The all-wheel drive version of its Air Pure sedan is going bye-bye, the company announced. Instead, customers will have to settle for AWD version of its Air Touring trim, which is getting a price discount to $85,900 (down from $95,900). The base model Air Pure will now only come in a rear-wheel drive configuration and start at $77,400.
Tesla has a TON of new accessories for its all-new Cybertruck — camp equipment, snow tires, truck stuff, this $55 decal of a broken window — so I was curious how much a top-trim truck (the tri-motor Cyberbeast version) with all the bells and whistles would cost. Because I assume true Tesla fans are going to want to support their favorite struggling billionaire.
The grand total, including all the accessories and Full Self-Driving, comes out to an eye-watering $126,860. That’s even more than the Hummer EV! And about double the average transaction price for a new truck in the US, according to Edmunds. Cyber-gulp!
