Tesla has begun sending out invitations to order the non-Foundation Series Cybertruck, which is priced at $79,990 before options. The Foundation Series variant added $20,000 to the Cybertruck’s base price, making the Cybertruck All Wheel Drive (AWD) start at $99,990 and the tri-motor Cyberbeast start at $119,990. Customers can now order the standard variants of the all-electric pickup truck without any extras, bringing the price back down to $79,990 for the AWD version.
Tesla has not confirmed if the Cybertruck AWD will qualify for the U.S. federal tax credit. Deliveries of the non-Foundation Series Cybertruck are estimated to begin in October to November 2024. The range of the standard Cybertruck AWD is listed at 325 miles per charge, slightly lower than the 340-mile range of the Foundation Series Cybertruck AWD. Pricing has been released for options such as Cyber Wheels and Covers, White Interior color, Full Self-Driving (FSD), and a range extender.
Customers who opt for a standard Cybertruck with all the options that were included in the Foundation Series vehicle will find that the price difference is minimal. With FSD costing $7,000 for early reservation holders, Cyber Wheels and Covers priced at $3,500, and the White Interior Color at $2,000, the additional cost is relatively low. With the inclusion of a $2,500 Tesla Shop voucher and various accessories, the overall premium for early adopters is around $3,000.
Some customers have noted that the Foundation Series premium was worth it due to the included accessories like 3D All-Weather Interior Liners, Gear Locker Dividers, Glass Roof Sunshade, and more. The $3,000 or less premium for early adopters is seen as reasonable given the added value of the accessories. The start of production for the standard variants of the Cybertruck indicates that Tesla is moving closer to fulfilling orders for the highly anticipated all-electric pickup truck.
Overall, the availability of the non-Foundation Series Cybertruck at a starting price of $79,990 provides customers with a more affordable option without the additional costs of the premium package. The standard Cybertruck AWD offers a range of 325 miles per charge and is expected to be delivered to customers in the coming months. With pricing released for various options and accessories, customers can customize their Cybertruck to their liking while keeping costs within a reasonable range. The removal of the Foundation Series option allows for a more streamlined ordering process for those interested in purchasing Tesla’s innovative all-electric pickup truck.
