Tesla Sets Deadline for Lower Cybertruck Dual-Motor AWD Price

Price Adjustment Imminent for Cybertruck Trim
The announcement follows comments made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who indicated that the attractive introductory price for the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) Cybertruck would be a limited-time offer. This specific configuration was launched recently with a price tag of $59,990.
The move has generated discussion among enthusiasts and potential buyers. While the new trim offers a compelling package of features, Musk’s statement suggested that this pricing would only last for ten days.
Demand to Influence Future Pricing
Following the initial ten-day period, the subsequent pricing for the Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck is expected to be determined by the demand Tesla observes for this new variant. This pricing strategy has drawn criticism from some consumers who view it as an unusual approach to introducing a new vehicle configuration.
A banner on Tesla’s website explicitly states: “This price will only be available until February 28.” This visual confirmation from the company directly addresses the earlier remarks made by Elon Musk.

Consumer Reactions to Pricing Strategy
Some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with Tesla’s method of unveiling a trim with a specific price, only to adjust it shortly thereafter based on sales performance. This sentiment was amplified by instances where marketing materials may not have clearly indicated the temporary nature of the initial price.
Awful way to treat customers – particularly when they already sent out a marketing email announcing the $59,990 truck…with zero mention of it being a limited-time offer.

Comparing Cybertruck Trims and Features
Industry observers suggest that a potential price increase could range between $5,000 and $10,000, contingent on the order volume received for the Dual Motor AWD model. This contrasts with the Premium All-Wheel-Drive configuration, which is currently priced at $79,990.
Key differences between the Dual Motor AWD and Premium AWD models include towing capacity and interior appointments. The base Dual Motor AWD is rated for towing up to 7,500 pounds, whereas the Premium AWD can handle 11,000 pounds. Interior features also vary, with the Premium trim offering Vegan Leather seats and 15 speakers, compared to textile seats and 7 speakers in the base model.
Furthermore, the Premium trim includes an adjustable ride height, a feature absent in the base Dual Motor AWD. Both configurations, however, are equipped with coil springs and adaptive damping suspension systems.

Tesla Set to Activate Long-Awaited Active Noise Cancellation Feature
Tesla is preparing to enable the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature for the Cybertruck, a capability for which the vehicle’s hardware has been in place since its delivery. The company has recently updated its website, adding ANC to the list of features associated with specific Cybertruck trims.
Published on February 25, 2026, by Joey Klender
Software Update to Unlock Cybertruck’s Quiet Cabin
The activation of the ANC feature, as reported by Not a Tesla App, will soon transform the driving experience for Cybertruck owners. The feature’s inclusion on Tesla’s official feature list suggests an imminent rollout via a software update.
The Premium All-Wheel-Drive and Cyberbeast trims, which have been delivered since November 2023, will receive this enhancement. Although the hardware is present, the ANC functionality has remained dormant until now.
Internal documentation from Tesla’s Service Toolbox explicitly states, “ANC software is not enabled on Cybertruck even though the hardware is installed.” This confirms that the feature is software-dependent.
How Active Noise Cancellation Works
Tesla has utilized a similar ANC system in its Model S and Model X vehicles since 2021. This system employs microphones, typically located in the front headrests, to detect low-frequency road noise within the cabin. By generating opposing sound waves, it effectively cancels out or significantly reduces this noise, thereby creating a quieter interior environment, particularly for front occupants.
While the Model S and Model X use six microphones for noise cancellation, the Cybertruck is equipped with four. This difference may be a factor in the tuning process for the Cybertruck’s ANC system.
Challenges in Cybertruck’s ANC Implementation
The delay in activating ANC for the Cybertruck is likely attributed to its distinctive and unconventional design. Unlike the more conventional architecture of the Model S and Model X, the Cybertruck’s unique construction, including its all-terrain tires and stainless steel exoskeleton, may present unique acoustic challenges that require specific calibration.
It is important to note that this feature will not be available for the recently introduced Dual Motor All-Wheel-Drive configuration, which was launched this past week.

Elon Musk Clarifies Cybertruck Pricing Strategy Amidst Fan Debate
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has provided further clarification regarding his recent statement about the Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive configuration’s availability and pricing. His remarks, initially interpreted in various ways, have sparked considerable discussion and mixed reactions from the Tesla community.

Ten-Day Window for Introductory Pricing
The recent launch of the Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive variant at a competitive price of $59,990 has been met with enthusiasm. This offering represents a significant improvement over the earlier Rear-Wheel-Drive model, which faced low demand and was subsequently discontinued.
However, Musk’s initial comment on X (formerly Twitter) stating, “just for 10 days,” created uncertainty about whether this referred to the trim’s availability or its introductory price. He has since clarified that the price will indeed be adjusted based on market demand.
Depends on how much demand we see at this price level

Community Divided on Pricing Transparency
The decision to announce a potential price change within a short timeframe has divided opinion. Some supporters argue that this approach is a logical business strategy to gauge market response and set appropriate pricing. They believe consumers who appreciate the offer should act quickly.
Case 1: You don’t like it -> don’t buy it.
Case 2 (me): You like it, it’s fits your situation and needs -> you buy it.
Case 3: Complain endlessly for no reason, you weren’t going to get one anyway, but you want people to know you’re mad, for some reason.
Silly netizens.

Conversely, critics contend that announcing a price adjustment so soon after launch, especially without prior clear communication on the website, can be perceived negatively. This strategy, they argue, might pressure potential buyers into making reservations primarily to secure the current price, potentially inflating demand figures artificially.
Alright I’m obviously not the one successful enough to be calling the shots at Tesla and worth almost a trillion dollars
But people were excited about the awesome Cybertruck news and then it got taken away, that’s why people are annoyed. The wording felt more like a threat.… pic.twitter.com/NWVNklcXoJ

It’s how it was communicated.
If it had been stated clearly on the website for everyone to see, everyone would be fine.

The debate highlights a tension between Tesla’s characteristic transparency and established consumer expectations for product launches and pricing stability.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Indicates Short Lifespan for New Cybertruck All-Wheel-Drive Trim
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has indicated that the recently launched All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) configuration of the Cybertruck may have a limited production window. Musk stated that this specific trim would be available for “only the next 10 days,” sparking speculation about its future.

Limited Availability for New Cybertruck Variant
The introduction of the $59,990 Cybertruck AWD trim was seen as a positive development, aiming to boost sales for the polarizing electric pickup. This new configuration offers a competitive range and features, comparable to its higher-tier counterparts, and is priced significantly lower than the Premium trim.
The swift announcement of a short availability period has raised questions, particularly given that Tesla previously discontinued the Rear-Wheel-Drive variant after only a few months due to poor demand. The value proposition of the previous RWD model was questioned, as it offered minimal cost savings over the next trim while lacking substantial features.
Feature Set of the Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD
The specifications for the new Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck include:
- Estimated 325 miles of range
- Powered tonneau cover
- Bed outlets (2x 120V + 1x 240V) and Powershare capability
- Coil springs with adaptive damping suspension
- Heated first-row seats with durable textile material
- Steer-by-wire and Four Wheel Steering systems
- 6’ x 4’ composite bed
- Towing capacity of up to 7,500 lbs
- Powered frunk
Musk’s comment on X reads: “Only for the next 10 days.” This has led to interpretations ranging from a potential price adjustment to the complete discontinuation of the trim.

Speculation Surrounding the Cybertruck’s Future
If the trim’s availability is indeed limited to ten days, it raises questions about Tesla’s strategy, especially in light of recent discussions about the diminishing importance of quarterly delivery metrics. Some analysts suggest this could be a tactic to stimulate short-term sales. The enthusiasm surrounding this particular offering makes its potentially brief lifespan even more perplexing.
There is also speculation that these developments could indicate broader shifts in Tesla’s production strategy. While Musk has reaffirmed the Cybertruck’s place in the company’s lineup, the phasing out of the Model S and Model X programs has fueled theories that Tesla might be prioritizing volume production vehicles that align with its long-term vision, particularly in autonomy.
The decision to potentially offer this new Cybertruck trim for such a short duration, if accurate, represents a significant and puzzling move from Tesla.
