Tesla has raised the price of two Cybertruck versions by $5,000 apiece, adding another sharp turn to a pricing story that has changed three times in six months.

The Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive now starts at $74,990, up from $69,990. Premium All-Wheel Drive moves from $79,990 to $84,990.

Cyberbeast stays at $99,990.

That leaves the least-expensive Cybertruck $15,000 above the brief $59,990 price Tesla promoted in February. It also narrows the gap between Premium AWD and Cyberbeast to just $15,000.

The new pricing appeared in Tesla’s U.S. ordering system without a separate company announcement or an identified change in equipment.

A same-day post captured the before-and-after prices as the configurator changed.

UOL carries Reuters reporting that Tesla moved the Dual Motor AWD from $69,990 to $74,990 and Premium AWD from $79,990 to $84,990 on Tuesday. The Cyberbeast remained at $99,990.

The report traces the lower Dual Motor truck back to its $59,990 introduction in February. Tesla raised it to $69,990 after that short promotional window, so the newest adjustment puts the same basic trim $15,000 above its first advertised price in roughly half a year.

Tesla did not attach a public explanation to Tuesday’s change. That makes the configurator itself the action: buyers beginning a new order now face the higher base prices.

The percentage move is not small. The Dual Motor increase works out to about 7.1 percent, while Premium AWD rises roughly 6.3 percent.

The unchanged Cyberbeast price creates the more interesting lineup question.

Before Tuesday, Premium AWD sat $20,000 below Cyberbeast. It now sits $15,000 below the top truck, giving shoppers already considering Premium a smaller jump to the highest-performance version.

The full post-change ladder makes that compressed gap easy to see.

Motor1 calculates the same trim changes and notes that the Premium-to-Cyberbeast spread has tightened by one-quarter. Its comparison also separates the advertised vehicle prices from destination, order, wheel and other option costs that can push the actual transaction higher.

The outlet found no accompanying specification change. Its timeline places the Dual Motor at $59,990 in February, $69,990 in March and $74,990 now, while Premium AWD moved from $79,990 to $84,990 in this latest round.

That history matters because Tesla changes prices far more readily than a traditional model-year sticker suggests. A Cybertruck shopper who waited through spring and summer is now looking at a materially different entry point even though the truck’s basic role in the lineup has not changed.

Tesla continues to position Cyberbeast as the performance flagship. Its current product page lists an estimated 320 miles of range, a 2.6-second run from zero to 60 mph, a 130 mph top speed and up to 11,000 pounds of towing capacity.

The same official page describes a six-foot-by-four-foot composite bed, up to 120.7 cubic feet of cargo space and adaptive air suspension that can raise the truck’s ground clearance to 16 inches in Extract Mode. Tesla also promotes the truck’s 240-volt power capability, five available outlets and ability to provide backup power to a home.

Those specifications help explain why a $15,000 gap may pull some Premium shoppers upward. They do not explain why Tesla raised the two lower trims on Tuesday, and the company has not publicly tied the new prices to a hardware revision, new range estimate or new equipment package.

The sales picture also requires care because Tesla does not publish a clean Cybertruck delivery total in its quarterly release.

Tesla Investor Relations reported 12,364 second-quarter deliveries in its combined “Other Models” category. That bucket included Cybertruck alongside other programs, so it cannot be presented as a Cybertruck-only number.

Tesla produced 8,822 vehicles in that same combined category during the quarter. The company also warned that delivery figures are only one measure of financial performance and should not be read as a complete verdict on revenue, cost or demand.

For buyers, the immediate result is simpler than the strategy behind it.

A new Dual Motor Cybertruck order starts $5,000 higher than it did Monday and $15,000 higher than the February offer. Premium AWD is also $5,000 more expensive, while Cyberbeast’s unchanged sticker makes the top of the lineup look closer than it did a day ago.

Tesla can change those numbers again whenever it chooses. For now, the Cybertruck’s price ladder has moved upward—and the most affordable rung has taken the biggest six-month climb.
