Tesla just dropped the base Cybertruck at $59,990 (or lease it for $699/month), and the hype is real. If you're even remotely interested, my advice? Place your order NOW to lock in this price. Why? Because it's going up—soon. Use my Tesla referral code in the description for up to $1,000 off your purchase.
Tesla's pricing history speaks for itself. Deliveries don't start until June (3-4 months away), and Elon has warned that prices change in 10 days. As Sawyer Merritt pointed out:
"Why would the Cybertruck dual motor AWD price go down in 10 days? Everyone who just ordered one for 60K would cancel and reorder cheaper. It's most certainly a price increase."
They're testing demand. If orders flood in, it stays near $60K. If not, expect $65K–$70K. Don't risk waking up to higher prices—$250 non-refundable deposit secures today's rate. Decide on financing later (future you's problem!).
Pro tip: Check for America's Heroes discount ($500 off after ID.me verification) + referral code for max savings.
Real-world photos and Tesla engineer insights reveal the base Cybertruck punches above its price:
Suspension: Coil springs (not air suspension). Easier for lift kits/mods—shoutout to Lamar for the pics!
Taillights: Standard has partial LEDs; upgrade to full rear LED bar for $1,000 (thanks, Josh!).
Sound System: 7 speakers (vs. 15 in premium). Engineer Wes says:
"Numbers aren't everything. Distribution, sound, and actuators matter. Base is on par with Model 3/Y and beats most non-Teslas. Premium is next-level."
Tonneau Cover: Same motorized, lockable one as higher trims—secure and aero.
Seats: Durable textile with heated fronts (no ventilation, but kid-proof).
Bed: Flat (no smuggler's box), single LED light bar (vs. full row). Still plenty usable.
Searches are spiking, and at $699/mo, this truck is a steal now. Place that deposit, test drive in June, then commit. Can't decide? Sell your Model 3/Y at top dollar via Plug—they're offering $3K–$5K over competitors.
What if it qualified for the $7,500 tax credit? Near $50K—insane value (shoutout Gregor).
