Tesla Begins Base Cybertruck Deliveries This Month

AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla has begun delivering its most affordable Cybertruck, with the $59,990 Dual Motor all-wheel-drive version reaching customers in the second half of June, opening the rugged stainless-steel truck to a much broader pool of buyers.

Owners who locked in orders during the introductory window have started posting confirmed June delivery dates, a milestone for a configuration that drew intense demand from the moment it was announced. The rollout comes as Giga Texas runs hot across its Cybercab and truck lines, with the factory visibly busy in recent weeks.

A More Affordable Truck Arrives

Tesla introduced the Dual Motor AWD trim on February 20 at $59,990, roughly $10,000 less than the rear-wheel-drive model it replaced and the lowest starting price in the Cybertruck's history. The pitch was straightforward: keep the dual-motor capability that buyers wanted, trim the price, and widen the funnel.

The market answered quickly. Demand was strong enough that delivery estimates moved from June to September-October within days of launch, and new orders eventually stretched toward 2027. The customers now taking delivery are the ones who reserved early, and their trucks rolling off transport carriers mark the start of the higher-volume phase Tesla has been building toward.

Demand Outruns Supply

The long wait times are, in their own way, a vote of confidence. A truck that was once a niche curiosity has become a sought-after product with a backlog that reflects genuine pull rather than incentives. Tesla has signaled the configuration is effectively spoken for well into the year, and the company is using its Texas manufacturing base to close the gap between orders and output.

That same Giga Texas ramp underpins Tesla's broader autonomy push, where the purpose-built Cybercab is moving toward launch. Cybertruck deliveries and Cybercab production share the factory's rhythm, and a faster truck cadence is a useful proof point for the plant's capacity.

What Comes Next

For buyers, the immediate story is simple: the cheapest Cybertruck is now a truck you can actually take home, not just a line on an order page. For Tesla, ramping the lower-priced trim is how a halo vehicle becomes a volume product, spreading the truck across more driveways and job sites.

With early reservations converting to deliveries and the factory humming, the second half of 2026 shapes up as the period when the Cybertruck finally scales. Teslarati's look at the busy Giga Texas line is available here, and the trend points toward more trucks, more often, for the rest of the year.
