Tesla has officially shaken up the electric pickup market this week (February 20, 2026), introducing a more affordable trim and aggressive financing options. The headline news? A new Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive variant starting under $60k, making the Cybertruck a direct threat to mainstream gas and electric rivals alike.
The New Standard: AWD for $59,990
To achieve this new price point, Tesla has streamlined the Cybertruck’s hardware. While it retains its iconic stainless-steel exoskeleton, several premium features have been adjusted:
- Suspension: The sophisticated air suspension has been replaced by coil springs with adaptive dampers.
- Wheels: Now comes standard with 18-inch wheels (down from 20-inch), offering a beefier look and better off-road cushioning.
- Interior & Utility: The cabin features a simplified audio system and omits the rear passenger screen. Towing capacity is rated at 7,500 lbs, compared to the 11,000 lbs found on higher trims.
Performance Specs:
- Range: 325 miles
- 0–60 mph: 4.1 seconds
- Drivetrain: Dual Motor AWD
Financing the Future: Lease, Loan, or Cash?
For American buyers, the new leasing structures are the most compelling part of this update. Here is the breakdown of the official February 2026 pricing for the Dual Motor AWD ($59,990).
1. Leasing (The Most Popular Path)
Tesla is pushing leasing hard, with a $5,000 down payment across all terms. The “Due at Delivery” amount includes the first month’s payment and acquisition fees (approx. $6,395 – $6,542).
| Term | Annual Mileage | Monthly Payment |
| 36 Months | 10,000 miles | $699 |
| 36 Months | 12,000 miles | $715 |
| 36 Months | 15,000 miles | $730 |
| 24 Months | 10,000 miles | $800 |
| 24 Months | 15,000 miles | $847 |
2. Financing (Loan)
For those looking to own, Tesla offers a 3.99% APR for 60 months (for qualified buyers). With $5,000 down, the monthly payment comes in at approximately $1,020.
3. Cash Purchase
- MSRP: $59,990
- Estimated Out-the-Door Price: Between $66,000 and $68,000 once destination fees and state-specific taxes are applied.
Cyberbeast Gets a $15k Price Cut
The flagship Cyberbeast also saw a massive price correction, dropping from $114,990 to $99,990. Note that the previously included “Luxe Package” (which bundled free Supercharging and FSD) is now an optional add-on to keep the base MSRP below the six-figure mark.
Final Thought
With a $699/month lease, the Cybertruck is no longer just a “halo car” for tech enthusiasts. It is now positioned as a practical, financially competitive alternative for the average American truck buyer.
