The Tesla Cybertruck<\/a> is now cheaper than ever in the United States as the electric vehicle (EV) maker looks to boost sales of one of its slowest-selling models \u2013 still not sold in Australia \u2013 after sales plummeted 48 per cent in 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The entry-level dual-motor, all-wheel-drive Cybertruck\u2019s starting price has been lowered by a significant US$20,000 (A$28,290) to US$59,990 (A$84,857).<\/p>\n

That makes it the cheapest price for a Cybertruck since the first customer deliveries in late 2023 \u2013 when the range started at US$60,990 (A$86,298) \u2013 and undercuts the rear-wheel-drive model discontinued late last year by US$10,000 (A$14,141).<\/p>\n

In cutting prices, Tesla also reduced the flagship Cyberbeast from US$114,990 (A$162,605) to US$99,990 (A$141,395), with the Luxe Package \u2013 introduced on the top model last August, coinciding with a US$15,000 (A$21,211) price hike \u2013 seemingly removed.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters<\/a>, Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to a user on social platform X \u2013 formerly Twitter \u2013 saying the pricing was available for 10 days only.<\/p>\n

The outlet said Tesla was yet to officially confirm whether the pricing was a limited-time offer or the new standard pricing.<\/p>\n

The price cut comes after only 20,237 Cybertrucks were sold in 2025, down from 38,965 the previous year, according to Kelley Blue Book<\/a> data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It means the Cybertruck made up only\u00a01.2 per cent\u00a0of the brand\u2019s 1,636,129 global vehicle deliveries in 2025, while the Model Y<\/a> \u2013 which was the world\u2019s best-selling EV \u2013 combined with the Model 3<\/a> to account for 97 per cent, with 1,585,279 deliveries.<\/p>\n

2025 marked Tesla\u2019s second consecutive year of sales decline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The automaker was overtaken by BYD as the world\u2019s best-selling EV brand<\/a> in 2025, with the Chinese company selling 2.26 million EVs, with the rest of its 4.6 million sales being plug-in hybrid vehicles.<\/p>\n

In Australia, Tesla posted 28,856 deliveries in 2025, down 24.8 per cent<\/a> on the previous year\u2019s 38,347 tally.<\/p>\n

More than three-quarters of Tesla\u2019s sales in Australia were of the Model Y, the top-selling EV in the country yet again<\/a>, despite the overall sales slump.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The reduced Cybertruck price does little to strengthen the case for the wild-looking pickup to be sold in Australia, though, with production still limited to left-hand drive.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s despite the local arm importing one in 2025 and exhibiting it at dealers and car shows across the country to assess a business case for local sales.<\/p>\n

Tesla Australia was contacted by CarExpert for comment but is yet to respond.<\/p>\n
