The mid-level Premium AWD trim was hiked 6.2% to $84,990 from $79,990. However, the range-topping Cyberbeast trim remains the same as before at $99,990. Notably, the price difference between the entry-level Dual-Motor AWD trim and the range-topping trim has come down to roughly $25,000. It remains unclear why Tesla made changes to the prices at this moment. > Tesla has just increased Cybertruck prices in the U.S. by up to 7%. > > New prices: > • Cybertruck Dual-Motor AWD: $74,990 (from $69,990, 7.1% increase) > • Cybertruck Premium AWD: $84,990 (from $79,990, 6.2% increase) > • Cybertruck Cyberbeast: $99,990 (same as before) pic.twitter.com/MDskuuYacj > > — Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) August 25, 2026 **Read Also: TSLA Competitor? Xiaomi Joins NIO in Race to Build In-House Chips for Self-Driving Cars** The EV giant had launched the entry-level trim earlier this year at $59,990 with a 325-mile range, but a reduced towing capacity of 7,500 lbs. However, the price changes may not have done much by way of increasing sales, as the EV giant had recorded that 7,133 Cybertrucks had been registered in the United States through May 2026. In June, the billionaire had touted the Cybertruck getting the automaker’s Actually Smart Summon feature via a future update, saying that the truck could navigate a parking lot and drive itself to the owner using the feature. ## Tesla’s Cybercab Goal Analysts from investment bank **JP Morgan Chase & Co.** (NYSE:JPM), following a meeting with Tesla management, released an investor note, saying that the company was holding back the Model Y Robotaxi ramp-up in favor of the Cybercab, while also touting future models based on the Cybercab. However, investor **Ross Gerber** of **Gerber Kawasaki** remained skeptical of the claims, questioning the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system and saying his suspicions that the HW4/AI4 chips would not be able to offer Unsupervised FSD were true following the note, which said that the FSD V15 promised improvements but would require more compute. **Price Action:** TSLA shares surged 0.78% to $351.66 during pre-market trading on Tuesday. **Read Also: Elon Musk Reveals Why SpaceX Launched Tesla’s Roadster Into Orbit: ‘We Didn’t Want to Risk Anything Valuable’** *Check out more of Benzinga’s Future Of Mobility coverage by* following this link. *Photo courtesy: wedmoments.stock / Shutterstock.com* ### Related Stocks - [TSL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSL.US.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [TSLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TESL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TESL.US.md) - [TSLS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLS.US.md) - [TSLG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLG.US.md) - [TSLR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) - [TSLT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLT.US.md) - [TSLZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLZ.US.md) - [TSLI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLI.US.md) - [TSLO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLO.US.md) - [TSLW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLW.US.md) - [TSLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLY.US.md) - [TSYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSYY.US.md) - [TYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TYYY.US.md) - [CRSH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRSH.US.md) - [TSLP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLP.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [07766.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [09366.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09366.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Tesla Raises The Price Of Its Cybertruck](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296927105.md) - [Tesla confirms Cybercab launch coming next week](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296814914.md) - [Tesla Is Finally Getting Ready to Demo a Flying Roadster.
