Tesla Unveils Cybertruck pricing with base model topping $60,000
Tesla (TSLA) - shares slipped lower Thursday after the carmaker unveiled pricing for its Cybertruck, which will cost around $100,000 for the high-end version of the long-delayed vehicle.
Tesla said the price of its cheapest Cybertruck will be $49,890 each, around $10,000 more than CEO Elon Musk had initially indicated when he introduce the truck to investors in 2018. The rear-wheel drive version will become available in 2025 and have an estimated driving range of around 250 miles, according to the Tesla website.
Taking out the $7,500 tax credit linked to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as well as an estimated gas savings of $3,600, the base model Cybertruck will cost $60,990 each.
The all-wheel drive variant, meanwhile, will be priced at $68,890 and available in 2024 while the higher-end Cyberbeast will cost around $99,990 and have a range of 320 miles, according to details posted on the carmaker's website. Removing IRA and gas savings pegs the two models at $79,990 each and $99,990 each, respectively.
Tesla shares closed 1.78% lower on the session at $239.79 each, pegging their six-month gain at around 15.55%.
Tesla has been aggressively cutting the price of its flagship Model 3 sedan and Model Y midsize SUV in key markets worldwide including the U.S. and China as part of that aim, in its effort to entice new buyers and fend off increasing competition in the EV space.
Tesla's third quarter deliveries, while the highest on record, missed Wall Street forecasts when they were published in early October, suggesting at least some demand headwinds linked to China's post-Covid sluggishness and looming recession risks in Europe.
The slowing sales will test Tesla's 2023 strategy, outlined earlier this year by Musk, of focusing on market-share growth at the expense of profit.
Tesla will need to deliver around 477,000 new vehicles over the final three months of the year to meet its stated goal of 1.8 million, but CFRA analyst Garrett Nelson suggests the Cybertruck's installed production capacity should "reassure investors concerned about the ramp-up of the highly-anticipated new model."
Price Momentum
TSLA is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors have been pushing the share price higher, and the stock still appears to have upward momentum. This is a positive sign for the stock's future value.
