"Some are arguing that the decision to confirm a price hike in ten days is sort of counterproductive, especially considering it is based on demand. Giving consumers a timeline of just ten days to make a big purchase like a pickup truck for $60,000, and basically stating the price will go up, will only push people to make a reservation."
"Elon Musk has clarified what he meant by his comment on X yesterday that seemed to indicate that Tesla would either do away with the new All-Wheel-Drive configuration of the Cybertruck or adjust the price. The response was cryptic as nobody truly knew what Musk's plans were for the newest Tesla Cybertruck trim level. We now have that answer, and fans of the company are responding in a polarizing fashion."
"On Thursday night, Tesla launched the Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive, priced competitively at $59,990. It was a vast improvement from the Rear-Wheel-Drive configuration Tesla launched last year at a similar price point, which was eventually cancelled just a few months later due to low demand. However, Musk said early on Friday, "just for 10 days," the truck would either be available or priced at $59,990. We can now confirm Tesla will adjust the price based on more recent comments from the CEO."
Tesla launched an All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck priced at $59,990 and will monitor demand at that price point for ten days before adjusting pricing. The All-Wheel-Drive trim replaces a Rear-Wheel-Drive configuration that was cancelled months earlier after low demand. The ten-day window and public statement of a potential price increase has prompted criticism that it pressures consumers to reserve quickly. Supporters argue the approach logically tests market response and allows price adjustment based on actual demand. Social responses to the announcement have been polarizing, with some criticizing the timeline and others encouraging straightforward consumer choice.
