Tesla Cybertruck AWD Now Priced at $74,990 After Adjustment From Original $59,990
The review highlights steer-by-wire and FSD as standout features while noting panel gap issues on some builds.
Tesla's base All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck configuration now carries a price of $74,990 following an adjustment, up significantly from the approximately $59,990 starting price set several months ago.
What Happened
The source is a full review of the Tesla Cybertruck AWD after a week of driving. Following a recent price adjustment, the base All-Wheel-Drive model is now priced at $74,990, compared to its original starting price of approximately $59,990 several months ago—a difference of roughly $15,000. The reviewer noted panel gap issues on some builds, particularly between the hood and front quarter panels on certain units tested. Standard wheels are 18-inch Molten Wheels, with 20-inch Core Wheels featuring 35-inch tires available as an option. Interior features include textile material rather than vegan leather and only one USB-C port in the front, which is hidden in the center console. The reviewer drove over 600 miles including a 14-hour stretch through Pennsylvania without fatigue, calling it perhaps the smoothest ride of any Tesla currently available.
Why It Matters
The $15,000 price increase shifts the Cybertruck AWD into a different competitive category, moving it further from its original sub-$60,000 entry point. For buyers considering an electric pickup, the review highlights steer-by-wire and Full Self-Driving (available for $99 per month) as differentiating features not found in competing trucks. However, the reviewer acknowledges that other pickups on the market offer greater towing capacity, payload capacity, and range—factors that remain relevant for truck-focused buyers despite Cybertruck's technology advantages.
The Bottom Line
The Tesla Cybertruck AWD now starts at $74,990 after a recent price adjustment from its original roughly $59,990 starting price. Reviewer impressions were largely positive regarding driving comfort and performance, though the vehicle faces competition on traditional truck metrics like towing and payload capacity.
