In the years since its debut in 2019, Tesla’s Cybertruck reservation list was rumored to have reached two million potential buyers, extending the EV’s backlog for months, but that no longer appears to be the case. The automaker now offers the truck for order on its website, and the wait times have shrunk to just a few weeks, regardless of the buyer’s reservation status.
Though we’re still tens of thousands of dollars away from Tesla’s fabled $40,000 Cybertruck, the company is selling the new, non-Foundation Series truck with a starting price of around $80,000. The now-range-topping Cyberbeast trim starts at just under $94,500. Both variants have an estimated October-November delivery timeline.
Tesla has said that it was working through the reservations quickly, but its move to open the order books surprised some, with buyers taking to Reddit and other forums to say that they expected a lengthy wait, only to be greeted by an email from the automaker telling them that their orders could proceed.
Despite being one of the most, um, polarizing vehicles in recent memory, the Cybertruck has sold surprisingly well. It reportedly doubled sales in the third quarter of this year, making it the third best-selling EV in the country and holding its spot as the best-selling electric pickup in America.
