<p class="has-drop-cap">Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) has recently changed its Cybertruck lineup significantly, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-stops-taking-orders-cheapest-cybertruck-offers-100000-version-now-2024-08-10/" class="deco-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">discontinuing orders</a> for its cheapest model and raising prices on remaining variants. The move comes as the electric vehicle maker adjusts its strategy in the highly competitive pickup truck market. Meanwhile, despite its <a href="https://tokenist.com/is-now-the-turning-point-for-teslas-2024/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">strong long-term performance</a>, Tesla’s stock continues to face challenges in 2024.</p> 
<h3 id="tesla-increases-base-price-for-the-cybertruck">Tesla Increases Base Price for the Cybertruck</h3> 
<p>Tesla has ceased taking orders for the $61,000 base model Cybertruck, instead prioritizing the $100,000 version for immediate delivery. <br><br>The company has removed the least expensive option from its website and significantly increased prices for remaining models. The dual-motor all-wheel drive variant now starts at $99,990, up from $79,990, while the tri-motor “Cyberbeast” variant has increased to $119,990 from $99,990. These prices represent a substantial jump from the originally projected 2019 starting price of $39,990, with current pricing $39,000 to $60,000 higher than initial estimates.</p> 
<p>The pricing shift suggests that Tesla may be facing lower demand than the initially projected 1 million reservations. By focusing on higher-margin models, the company appears to be prioritizing profitability over mass-market accessibility. <br><br>This strategy could impact Tesla’s ability to reach a broader customer base with the Cybertruck, a key product in its expansion into the pickup truck market. Despite these changes, Tesla still plans to produce 200,000 Cybertrucks annually, underscoring the vehicle’s importance in the company’s product mix.</p>

<p>As of 10:11 AM EDT on the day of reporting, Tesla’s stock was trading at $196.51, down $3.49 or 1.75% from the previous close. The company’s market capitalization stood at $627.72 billion, with a <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/p-e-ratio/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">price-to-earnings ratio</a> of 56.18 and <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" class="deco-link">earnings per share</a> of $3.56.</p>
