- TSLA stock fell 4% on Monday, its worst session in a month, though it remains up 12% in August

Tesla raised prices on two Cybertruck models by up to 7% on Tuesday, with TSLA stock down 3.83% as investors weigh whether demand can support the higher tags.
The Cybertruck Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive now costs $74,990, up from $69,990. The Premium All-Wheel Drive rose to $84,990 from $79,990. The Cyberbeast stayed put at $99,990.
This is not the first time Tesla has shuffled Cybertruck pricing. The company raised the Cyberbeast by $15,000 to $114,990 back in August 2025, then reversed that increase in February. In February 2026, Tesla also briefly introduced a lower-priced Dual Motor at $59,990, which Musk said would only be available for 10 days.
Tesla has just increased Cybertruck prices in the U.S. by up to 7%.
New prices:

• Cybertruck Premium AWD: $84,990 (from $79,990, 6.2% increase)

The latest hikes raise an obvious question: is demand actually there?
The numbers suggest a tough road. Cox Automotive estimated Tesla sold just 3,519 Cybertrucks in Q1 2026, down about 45% from the same period a year earlier. First-half 2026 U.S. sales came in at around 7,263 units.
For context, full-year 2025 Cybertruck sales fell 48% to 20,237 units, down from 38,965 in 2024. That is still a long way from Elon Musk’s stated goal of 250,000 units per year.
Tesla does not break out Cybertruck deliveries separately, so investors are left relying on third-party estimates from firms like Cox Automotive.
Delivery Timelines Stretch Into 2027
Tesla’s online configurator is showing extended delivery windows across much of its lineup. Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt noted that most models currently show October or November delivery estimates. The base Dual Motor Cybertruck is not expected until 2027.
Higher-priced trims generally ship sooner. The Cyberbeast was recently listed for delivery within weeks in some locations, and inventory units can arrive faster still.
Production Back on Track After Supplier Dispute
On the production side, things are improving. Cybertruck output at Giga Texas hit a snag earlier this year after a dispute with supplier Angstrom Automotive Group put Tesla’s access to critical tooling at risk.
Tesla secured a temporary restraining order in early August, allowing it to retrieve the equipment. Cybertrucks began reappearing in the factory’s outbound lots shortly afterward.
Tesla has also made a material change to the Cybertruck’s construction, switching from aluminum underbody panels to a lighter, lower-cost composite material. The Actually Smart Summon feature has also begun rolling out to Cybertruck owners.
On the regulatory front, Nevada approved permits for up to 5,000 Tesla robotaxis, compared to 1,000 each for Waymo and Uber’s partners Motional and Zoox. Citizens Bank kept its “Market Perform” rating on Tesla following the news.
