The automaker stopped taking orders for the mid-tier Cybertruck Premium AWD a few hours after Musk said that Tesla has a large Cybertruck order backlog to fulfill before production is discontinued. He wrote:
The Tesla Cybertruck order backlog is currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year.
We will add an extra shift to try to get all orders done in time.

Cybertruck’s Increased Pricing
The base Cybertruck RWD orders were already blocked on Tesla’s official online ordering page. Now, both the RWD and AWD Premium trims are disabled for ordering (see screenshot above).
The Tri-Motor Cyberbeast performance-focused electric pickup truck is the most expensive version of the Cybertruck.
Interestingly, the automaker raised the price of the Cyberbeast by $7,500 before blocking the AWD Premium version. The price of the Tesla Cyberbeast was $102,490 and has now jumped to $109,990.
The increased demand for the Cybertruck has resulted in further premium pricing as the product sunsets into the next year.
The base Cybertruck RWD’s last price was $82,490. Tesla stopped taking its orders way before announcing the discontinuation of the vehicle entirely.

Delivery Timelines
Before ordering was blocked, estimated deliveries of the Cybertruck AWD Premium were between January and March 2027 (Q1 2027).
However, the sudden increase in demand has pushed the timelines further. Tesla’s online ordering page shows Cyberbeast deliveries between March and June 20274 (Q1 and Q2 2027).
Increased Cybertruck sales will add a significant number of vehicle deliveries to Tesla’s first two quarters next year. These quarters, especially Q1, are generally slow months for automotive sales. Cybertruck will make up for this gap.
However, in the short term, Tesla will face some difficulties as the Cybertruck was slowly gaining its place in the fast-paced new-energy-vehicle-driven automotive industry.
In another X post, Elon Musk explained more about the reason for Cybertruck’s discontinuation, despite it being a profitable product for Tesla. He wrote:
The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.

This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.
