Foundation Series Price Hike

The foundation series, which was initially the only option available in Canada, has seen a price increase. The all-wheel drive variant now costs C$153,990, while the Cyberbeast variant costs C$181,990. This marks a significant price hike from the previous prices of C$137,990 and C$165,990, respectively.

Why It Matters

The price hike on the foundation series Cybertruck comes after Tesla increased prices on its cars in Canada. The company had previously warned that it would hike prices on its cars starting in February, but did not provide a reason. The price hike on the Cybertruck was not expected, and it remains to be seen how customers will respond to the change.
