This about the price of the F-150 Lightning. The Ford Lightning starts with a based MSRP at $62,995 with 240 miles of range.

The lowest priced Tesla cybertruck is priced below the base Rivian R1T ($71000) and about the level of the low end Ford F-150 Lightning.

    • Problem was fixed months ago, they did a recall. They changed to a (hopefully) better adhesive, and also added a stud & nut. The old adhesive got brittle from very cold temps, only time will tell if the problem has been resolved.

  2. wow. With all those things removed, I would’ve expected $59,990. Making it 52,490 after the tax credit, it would’ve sold great at that price. Maybe Tesla is struggling to find ways to shrink manufacturing costs on it?

  3. The Cybertuck is becoming the Delorean of Trucks.
    It was designed as an urban truck for people to use on weekend excursions and for small contractors to haul light loads around and use as a mobile generator.
    As an urban truck it is too expensive.

    See ‘WhistlinDiesel Cybertruck Durability Test #1’ at 5:53 for why it fails to be REAL truck.

  4. Tax credits for EV should stop now.

    FYI, electricity prices in PJM are high enough now (gas prices?, demand?, back room dealings?) such that the “Inflation Reduction Act” production tax credit (subsidy) is no longer projected to provide subsidy to generators (in PJM).

    No, that’s the MSRP of the Ford Lightning. Remember, the Lightning is eligible for the $7500 tax credit too! All things considered, that means that the Cybertruck is about $7000 more than a Lighting. Within the same ballpark, but still quite a bit more expensive.
