Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertruck received a lot of attention but failed to grab a huge market share, thanks to its hefty price tag. But now, Tesla has announced an affordable alternative to the car, which will hopefully make it more accessible to the crowd. Tesla announced this in a X post on Thursday night.
Tesla unveils cheaper Cybertruck model
Tesla has announced a cheaper Cybertruck, which can finally make it more accessible to the general public.
In an X post on February 19, 2026, Thursday, the company posted on Elon Musk-owned platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), about the new vehicle, calling it the “most affordable Cybertruck yet.” Tesla added that the new Cybertruck will come for a starting price of $59,990. This is a significant drop from the previous models. Previously, the cheapest version of this Tesla vehicle cost just under $100,000.
In the new post, Tesla announced, “New version of Cybertruck now available to order in the US. This is our most affordable Cybertruck yet. Tough as nails with ultra-low cost of ownership.”
The company added some notable features to the post. “Starts at $59,990/ Dual Motor AWD w/ est. 325 mi of range/ Powered tonneau cover/ Bed outlets (2x 120V + 1x 240V) & Powershare capability/ Coil springs w/ adaptive damping/ Heated first-row seats w/ textile material that is easy to clean,” the post read. It added, “Steer-by-wire & Four Wheel Steering/ 6’ x 4’ composite bed/ Towing capacity of up to 7,500 lbs/ Powered frunk.”
The post also added a link for ordering.
Users were very interested in this prospect, and many fans commented on the post with questions.
Tesla has also dropped the price of Cyberbeast to $99,990 from $114,990. This price cut will also encourage more buyers going forward.
It is yet to be seen if this move increases Cybertruck’s market share across the globe.
