When Tesla CEO Elon Musk first unveiled the Cybertruck in 2019, the angular pickup was pitched right at the heart of the highly competitive truck market. With a promised starting price of $39,900, the single-motor version ever so slightly undercut the cheapest version of Ford's electric F-150 Lightning. Tesla increased the entry-level price by more than $20,000 by the time the Cybertruck was actually getting close to production, with promises of deliveries in 2025. But now, all mention of the cheaper rear-wheel drive Cybertruck is gone from Tesla's ordering page.

Tesla is big on dynamically changing its pricing, raising or lowering costs to boost sales or extract more profit as the company needs. It also has a history of scrapping the base models of its vehicles after advertising their accessibility with a low introductory price. Now, it seems the company has put the two together, and cut out the Cybertruck’s base trim while raising the price of all others by $20,000.

If you've been waiting for a good reason to buy a Tesla, recent price cuts are about as good an excuse as any, with the Tesla Model Y now starting at $42,990 for the rear-wheel drive base model before tax credits and options. There are more powerful models in the lineup, and the range as a whole benefits from much cheaper prices for 2024, although there was an increase in April for the Model Y, specifically. The automaker has had various ups and downs with pricing - remember, the entry-level model started at $41,440 in 2021 before hitting a ridiculous peak of $65,990 in 2022.
