November 8, 2024 7:27 AM | 1 min read TSLA has opened the option to lease a Cybertruck in the U.S. for as low as $999 a month. What Happened: The All-Wheel Drive variant of the Cybertruck starts at $79,900 in the U.S. while the higher-end Cyberbeast variant starts at $99,990, placing them in the pricier EV segment. However, the company has now opened the option for customers to lease the lower-priced variant of the electric stainless steel truck for three years for an estimated $999 per month. Upon signing, the customer will have to make a down payment of $7,500, in addition to the first month’s payment of $999 and an acquisition fee of $695. Leasing a Cyberbeast variant for 36 months, meanwhile, will cost the customer $1,204 per month. Customers can also avail the option of leasing the vehicle for 2 years for a higher monthly cost. Why It Matters: The Cybertruck is the latest offering from Tesla. The company started delivering the vehicle to customers in the U.S. late in November 2023 and in Mexico and Canada this year. According to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book, Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter in the U.S., trumping EV trucks from rivals including the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T, to become the third best-selling EV behind Model Y and Model 3. Cybertruck production achieved a positive gross margin for the first time in the third quarter. Check out more of Benzinga’s Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link. Read Next:
