My Tesla Cybertruck Cost Breakdown: What I Paid and Why

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! We've had our 2024 Tesla Cybertruck for just under a month now, and I've been getting tons of questions about the price, discounts, and overall deal. If you caught our delivery video, you know it was a wild ride—and yeah, those initial issues haven't been fixed yet, but we're not slowing down. We've already customized it a bunch, and today, I'm breaking down exactly how much we paid for this beast. Let's dive in!

Quick Recap: Our Cybertruck Mods

Before we get to the numbers, let's talk about what we've done to make this Cybertruck truly ours. It's a Foundation Series model, one of the last ones available before they sold out. We didn't waste any time upgrading it:

• Wheels: 24-inch Cyberspoke wheels from Unplugged Performance. They're running a promo right now—check the link below to snag the deal!
• Wrap: Flexi Shield Shockwave PPF in a dynamic color that shifts from green to blue depending on the light. It's a gloss wrap, and trust me, you have to see it in person. If you're thinking about wrapping your Cybertruck, Unplugged Performance has a special Dennis deal on Flexi Shield options.
• Light Bar: A super bright one from Unplugged Performance—my first ever on a vehicle, and it's a game-changer for night drives.
• Tints: Done by the pros at OC Tint Solutions. Shoutout to Jason and the team—mention the "Dennis deal" if you're getting tints for your Tesla. It ties everything together perfectly.

These mods have transformed the truck, and I'm loving the results. If you're modding your own, definitely hit up those links for exclusive promos.

The Payment Breakdown: How Much Did It Really Cost?

Alright, the part you've all been waiting for—the full financial rundown. I was hesitant about buying another Cybertruck at first. I have this rule against getting the same car twice because I love trying new vehicles (call it car ADD). But this deal was too good to pass up.

Tesla was offering 0% financing on Cybertrucks if you include Full Self-Driving (FSD), which the Foundation Series already has baked in. There's a $20,000 markup for the Foundation Series, but they knocked off $10,000, leaving me with effectively a $10,000 premium. Factor in FSD (valued at $8,000) and free lifetime Supercharging, and it starts to feel like a steal—especially since I've been driving a ton and maximizing those free charges.

Here's the nitty-gritty:

• Down Payment: $32,887 (thanks to equity from Tesla buying back our first Cybertruck).
• Financing: 0% interest over 60 months (opting for 72 months bumps it to 1%, so we stuck with 60).
• Monthly Payment: $1,088.77 (Cool number, right?)

This includes taxes and fees here in California. Overall, it's a solid deal for a brand-new Foundation Series Cybertruck with all the perks.

Why I'm Not Regretting This Purchase

Three weeks in, and I'm thrilled. The Cybertruck's utility is unmatched—it's fun, comfortable, and with free Supercharging everywhere in California, fueling up feels effortless. I tie charges into errands, and it's never a hassle. If you're on the fence, this summer-friendly truck might just make sense for you too.
