Tesla's $109,990 Cyberbeast Is Now Its Only Cybertruck

Tesla's only orderable U.S. Cybertruck is the $109,990 tri-motor Cyberbeast, following a second price increase of $7,500. The $82,490 Dual Motor AWD and $92,490 Premium AWD remain listed, but Tesla greyed out both in the U.S. configurator, and buyers could not order either on Nov. 13.

What changed in the Cybertruck price?

The Cyberbeast cost $99,990 before Musk announced on Nov. 6 that Cybertruck production in Texas would wind down to make room for the Cybercab robotaxi. Tesla then raised prices by as much as 10% and paused Dual Motor orders, lifting the Cyberbeast to $102,490. A second increase took it to $109,990.

Electrek reported that the truck's specifications have not changed: about 320 miles of estimated range, 11,000 pounds of towing capacity and 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds. Not a Tesla App first reported the latest increase and the end of Premium AWD orders on Nov. 10.

Tesla has not said whether the cheaper trims will reopen before production ends, now planned for the end of summer 2027. The sequence leaves buyers with a higher price and fewer configurations, while Tesla adds time to work through the backlog. The stated reason for the extension is working through more of the backlog.

How large is the backlog?

Musk said on Nov. 9 that the Cybertruck's "order rate far exceeds our production rate" and Tesla would have to return many deposits. Two days later, he extended production "through the end of summer 2027" to work through more of the backlog. Tesla has not said whether Premium AWD or Dual Motor orders will reopen before the line stops.

Demand had been weak before the production announcement, according to Electrek. The outlet estimates Tesla delivered 7,000 to 8,000 Cybertrucks in the third quarter, a pace of about 30,000 a year, on a line built for more than 125,000. The order-rate claim comes from Musk; the delivery estimate comes from Electrek.

One figure concerns orders; the other concerns completed deliveries. Neither establishes when the current backlog will clear.

Which buyers still face an open question?

In February, Tesla offered a Dual Motor version at $59,990 for 10 days. Electrek said some buyers have faced delivery dates pushed into 2027, and Tesla has not said whether their trucks will be built. When Electrek checked, Tesla's inventory search showed no new Cybertrucks within 200 miles of Los Angeles.

The promotion targeted the model that now cannot be ordered at any listed price. Some buyers who secured that $59,990 price face delivery dates in 2027 without a confirmed build schedule. The inventory result covers only a 200-mile radius, so it cannot establish availability across the broader market.

What will Tesla decide next?

The configuration page now offers one orderable truck and two unselectable prices. That is an unusual way to manage a planned production close.

The next test is whether Tesla can turn that backlog into deliveries before the summer 2027 cutoff, with the only orderable truck carrying a $109,990 price. The commercial outcome will also hinge on whether Tesla restores the $82,490 and $92,490 trims before then.
