Tesla unveiled a new dual-motor, all-wheel-drive Cybertruck Thursday priced at $59,990-making it the company's most affordable model yet. But Elon Musk said on X the price is only good for 10 days. Tesla also slashed its top-end Cyberbeast price to $99,990 from $114,990, discontinuing its "Luxe Package" that included Full Self-Driving and free Supercharger access. The price cuts come as Tesla struggles to find buyers for the futuristic pickup truck.

Tesla Cybertruck deliveries started in the United States and Canada back in late 2023. However, the company has been looking to expand the all-electric pickup to new markets, including the Middle East, for which it opened up orders for earlier this year. Initially, Tesla planned to launch deliveries late this year, but there has been a slight adjustment to the timeline, and the company now anticipates the pickup to make its way to the first adopters in the United Arab Emirates in Q1 2026.

According to a Fox News report, Livelsberger rented the all-electric pickup through Turo while on leave from his Special Forces unit. He filled the rented Cybertruck with fireworks, gas cans, and camping fuel before driving it to the hotel shortly after 8:40 a.m. on January 1. Surveillance footage showed him pouring accelerant into the truck bed moments before detonation, confirming premeditation.

Welcome to the future of policing,

The Tesla Cybertruck is a police car. On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on Tuesday officially unveiled what it calls "the nation's first fully operational Cybertruck patrol fleet." A police department in Southern California bought one of the funky trucks last year, but as far as we can tell, the Las Vegas PD is the first to have several. And of course it had to be Vegas, where subtlety goes to die.

The most I've ever heard of a car being recalled is probably 2014 Jeep Cherokee, or the 2021 Chevy Silverado. Both cars (if I'm not mistaken), were famous for hitting as many as 7-9 recalls, but Tesla 's Cybertruck is cruising past that number with its 12th recall since the car began rolling out to customers in November 2023. Issued just today, this latest round of recalls affects 6,197 vehicles, about 10 percent of all Cybertrucks sold.

Ispot him from across the parking lot at the indian Meadow Service Plaza in West Unity, Ohio. In the oppressive heat, his Tesla Cybertruck blends into the scenery, its shiny wrap shimmering in the sun like an oil slick. Clad in a bright-yellow T-shirt reading "DUCATI," he appears to be genuflecting to his vehicle, as if pledging it fealty. When I look again, I realize he is doing squats in front of the Cybertruck's windshield camera.

In 2023, Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised that his EV maker's upcoming Cybertruck would sell like hotcakes, delivering between 250,000 and 500,000 units per year once the company hit its stride. But over two years later, Tesla hasn't even gotten close, in yet another instance of Musk vastly overpromising while severely underdelivering. In reality, the carmaker's pickup truck has flopped hard, not even selling 20,000 units this year.
