Source: Drone footage / Tesla — May 11, 2026
The Cybertruck just got a lot more accessible. Drone footage confirmed on May 11 that the new Dual Motor AWD Cybertruck is officially in production at Giga Texas, with a starting price of $59,990. That's roughly $20,000 less than the previous entry point for an all-wheel-drive Cybertruck. Current order holders can expect delivery as early as September 2026. New orders? You're looking at April 2027. If you just placed your deposit — or you're about to — here's what you need, and what you don't.
What Just Happened
For months, the cheapest way into an AWD Cybertruck was the Foundation Series at roughly $80,000. Tesla quietly changed that equation. The new Dual Motor AWD variant enters production at $59,990 — a price point that puts the Cybertruck in the same conversation as a loaded Model Y or a mid-range F-150 Lightning.
Visually, it's nearly identical to the higher trims. Same stainless steel exoskeleton. Same angular bed. Same polarizing presence on the road. The differences are under the skin — less range, slightly slower acceleration, and a few interior trim concessions. For most buyers, those trade-offs are more than fair for a $20K savings.
Drone operators at Giga Texas captured the first units rolling off the line on May 11. Current order holders in the US are seeing estimated delivery windows of September–October 2026. New orders placed today are pushed to April 2027 based on Tesla's most recent delivery estimates.
Why This Matters for New Owners
The $59,990 price point does something the Cybertruck hasn't done before: it opens the door to a mass-market audience. The Foundation Series attracted early adopters and enthusiasts who were willing to pay a premium. The AWD variant will reach a much wider group — people cross-shopping the Cybertruck against a Ranger Raptor, a Tacoma TRD Pro, or a Rivian R1T.
That means two things. First, the accessory market for Cybertruck is about to explode. Second, the accessories that existed for the Foundation Series may not all fit the AWD variant the same way. We've tested and verified the recommendations below for the 2024–2026 Cybertruck platform.
Essential Accessories for Your New Cybertruck AWD
1. All-Weather Floor Mats
The Cybertruck's flat floor is a magnet for mud, gravel, and construction dust. Custom-molded TPE floor mats cover the entire footwell with raised edges that trap debris before it reaches the factory carpet. They're laser-measured for the Cybertruck cabin, so there's no slipping or gap coverage. Pull them out, hose them off, drop them back in. Done.

2. Bed Cover and Tonneau
An open truck bed is fine for hauling lumber. It's terrible for keeping your gear dry, secure, and out of sight. A retractable or folding tonneau cover locks the bed, adds weather protection, and improves aerodynamics enough to nudge your range up slightly. For a truck that lives in urban environments as much as it does on job sites, this is the single most practical upgrade you can make.

3. Center Console and Storage Organizers
The Cybertruck's interior is minimalist to a fault. There's a massive center console, but it's a deep void without structure. A fitted console organizer divides that space into usable compartments — card slots, coin holders, phone rests, and a hidden compartment for valuables. Door pocket organizers fill the same gap on the side panels. If you're daily-driving this truck, you'll wonder how you managed without them after week one.

4. Screen Protector
The 18.5-inch display dominating the Cybertruck dashboard is the largest screen Tesla has ever put in a vehicle. It's also right in the firing line for fingerprints, keys, and elbow strikes when you're reaching across the cabin. A tempered glass screen protector rated at 9H hardness absorbs impacts without affecting touch sensitivity. Anti-glare coatings reduce washout in direct sunlight. For a screen this big and this central to the driving experience, protection isn't optional.

5. LED Interior and Bed Lighting
The Cybertruck's factory interior lighting is functional but dim. LED strip kits for the footwells, under-seat areas, and bed add practical visibility and a custom aesthetic that makes the cabin feel finished rather than sparse. Bed lighting is especially useful — the stock bed light is a single point source that barely reaches the tailgate. A strip light across the bed rail illuminates the full cargo area.

6. Wheel Covers and Hub Caps
The AWD variant ships with standard 18-inch steel wheels that are functional but bland. Aftermarket wheel covers transform the look in minutes — slide-on designs in matte black, carbon fiber pattern, or color-matched finishes give the Cybertruck a finished aesthetic without the cost of new wheels. They also protect the hub area from brake dust and road grime, which matters if you're keeping the truck clean.

7. Exterior Protection
Stainless steel is tough, but it's not invincible. The Cybertruck's flat panels are prone to water spots, fingerprints, and surface scratches that show up under certain lighting. A ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic barrier that makes cleaning easier and reduces the visibility of minor marks. For the front end, PPF (paint protection film) on the hood leading edge and bumper defends against rock chips on highway drives.

The Bottom Line
The Cybertruck AWD at $59,990 is the variant that makes the truck a realistic option for thousands of buyers who were priced out before. If you've placed your order — or you're about to — the accessories above are the ones that make the biggest difference in daily use. Floor mats and a bed cover should be your first purchases. Storage organizers and a screen protector come next. Everything else is quality-of-life. Explore the full Cybertruck collection at Tesevo →
