Tesla Cuts Cybertruck Lineup to Just $112,000 Cyberbeast
Tesla has reduced its Cybertruck lineup to a single model, the tri-motor Cyberbeast, priced at $112,235. The company plans to end Cybertruck production in mid-2027. The base price increased by $10,000 since January, with $7,500 of that increase occurring in the past week. The discontinued Dual Motor AWD variant had a starting price of around $85,000. Real-world testing showed the Cybertruck's range was lower than estimated.
