Tesla Cybertruck has been delivering to customers now for about a year, all with one major thing missing, Tax Credit. All Tesla vehicles today that meet the MSRP caps for their category, qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. That excluded the Cybertruck, until this morning.
On fueleconomy.gov website we had an update to the list of qualified vehicles, which now includes the Cybertruck qualifying for the full $7,500 EV tax credit. This tax credit is huge as many people have been holding out knowing that it was coming at some point in the near future.
Why did Tesla not certify the 2024 Cybertruck for the $7,500 EV Tax credit? Well, I have my opinion and it likely has something to do with selling the remaining Foundation Series Cybertrucks, which come with a $20k markup. That is not confirmed and no one knows the real reason outside of Tesla.
That all doesn't matter now as the Cybertruck is fully qualified for the EV tax credit bringing down the price of the revolutionary electric truck significantly. If you include the available referral credit of $1k and the Military Program of $1k, you would be able to get the Cybertruck from $70,490, nearly $10k less than the MSRP, and nearly $30k less than the Foundation Series.
There is one more little bit of detail here that is worth discussing, and it is that the RWD Cybertruck is also listed on the website, meaning that Tesla has certified this variant. The option to order this trimmed down version does not yet show up on Tesla's website, but it is our first indication of the RWD Cybertruck being on the horizon.
If nothing changes with prices at official launch, the RWD will come in at $60,990, have 250 miles of range and 0-60 of 6.5 seconds. Not much else is known about the cheapest Cybertruck, and it is likely we will see many of the features we have in the existing AWD and Cyberbeast stripped out to accommodate the $19k price difference.
We will be watching closely as the RWD Cybertruck potentially launches this quarter and report on the details as soon as they are available. One thing is for certain, 2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for Tesla.
