Electric vehicle maker Tesla is no longer offering its cheapest Cybertruck model, which was previously available at the price of $61,000. Instead, customers are only able to order the pricier versions from $99,990 and $119,990.
According to automotive experts, the move is likely prompted by the fact that the more expensive versions of Cybertruck haven’t drawn enough interest. One clue is a short delivery time, which means the company currently has plenty of units in its inventory.
Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive, which costs $99,990, comes with dual motor and has a range of 318 miles. According to Tesla’s official website, customers can expect their cars delivered in September or August.
The tri-motor Cyberbeast version, which costs $119,990 and has a 301-mile range, has an estimated delivery date set to October and November.
Meanwhile, the now unavailable cheapest Cybertruck previously came with estimated delivery dates in 2025.
Tesla had big plans for Cybertruck when the model was first introduced in 2019. At the time, the company predicted it would have a 500-mile range and cost around $40,000. However, the production of the model experienced a number of obstacles, and the first units were delivered in 2023. By that point, more than two million reservations had been placed for the model.
