Buckle up, a budget Cybertruck is on the way.
The truck has a starting price of $59,990.
The cheaper Cybertruck comes amid Tesla's drive to make the car more appealing to the working man.
Elon Musk's Tesla is doubling down on its road map to make the Cybertruck less vanity, more working man, with a budget version that's clocking in a little closer to the competition, price-wise.
In an X post on Thursday night, Tesla announced it will roll out its "most affordable Cybertruck yet." It's advertised, per the post, as "tough as nails with ultra-low cost of ownership" starting at $59,990.
The cheapest all-wheel-drive Cybertruck sold for just under $100,000 in 2024. It's now listed starting at $79,990.

While Musk has often positioned the Cybertruck as a competitor to the Ford F-150, at close to $60,000, the Cybertruck is still a premium option. The F-150 starts at $39,330.
The cheaper Cybertruck comes amid Tesla's race to reposition Musk's shiny, silver vehicle as an everyman's car.
The new version of the Cybertruck is now listed in a Tesla comparison chart as the company's "most affordable" Cybertruck. It has a lower towing capacity of 7,500 pounds, down from the 11,000 pounds listed for its "Premium All-Wheel Drive" and "Cyberbeast" versions.
Significant interior differences include heated seats only in the first row, compared to both rows for the premium versions. The cheaper Cybertruck comes with textile seats, unlike the "premium interiors" in more expensive iterations.
Musk once touted the truck as "apocalypse-proof." It's been subjected to recalls, including over its rearview camera, windshield wiper, and reports of jammed accelerator pedals.
The more affordable Cybertruck comes after a year of modest sales for Tesla's electric truck.
Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in the US in 2025, according to data from Cox Automotive released in January — half of its 2024 sales figures. It also falls far short of Musk's 2023 projection that the Cybertruck would sell 250,000 units a year.

Nikita Bier said that Elon Musk's X was "essentially operating like a startup."

Want to work for one of Elon Musk's companies? Expect small, flat teams.
X product head Nikita Bier compared his experience at X to past jobs at Meta and Discord on the "Out of Office" podcast.
Bier said that Musk holds "weekly reviews" of one or two slides with every X engineer.
One of Elon Musk's lieutenants at X is sharing what it's like to work in the trenches with him.
There are some trademarks of a Musk company, whether it be Tesla, SpaceX, or xAI. His teams are flat, his schedule is jam-packed, and his expectations are high. In the lead-up to a big launch, expect to grind out some long hours.
X's head of product, Nikita Bier, recently opened up about working under Musk on the "Out of Office" podcast, contrasting it with his past work at Silicon Valley staples like Discord and Meta.
Bier described a "very flat organization" with lots of individual contributors reporting directly to Musk himself. There are very few managers, Bier said.
"Everyone has an incredible amount of agency," Bier said. "We come up with an idea, we build it in a week, and it's out."
Bier also said that Musk was "deep in the weeds." That's a feat for an executive who runs multiple companies (and once a government agency) at the same time.
"He does weekly reviews basically with every engineer at the company," Bier said. "You have one or two slides, you present what you got done that week, he gives feedback."
While some social media commenters expressed skepticism that every engineer received a weekly review, Musk is clearly hands-on — as evidenced by another xAI employee's podcast appearance.
Sulaiman Ghori worked on xAI's Macrohard team. He described flat teams, few managers — and a wager between Musk and an employee on how quickly he could set up a rack of GPUs. The employee won himself a Cybertruck. (Ghori, who also talked about the company's "carnival company" permit workaround for building data centers, announced he was no longer at xAI four days after the podcast was published.)
Bier also described a lean but efficient team that had "like 30 core product engineers."
"The size of the engineering team is equivalent to a feature when I worked at Facebook," Bier said. "It's essentially operating like a startup."
On X, one user asked whether these 30 employees were on the product or design team. Bier responded: "Engineers, 2 designers, 1.5 product managers and me."
It's difficult to compare engineering team sizes to the pre-Musk Twitter days — or even discern which "core" team Bier is referencing. After six months of ownership, Musk cut Twitter's staff by 90%. Five hundred engineers remained at the time.
What Bier didn't realize before working with Musk, he said, was that the executive will "always do the hard things." Consumer product builders are often looking for quick wins, Bier said. Musk chooses the most important — and difficult — thing to do, he said, from rebuilding the algorithm to building data centers.
That also means: Don't expect a lazy Friday at X.
"Every morning, every day, there's a new crisis," Bier said. "I'll just open my phone and be like: 'Oh my god.'"
