Tesla Ends Premium AWD Orders, Raises Cyberbeast $7,500 to $109,990

The Cybertruck lineup has narrowed to a single configuration. Tesla has stopped taking new orders for the Cybertruck Premium AWD and increased the Cyberbeast’s price by $7,500 to $109,990, leaving the Cyberbeast as the only trim still available to order.

This is the second time in a week that a Cybertruck trim has been removed from the configurator, as the company prepares to end production around mid-2027 to make room for more Cybercabs.

One Trim Left

Last week, Tesla paused orders for the Dual Motor AWD and raised prices on the other two trims. Now the Premium AWD has been removed as well, after it was last listed at $92,490.

The Cyberbeast is up $10,000 since the start of the year, with all of that increase occurring in the past week.

Too Many Orders, Not Enough Time

The changes appear aimed at moderating demand. Musk recently said that “the Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate,” and that Tesla will have to return deposits to a lot of people because it can’t build every truck before the line shuts down.

Tesla is also adding an extra Cybertruck shift to process as much of the backlog as possible before the line is torn down around June or July. Cutting off new Premium AWD orders helps keep the backlog from growing, while the higher Cyberbeast price should both slow new orders for the only remaining trim and make the ones Tesla does receive more profitable.

Musk has also said the Cybertruck is still profitable, and that Tesla is ending it because the factory space and engineering effort are worth more for the Cybercab. With limited production time left, concentrating on the Cyberbeast—the most expensive and profitable Cybertruck—follows that logic.

Tesla hasn’t indicated whether Premium AWD orders will reopen before Cybertruck production ends. With the Dual Motor AWD and Premium AWD both off the configurator, Cyberbeast orders could also be closed as the backlog fills up ahead of next summer.
