Cybertruck: two versions no longer orderable as Tesla faces deposit refunds

Anyone looking to place a new Cybertruck order in the United States now has just one selectable version. In the Tesla configurator checked on 10 November, Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive and Premium All-Wheel Drive still appear with their prices, but their selection controls are disabled. Cyberbeast remains selectable at $109,990.

A displayed price therefore does not necessarily mean a version can be ordered. Dual Motor AWD is listed at $82,490 and Premium AWD at $92,490, without allowing a new configuration for either trim. Cyberbeast, the three-motor all-wheel-drive variant, is the only selectable option on this US ordering page.

This observation concerns new orders through the US configurator, rather than an audit of every vehicle that might be available in inventory. These dollar amounts are not Italian-market prices. No date is given for reopening orders for the two disabled versions.

The narrower offering comes as Tesla prepares to shift the pickup production line toward greater Cybercab output. Musk said Tesla wants to build as many Cybertrucks as possible before the planned shutdown around the middle of 2027, while warning that some deposits will have to be returned. The reduced selection sits within that broader context; the configurator itself does not explain why orders have been suspended or guarantee delivery for customers ordering today.

Deposits to be returned: what we know about outstanding orders

For customers who have already reserved the pickup, the more pressing issue is whether they will receive it at all. In his 9 November statement, Musk said the order rate far exceeds production. Tesla will try to build as many trucks as possible in the roughly eight months before the line shuts down, but will have to return deposits to many people. He did not give a customer count or a refund timetable.

It also remains unclear how Tesla will decide which orders to fulfil, including whether reservation date, trim or other criteria will determine priority. The suggestion that the entry-level Dual Motor AWD faces the greatest risk is a journalistic interpretation, rather than an announced Tesla production policy. Cyberbeast being the only currently selectable trim does not establish that all its orders will be delivered, or that orders for the other two versions have already been cancelled.

This comes within the broader production transition from Cybertruck to Cybercab. The narrower ordering options add uncertainty for customers waiting for the pickup, while leaving open which reservations Tesla will actually fulfil.
