Musk opens 10-day window for Cybertruck AWD price and ignites debate among fans

Elon Musk signals price variation for the Cybertruck AWD in just 10 days; deliveries scheduled for June and community reaction surrounding demand.

Cybertruck AWD priced at US$ 59,990 and 10-day window awaits debate

Elon Musk clarified, in messages on the X social network, a comment that generated doubts about the new configuration of the Cybertruck: the All-Wheel-Drive may be available or have its price adjusted only "in the next 10 days". Tesla launched the AWD for US$ 59,990, and stated that the price may fluctuate according to the observed demand.

The news divided fans and analysts. Some see the strategy as a fair test of demand, while others consider the communication confusing and capable of making buyers act quickly just to lock in the value.

What changed with the new configuration

The company indicated that the price will recede based on demand, potentially varying according to what is observed at this level.

Characteristics of the new AWD

• Estimated range of 325 miles (Dual Motor AWD)
• Powered tonneau cover
• Outlets in the bed and Powershare
• Coil spring suspension with adaptive damping
• Steer-by-wire and four-wheel steering
• 6’ x 4’ composite bed
• Towing capacity up to 7,500 lb
• Electrically actuated frunk

This AWD represents a more accessible offering compared to premium options, keeping the line's historical price at levels close to 2019, adjusted for inflation.

Community reaction and context

Some defend the strategy, stating that it makes sense to test demand before any definitive adjustment. Others criticize the communication and the perception of an implicit "threat," while some ask for more public clarity.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin in June 2026. Historically, Tesla has already adjusted or removed versions with lower demand, as happened with the Rear-Wheel-Drive, and the current plan involves the Cybertruck within an autonomy vision, with possibilities for changes in the product line as the market evolves.

Impact and additional context

Furthermore, comments from public analysts about the Cybertruck highlight the challenge of maintaining low-volume vehicle programs, even given a considerable fan base. While some advocate for the continuation of the line, others question the alignment with Tesla's autonomy strategy.
