"Last night, Tesla made some hefty cuts to Cybertruck pricing in an effort to stimulate some sales. The bombastic tri-motor "Cyberbeast" is $15,000 cheaper at $99,990, albeit by dropping some previously free features like supercharging and FSD. And there's now a new $59,990 entry-level model, a dual-motor configuration with a range of 325 miles (523 km) and the same 4.1-second 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time as the $79,990 premium all-wheel drive version."
"That actually makes the new entry-level model a good deal, at least in terms of Cybertrucks. Last year, the company introduced and then eliminated a single-motor rear-wheel drive variant, which found few takers when priced at $69,990; an extra motor for $10,000 less is quite a savings, and actually slightly cheaper than the price originally advertised for the RWD truck."
Tesla reduced Cybertruck prices, cutting the tri-motor "Cyberbeast" to $99,990 and introducing a $59,990 dual-motor entry model. The entry model offers 325 miles (523 km) range and a 4.1-second 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time, matching the $79,990 premium AWD variant. The entry model's towing capacity drops to 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg) from 11,000 lbs (4,990 kg), and cargo capacity falls to 2,006 lbs (910 kg) from 2,500 lbs (1,134 kg). Steel springs with adaptive dampers replace air suspension. Interior and convenience changes include textile seats, no front seat ventilation, no second-row seat heaters, a different console, fewer speakers, and no active noise cancellation.
