTeslaThe base Cybertruck Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive trim now starts at $74,990. Here's a look at the entire range's prices.New PricingOld PricingIncreaseDual-Motor All-Wheel Drive$74,990$69,990+7.1%Premium All-Wheel Drive$84,990$79,990+6.2%Cyberbeast$99,990$99,990–The lower two trims are both $5,000 more expensive than they were. The base model was introduced in February 2026 at $59,990, so anyone who got one before these significant increases got an especially great deal, as this model is now $15,000 pricier than it was only a few months ago. The mid-range Premium AWD trim has not had an increase in two years since launching, so its price bump is easier to justify.AdvertisementAdvertisementPerformance and range figures are unchanged. In the cheapest two trims, you get a 325-mile range and 4.1-second 0-60 mph time. The Cyberbeast is on another level entirely with its 2.6-second 0-60 time, although its range drops slightly to 320 miles. Anyone considering the Premium may find themselves wondering if it is worth pushing to get a Cyberbeast, as the gap between these two models has narrowed.Cybertruck Sales Decline In 2026Tesla CybertruckTeslaIn the U.S. over the first half of the year, Tesla sold 7,263 Cybertrucks, a 32.2% decline and down from the 10,712 units sold over the same period in 2025. That decline came even as one of its main rivals, the Ford F-150 Lightning, was discontinued. Most electric pickups are struggling in 2026, with the electric Chevy Silverado's sales down by almost exactly the same percentage (-32.5%). One model that has been able to increase sales this year has been the GMC Sierra EV, with sales up just under 10% for this pickup.Another reason buyers may pause before purchasing a new Cybertruck is its heavy depreciation. Early Foundation Series models were flipped for $150,000 or more when the truck was launched, but those same models are now selling for as little as $58,000 in some cases. According to Car Edge, the Cybertruck is estimated to lose close to half its value after five years, but we've seen some buyers incur even bigger losses in less time.Related: Tesla Cybertruck Buyers Who Paid $150,000 Face A Brutal Price CollapseWhat It MeansTesla CybertruckTeslaLarge, electric pickups are still a tough sell. They're priced beyond what the average buyer can afford, yet they're not as capable when it comes to range or towing. For the Cybertruck specifically, the initially groundbreaking design has not contributed to it being the runaway success some expected. AdvertisementAdvertisementRather, we're seeing the market shift towards much smaller, simpler electric trucks. Slate's $25k pickup and the upcoming Ford Fathom will bring electric pickups to an entirely new group of buyers, where supercar-like performance isn't expected. With prices for larger electric pickups still increasing—and the continued demand for gas-powered trucks—it's difficult to see models like the Cybertruck becoming meaningfully more popular in the current climate.Related: Tesla Quietly Ends Cheapest Cybertruck: Why You Won't Miss ItThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 25, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
