"Tesla's estimated delivery window for new Cybertruck Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) orders in the United States has shifted to September-October 2026. This suggests that the vehicle's sub-$60,000 variant is now effectively sold out until then. The updated timeline was highlighted in a post on X by Tesla watcher Sawyer Merritt, who noted that the estimated delivery window had moved from June 2026 to September-October 2026, 'presumably due to strong demand.'"
"When the Cybertruck was first unveiled in November 2019, Tesla listed the Dual Motor AWD variant at $49,990. Adjusted for inflation, that figure equates to roughly $63,000 in 2026 dollars, based on cumulative U.S. inflation since 2019. That context makes a potential post-February price in the $64,000 to $65,000 range less surprising, especially as material, labor, and manufacturing costs have shifted significantly over the past several years."
"If demand remains steady, the combination of a later delivery window and a pending price increase suggests Tesla is seeing sustained interest in the newly-introduced Cybertruck configuration. This was highlighted by Elon Musk on X, when he noted that the Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD's introductory price will only be available for a limited time."
Tesla's Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD variant, priced at $59,990, has experienced strong demand, pushing delivery estimates from June 2026 to September-October 2026. The company announced a price increase effective after February 28, 2025, limiting the introductory pricing to a brief window. The original 2019 price of $49,990 adjusted for inflation equals approximately $63,000 in 2026 dollars, making a potential new price of $64,000-$65,000 reasonable given increased material, labor, and manufacturing costs. This combination of extended delivery timelines and pending price increases indicates sustained consumer interest in the Dual Motor AWD configuration, positioning it as the variant likely to drive widespread adoption of Tesla's all-electric full-sized pickup truck.
