Tesla Announces Surprise Price Hike Of Quickest Cybertruck Trim Amid $7,500 EV Credit Deadline, Declining Sales - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

On Thursday, Tesla raised the Cyberbeast trim price from $99,990 to $114,990 overnight on its website, adjusting pricing ahead of the September 30, 2025 federal EV credit deadline.
Tesla made the Luxe Package mandatory on the Cyberbeast, bundling Supervised Full Self-Driving, free unlimited access to the Supercharger Network, premium connectivity, and four-year premium service, driving a $15,000 price increase.
Despite strong ratings, sales data indicate the Cyberbeast offers 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a 320-mile range, NHTSA rated all variants five stars, yet Cox Automotive reports only 4,306 sold in Q2.
Because the Cyberbeast MSRP exceeds $80,000, the $7,500 federal tax credit isn't available for cash purchases, yet IRS guidance allows buyers who contract and pay before Sept 30, 2025 to secure credit, prompting dealers to prepare for a surge.
Tesla's inventory position and trade-in activity suggest challenges with $200 million Cybertruck stock, a class action suit over FSD, and recalls of about 46,000 vehicles earlier this year.

Tesla's top Cybertruck just got even more expensive

Tesla is now bundling its top Cybertruck with a bunch of extras, but those come with a large price hike that cannot be avoided. Tesla calls this the "Luxe Package," and it's only available for the Cyberbeast, which is the Cybertruck's top trim.
