Tesla’s highly anticipated Cybertruck, particularly the All-Wheel-Drive configuration, is experiencing significant demand, leading to further extensions of its delivery timeline. New orders for the All-Wheel-Drive variant are now estimated for April 2027, a notable shift from earlier projections.
Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive Delivery Dates Shift
According to Tesla’s official Online Design Studio, customers placing new orders for the All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck are now looking at an April 2027 delivery window. This represents a substantial pushback from previous estimates.
While existing orders are still slated for delivery in early summer, the updated timeline indicates a robust demand that is outstripping Tesla’s current production capacity or projections for this specific trim.
This development follows a recent adjustment where delivery dates were moved from June 2026 to early Fall. The latest update pushes these dates significantly further into next year.
Indications of High Demand
The repeated postponement of delivery dates for the new Cybertruck trim suggests either a slower-than-anticipated production ramp-up or exceptionally high consumer interest. Given Tesla’s recent actions, particularly its plans to adjust pricing based on demand, the latter appears to be the more dominant factor.
Tesla’s pricing strategy, with an imminent price increase on March 1, further suggests the company perceives strong demand for the current $59,990 price point of the All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck.
Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive Key Features and Pricing
The All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck, offered at the current price, boasts a compelling set of features designed to attract buyers. These include:
- Dual Motor All-Wheel-Drive with an estimated 325-mile range.
- A powered tonneau cover for the truck bed.
- Integrated bed outlets (2x 120V and 1x 240V) with Powershare capability.
- A coil spring suspension system with adaptive damping.
- Heated first-row seats upholstered in an easy-to-clean textile material.
- Advanced steer-by-wire and four-wheel steering systems.
- A 6-foot by 4-foot composite bed.
- A towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds.
- A powered front trunk (frunk).
The current pricing of $59,990 is notably close to the initial price point Tesla revealed for the Cybertruck back in late 2019, making it an attractive offer for many potential buyers.
Price Adjustment Imminent
Tesla has officially communicated that the current price of $59,990 for the Dual Motor All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck will only be available until February 28. This confirmation came via a banner on the company’s website, as noted by industry observers.
Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, had previously indicated that the competitive pricing was a limited-time offer, lasting for ten days. The decision to adjust the price is reportedly contingent on the demand observed during this initial period.
This pricing strategy has drawn mixed reactions from the community. Some argue that announcing a price hike so soon after launch, based on demand, could pressure consumers into making reservations prematurely. Others defend the approach as a logical way to gauge market response and adjust pricing accordingly.
The Premium All-Wheel-Drive configuration is currently priced at $79,990, highlighting a significant jump in cost for enhanced features such as higher towing capacity (up to 11,000 pounds), premium interior materials like Vegan Leather seats, a more extensive sound system (15 speakers compared to 7), and adjustable ride height.
Future Cybertruck Features: Active Noise Cancellation Activation
In addition to production and pricing updates, Tesla is also preparing to activate a long-awaited feature for the Cybertruck: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The company has officially listed this feature on its website, signaling its imminent rollout.
While the hardware for ANC is already present in the Premium All-Wheel-Drive and Cyberbeast trims, which have been delivered since November 2023, the software enabling the feature has not yet been activated. Tesla’s internal documentation, as reported by Not a Tesla App, states, “ANC software is not enabled on Cybertruck even though the hardware is installed.”
The ANC system, similar to that used in the Model S and Model X since 2021, uses microphones to detect and cancel out low-frequency road noise. While the Model S and X utilize six microphones, the Cybertruck is equipped with four.
The delay in activating ANC on the Cybertruck is likely attributed to the vehicle’s unique design and components, such as its all-terrain tires and aluminum chassis, which may present unique acoustic challenges compared to Tesla’s sedan and SUV models. Notably, this feature will not be available on the recently released Dual Motor All-Wheel-Drive configuration.
Elon Musk Clarifies ’10 Day’ Comment on Cybertruck Pricing
Elon Musk recently provided clarification on his earlier statement regarding the Cybertruck’s ten-day availability at its introductory price. The initial comment had sparked considerable discussion and speculation within the automotive community.
The All-Wheel-Drive Cybertruck was launched at a competitive $59,990, a significant improvement over the earlier Rear-Wheel-Drive variant that faced cancellation due to low demand. Musk’s “just for 10 days” comment initially led to uncertainty about whether the configuration would be discontinued or simply see a price adjustment.
He later confirmed that the price would fluctuate based on the demand observed during this initial period. This transparency, while appreciated by some, has also been a point of contention, with arguments that it might artificially inflate demand as consumers rush to secure the lower price.
While some defend the strategy as a practical method for market analysis, others express concern over the communication style and the limited timeframe given for such a significant purchase. The debate highlights the polarized views on Tesla’s marketing and pricing strategies within its customer base.
