• The Tesla Cybertruck is now only available to order one way, and that’s the tri-motor Cyberbeast.
  • Listed at $112,235 before options on Tesla’s configurator, the Cyberbeast is the most expensive version of the electric truck, but it boasts the best performance.
  • Tesla has trimmed the lineup from three models to one roughly a week after CEO Elon Musk said that Cybertruck production will end in 2027.

Time is running out for the Tesla Cybertruck. Just last week, CEO Elon Musk announced that the company is winding down production of the polarizing electric pickup, which will officially go offline sometime in the middle of next year. While that might’ve set off alarm bells for anyone who is still hoping to order a new Cybertruck, there’s yet another twist to consider, and that’s the fact that Tesla has trimmed the lineup to a single model—and it’s the most expensive one.

If you head on over to Tesla’s consumer site and navigate to the Cybertruck’s ordering page, you’ll see that the Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive and Premium All-Wheel Drive models are no longer available to order. That leaves only the Cyberbeast, which has a starting price of $112,235 when you include the $250 non-refundable order fee and mandatory $1995 destination charge. Selecting additional options can push the truck’s price past $120K.

As Not a Tesla App first pointed out, the Cyberbeast’s base price has risen by $10,000 since the start of the year, including $7500 since last week. Regardless of the price hikes, a $100,000 vehicle is still out of reach for most people, and that’s also likely the case for the now-discontinued Dual Motor AWD variant, which last started at nearly $85K with all the mandatory fees. Of course, even casual observers will agree that Tesla’s decision to trim the Cybertruck lineup to the single most expensive model is a way to maximize profits during the waning months of its life.

For those who can afford a new Cyberbeast, its hefty price tag brings impressive acceleration numbers, with the last version we tested hitting 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds (matching Tesla’s claim). However, the 834-hp tri-motor electric truck didn’t meet its 320-mile range estimate, with its battery running out of juice after 250 miles in our 75-mph real-world highway test. Pro tip: Keeping the Cybertruck’s roll-top bed cover closed saved us 25 miles of range at sustained highway speeds.

These are a few of the things we’ll have to remember it by. And if you’re feeling bummed that you can’t afford the last batch of new Cybertrucks, just remember that there are pre-owned models aplenty.
