What'll be the final price for the Dual Motor AWD?

[Fugue]

There's a lot of speculation about what the price will be after the 28th. Let's have a poll.

I think it will bump up to around $65, but I don't think that will be the "final price". I think it will settle back down to $59. I think they're just testing the market, evaluating if slow sales are price or just that people don't like the truck or won't switch from their existing brand. Whenever I pop into the mall, there are still swarms of people around the Cybertruck at the Tesla store. I've never thought it was lack of desire, it's just too expensive for most people to buy or finance. I think the new model is going to sell like hotcakes, and we'll see pricing adjustment across the line before too long.

my 2 cents: $59k and some change.

These are annoying games Tesla is playing now.

For people who waited, baiting customers with a $59k truck without allowing the "missing" features to be added as Options that can be purchased individually (with a sizable margin included option pricing) is not going to get play well IMHO . making the offer for 10days adds insult to injury and makes it look even more like a game.. Tesla is playing ( hhmmm "experimenting") with us.. and I am supposed to play along?!.. I guess not.. on principle.

Someone said here on the forum that this $59k CT sku should have been the initial offer complementing the Cyberbeast for the extremely passionate (and rich enough) buyers. I wish that was the case too. was it greed, incompetence, too daring of a plan , miscalculations on business or technology side? some of those? all of those? the speculation is rampant but the results are what matters... I don't Elon is happy with the outcome, but maybe he moved to smtg else and let his CT dream slowly rot before it was really shared with his people, his buyers, and all of us who admire him.

Tesla made poor choices when pricing the truck the way they did at launch, then continued the FAFO for whatever reason. Their goals don't seem to be to make customers happy and ramp sales to 250k truck/year asap while filling the US and the world with awesome tech while is still HOT and desirable. when good EREVs are coming that value equation is likely to be "diluted" again and the total number of willing buyers enthused by the potential of the CT will further dwindle as people will have more choices on how to buy "latest tech" .

so maybe Tesla knows smtg we don't, but despite the clear objections that the potential buyers raise whenever a new game is played, to me it feels Tesla has an arrogant attitude here that is not customer friendly and it will cost them dearly in terms of what they could have monetized with the incredible CT. Too bad.

I feel sorry for them.... and I feel sorry for me. it's an unfortunate lose/lose situation that smart minds at Tesla could have avoided but for some reason they did not want to, or maybe they couldn't. Nor they were transparent about it. Nor they asked for the help and incredible passion of their own Tesla stakeholders ( may of them Tesla buyers!!!) who really believe in a company that should work for them. Nobody asked for Robotaxi. Almost nobody likes the Robotaxi idea except of its "economic sense"... it is not what people want.... with CT though, many people wanted it and many still want it ... my guess is that the "want" ( it is not NEED to be sure!!!) may change in 2-3 yrs if the product continues to be misaligned with the majority of "first time truck" buyers' needs and possibilities. That was a plump segment that Tesla made from thin air of sorts by coming up with a truck from the future. Now we are 7 years in that future.. and still no truck for us, just games.

it's been 7y since CT adventure started. I disciplined myself to wait, but every time I see Tesla's "new" CT offering I am disappointed one way or another. I am not sure how will I feel about it in 1-2y. CT may very well end up like DeLorean, the other stainless steel hit that never was a money maker: a trophy truck on the shelves of a few lucky enough, passionate enough, or rich enough to afford it.

I still have a bit of popcorn left and I continue to watch this "movie" but it's getting long in the tooth and I hear other cool movies are coming up soon.

For the people who got CTs, enjoy them! they are awesome. for the rest of us... the hope that Tesla will wake up and value the remains of of CT buyers pipeline that was once 2.5M strong will die last, before we go do something else... "it was nice while it lasted" I will say about my CT dream.

Maybe this is a lower the price build the volume play.

I think this is iikely. That way they can plan how much of the production line to allocate to Optimus.

 

[25AWDCT]

$39,995.

 

[Sjohnson20]

65k or they remove the trim

 

[Cybertruck2024]

$65k AWD Standard, $75k AWD Premium, $95k Beast is my guess of where this ends up. Optional luxe package for $10k on Premium and Beast only, but this happens once the S and X are gone.

$60K for a stainless steel truck with electric steering is a steel!
For an extra $100 a month it drives itself. There is nothing else on the market even close.

I have no need to a pickup truck, but a self driving stainless steel urban tank is the perfect vehicle for a wife that attracts door dings and whose driving skills are declining with age.
I ordered my $60K CT yesterday.

I could not justify the more expensive models because I do not need the air suspension. Technically, I do not even need the truck bed. I just need an urban tank that my wife can drive to the grocery store and to church. It will be our third Tesla. Best cars I have ever owned.
