Tesla Raises Cybertruck Prices in U.S., Impact on TSLA Stock
Tesla (TSLA) has increased the starting prices of its Cybertruck models by $5,000 each in the United States. This marks a shift from Tesla's earlier strategy of lowering prices to maintain demand and is seen as an effort to balance profitability with market positioning for this premium vehicle. The price hike affects both the Dual Motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) Cybertruck and the Premium AWD variant, raising their starting points to $74,990 and $84,990 respectively. This move comes amid a broader expansion of the global electric vehicle market, which is expected to grow significantly through 2035 due to supportive policies and technological advancements. Tesla's recent financial performance shows strong revenue growth but weaker-than-expected earnings in its second-quarter report for 2026. The company reported $28.24 billion in revenue with a gross margin of 16.8%, down slightly from the previous year, while non-GAAP EPS fell short of analyst estimates.
