Tesla Discontinues Cybertruck Premium AWD in Canada and U.S., Raises Cyberbeast Price by US$7,500

Tesla has removed the Cybertruck Premium AWD from its online configurator in both Canada and the United States, leaving the top-tier Cyberbeast as the only orderable trim. Alongside the trim reduction, Tesla raised the Cyberbeast's U.S. starting price from US$102,490 to US$109,990 — a US$7,500 increase. Canadian Cyberbeast pricing remains unchanged at C$167,990, according to Drive Tesla Canada's November 10 report.

What changed in the configurator

With the Premium AWD removed, Canadian and U.S. buyers now have a single option: the Cyberbeast, which features the tri-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain producing 845 horsepower and 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds. The base Dual Motor AWD trim was removed from the U.S. configurator earlier in the production wind-down cycle, and the Premium AWD had been available in Canada at C$139,990.

The change follows Tesla's announcement that it will wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas around June or July 2027, repurposing the manufacturing space for the Cybercab robotaxi. CEO Elon Musk has said the company will "have to return deposits for a lot of people" because the order backlog exceeds remaining production capacity.

Why the price hike

The US$7,500 increase on the Cyberbeast appears to reflect reduced production volumes and the loss of economies of scale as the Cybertruck line prepares to shut down. Tesla has already raised Cybertruck prices by up to 9 percent in earlier rounds, and the U.S. tariff exposure on every unit built in Texas and shipped to Canada adds a layer of cost that the C$167,990 Canadian sticker price currently absorbs.

For Canadian buyers with outstanding Premium AWD orders, the discontinuation does not void existing deposits — Tesla will still build and deliver those vehicles before the line shuts down. However, delivery timelines may stretch as the factory prioritizes clearing the backlog before dismantling the assembly line.
