Yea, increase to what is the question.
The old RWD Cybertruck was priced at $69,990. The new AWD Standard has more features than the old RWD trim, so in theory, the AWD Standard should cost more than $69,990.

On the other hand, pretty much everyone would agree that the old RWD trim was overpriced. I don't think an AWD Standard in the $70,000+ range would be attractive, given that that the AWD Premium is at $79,990. So the price has to start with a 6. My guess is $64,990.

You think air suspension and a better stereo justifies 15k spread?

In addition to the air suspension and the better stereo, the AWD Premium also has:

- premium interior
- heated rear seats, ventilated front seats
- second row display
- 120V cabin outlets
- 20" wheels
- premium bed and tail lamps
- gear locker under bed
- L-track cargo rails
- more towing capacity
- more payload

Is all that worth $15,000 more? Well, right now it's priced at $20,000 more.

I think $65 is a good guess, gives them room to push a lot of inventory out when they include FSD with it later etc

I guess it's a personal decision because one can only consider what part of that list applies to oneself. I consider the hardware difference fluff. I don't see more than a $5k delta

I was blown away by the quality of audio system of the premium AWD. I have spent over $100,000 in audio gears looking for that perfect sound stage image and clear highs and mids and strong yet musical bass. I have realized that the shape of room, the distance between the walls and wavelength of the sound play the most important role. I don’t know if Tesla engineers “engineered” the CT interior space and speaker placement but it sounded like $50,000 system.

Well, a $5k delta implies that Tesla should price the new AWD Standard at $74,990 -- which would be a $15,000 increase from the current price. I suspect a lot of people will be disappointed if that is the case.

Alternatively, let's say Tesla does price the AWD Standard at $64,990, like I guessed. Then they could achieve the $5k delta by pricing the AWD Premium at $69,990 -- which would be a $10,000 decrease from the current price. I suspect a lot of people will be excited if that is the case.

I don't actually expect either scenario to occur though. The delta between the two AWD trims will end up being more than $5k, but less than the current $20k.

I would happily pay $5K++ upgrade to have any OEM stereo sound as good as the Premium/CB system.

Air suspension is pretty nice! $10K worth? I dunno. But as mentioned above, you do get more than just these two things.
