Tesla delays cheapest Cybertruck deliveries until 2027

Tesla has updated its website to show delivery estimates of 2027 for new orders of the Dual Motor all-wheel drive Cybertruck variant, priced at $59,990. This follows the variant's launch last week and indicates strong demand, with production slots sold out through the end of 2026. The company plans to increase the price after February 28.

Tesla Inc. launched the Dual Motor all-wheel drive (AWD) variant of its Cybertruck last week at a starting price of $59,990, positioning it as the cheapest option among the three available versions. The premium all-wheel drive and Cyberbeast variants are priced at $79,990 and $99,990, respectively. According to Tesla's online configurator, new orders for the Dual Motor AWD now face delivery waits until 2027 for zip codes in Texas and California, a shift from initial estimates of June 2026.

Delivery timelines have shifted rapidly since orders opened. Early estimates pointed to June 2026, but strong interest pushed them to November 2026 within days. Subsequent updates moved dates to March 2027 for some customers, and now the configurator simply lists 2027 without specifics for recent orders. In contrast, higher-end dual-motor and tri-motor versions offer deliveries within 10 to 12 weeks.

Tesla announced earlier this week that the $59,990 price for the Dual Motor AWD will rise after February 28, though no new price was specified. This variant includes features such as an estimated 325 miles of range, powered tonneau cover, 7,500-pound towing capacity, steer-by-wire, and four-wheel steering. It uses coil springs with adaptive damping instead of air suspension found in pricier trims.

The Cybertruck began deliveries in November 2023, years after its 2019 unveiling where Elon Musk predicted entry-level pricing around $40,000 and annual sales up to 500,000 units. Actual 2025 sales for premium models including Cybertruck fell below 20,000 units estimated, amid higher-than-expected prices and mixed reception to its stainless steel design. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits remains extremely bullish for TSLA stock, which has risen 42% over the past year.

Cybertruck Owners Club forum users noted the demand is rebuilding reservation queues, with one owner, Vin, suggesting a $10,000 price hike to $69,990 to boost conversion rates from the current $250 nonrefundable deposit orders.

What people are saying

X users react positively to Tesla's Cybertruck Dual Motor delivery delays to 2027, attributing it to overwhelming demand and celebrating sold-out slots through 2026. Enthusiasts urge ordering now to secure the $59,990 price before the post-February 28 increase. Skeptics view the backlog as driven by temporary discount pricing rather than sustainable interest, citing prior sales struggles.

Tesla introduced a Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive base Cybertruck at $59,990—a $20,000 cut from the $79,240 premium AWD trim—available only until February 28, 2026, alongside a Cyberbeast reduction to $99,240. Amid 2025 sales of 20,237 units (down 48% YoY), strong demand has pushed U.S. deliveries to April 2027, as CEO Elon Musk noted future pricing will depend on this period.

Tesla kicked off Cybertruck deliveries in the United Arab Emirates on January 21, 2026, handing over around 63 vehicles at a Dubai launch event. This marks the electric pickup's entry into the Middle East after initial deliveries in South Korea, even as US sales continue to slump—as detailed in prior coverage—and regulatory hurdles block Europe.

Elon Musk's SpaceX has purchased more than 1,000 Cybertrucks from Tesla, according to a report citing a source familiar with the matter. The acquisition, potentially worth over $80 million, aims to support Tesla amid weak demand for the electric pickup. SpaceX may increase its fleet to around 2,000 vehicles over time.

Tesla introduced more affordable Standard versions of its Model 3 and Model Y this week, priced at $36,990 and $39,990 respectively, to stimulate demand following the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities sees this as a step toward 500,000 quarterly deliveries, potentially reaching 600,000 with future models like the Cybercab. The launches come amid mixed reactions on pricing and features, including a closed roof on the Model Y Standard.

Tesla shares fell approximately 2.6% to around $392 in early trading on March 2, 2026, amid rising oil prices from Middle East tensions and mixed European sales data. The decline followed a Cybertruck price increase to $69,990 for the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model. Investors weighed these factors against ongoing demand concerns in key markets.
