Tesla reduces Cybertruck price by US$ 20 with new entry-level version; see what changes

Tesla has adjusted its commercial strategy in the United States by launching a new entry-level version for the Cybertruck electric pickup. Equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD), the unprecedented configuration hits the market for US$ 59.990 (about R$ 342.000). The amount represents a drastic reduction of US$ 20 thousand compared to the previous catalog, evidencing an offensive by Elon Musk’s automaker to leverage sales. The target now is the consumer focused on cost-benefit and robustness, to the detriment of luxury.

The movement surprised the sector, but follows the logic of the consumption pyramid: after serving the so-called “early adopters” (willing to pay dearly for top-of-the-line versions), the brand adjusts the portfolio to gain volume and try to mitigate the failure of sales of the pickup compared to the initial projections.

Maintained performance and technical simplifications

Despite the significant cut in the final price, the essence of the Cybertruck was preserved. The pickup maintains acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in a quick 4.1 seconds and an estimated range of 523 kilometers on a charge. The technological core of the utility also remains intact, housing the large 18.5-inch central screen and compatibility with the company’s fast charging network.

The cheapening was made possible through a punctual cut in convenience items. The sophisticated air suspension, standard on the more expensive models, for example, was replaced by a traditional set of coil springs with adaptive damping.

In the cabin, the premium finish gave way to fabric-covered seats and a simplified sound system, with fewer speakers. To close the account, Tesla also removed the motorized cover from the bed and the entertainment screen facing the passengers in the second row.
