At the Cybertruck unveiling on November 21, 2019, Musk announced a starting price of $39,900 for the electric pickup. That figure stood as the truck's advertised entry price through four years of development. When the Cybertruck reached customers in late 2023, the actual starting price was $60,990 — about $21,000 more than promised.
