What if they dump the current $80k option, rid of the air suspension, start this one at $70k and make leather seats and nicer wheels an option. You can then easily load it up to $80k without air suspension. You want air - you must beast!


Just speculating…

I did post on the other thread my guess is it goes up to $64,990, and at the same time, they lower the price on the "decked out" model from $79,990 to $74,990. Now they are $10K apart for all of that goodness.. They might also adjust the Cyberbeast pricing as well, (maybe $84,990?) but I have no clue what they would adjust it to. Remember, they have lowered their costs on the 4680 battery with their dry electrode process, and they also have their own lithium plant operational now, so pricing on all models will likely change.

I don't see why they would change the premium AWD or Cyberbeast prices. At least not now.

People buying the 60k truck weren't buyers for the other ones anyways. What good does that do. They have a ton of orders for the 60k truck cause it was a deal. Lowering the other ones would just piss off people who ordered those instead.

Some knucklehead named "Elon", said Tesla's original mission was "acclerating the transition to sustainable energy"

lowering the cost difference beween all models will increase sales of ALL models. Similar to the Model Y & the Model 3, they have different trim levels, with very calculated price differences between them. and, since they have now LOWERED their main pricey component (the battery), I believe he is trying to re-launch the Cybertruck, and get the sales #'s back to making it have a meanigful impact to Tesla, since you know, no more Model S & X shortly, and Optimus robots from Fremont's old S/X production line, very soon.

If tesla wants to sell the premium AWD, they can't have an almost identical truck selling for much less. It would absolutely kill AWD premium sales and the lower priced AWD will already have sales slanted towards it to begin with. Too much of a price difference will have very few takers of the premium.

On the forum silly 😜
I'm just curious how's anyone saying it's in big demand without actual order or deposit numbers? Was this posted somewhere and I missed it?

They will reduce the price of the other models so more people can afford them, and thus they will sell more of them. It's quite simple.

Why did they not do that for the S and X?
The S & X where NEVER designed to be mass produced, the Cybertruck WAS, from the very begining.
Fremont is a vastly different factory from Giga Texas... S & X where always low volume, high priced vehicles, which was required in the early years of Tesla to bootstrap the company.

To my knowledge Tesla has not reported any actual figures for sales or demand. However the community(forums, YouTube, Facebook, etc) have had a very positive view and uptick in content and traffic. Earlier today Tesla posted on their website the hard date after Feb. 28th that prices will increase for this model. The delivery date jumped from June 2026, to Sept./Oct. 2026 in 4 days time. They have also excluded the new base AWD from the $1,000 referral discount in the last couple of hours. Combined these all seem to indicate a large demand. All speculation of course but it seems to add up.

Makes sense, except for why they took this long to make an actual effort to boost sales.

They did, repeatedly. S-LR was 96k in '18, 79k by '20. S-Plaid launched at 135k and had the price slashed to under 99k a couple years later. That particular price drop had early Plaid buyers fuming.

Think of Tesla's like Game Consoles. They launch with bleeding edge technology, and sell to wealthy people at a high price in smaller numbers. As the tech matures, costs come down and they introduce cheaper variants to sell to the mass market. It's not about effort, the vehicle was just too costly to produce. Stainless steel manufacturing was harder than expected, and more importantly the 4680 cells had some serious challenges ramping up. Like the Model S Plaid, we're a couple years in so they've mostly exhausted the buyers who wanted "the latest thing" and need to find customers that need to evaluate their purchases more carefully. At the same time, their production techniques are polished now, and by many reports the battery production is much improved and less costly. So time for the price drop and/or a new model with something added, such as a longer range version.
