π UPDATE β May 31, 2026
The first walkaround footage of the $59,990 Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD has surfaced, giving prospective buyers their clearest look yet at the base model before deliveries begin. Popular Tesla commentator @wholemars shared the first video of the vehicle on May 31, followed shortly by @TeslaNewswire posting a dedicated walkaround. The footage confirms the base Cybertruck's exterior appearance ahead of imminent deliveries β no undocumented changes to trim or features have been spotted at this time.
π UPDATE β May 30, 2026
The $59,990 Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD has been spotted in the wild at Tesla's Northlake Delivery Center in North Carolina, giving us our first real look at how Tesla has trimmed the entry-level configuration. Compared to higher trims, this base variant comes equipped with 18-inch Molten wheels, textile seats, and a standard center console β and notably omits the rear display found on pricier models. The on-site pricing observed appears to clock in closer to $59,000, slightly below the previously listed $59,990 MSRP, though this may reflect regional or incentive-adjusted figures. π The deletion of the rear display is an undocumented trim difference not previously confirmed by Tesla, signaling a deliberate cost-cutting distinction between this base AWD variant and the higher-spec Cyberbeast.

π UPDATE β May 27, 2026
Production of the Cybertruck Dual Motor AWD is now actively ramping up at Giga Texas, with deliveries officially expected to begin in June 2026. This confirms the timeline is tightening beyond the initial "within weeks" estimate, giving reservation holders a concrete target month to watch. If you've received a VIN assignment, expect your delivery scheduling window to open very soon.

π UPDATE β May 27, 2026
Production of the "standard" AWD Cybertruck ($59,990) is now confirmed underway at Giga Texas, corroborating the recent wave of VIN assignments. Aerial observer Joe Tegtmeyer reports that the Giga Texas outbound lot is overflowing with Model Ys, Cybertrucks, and Cybercabs β with the line of finished vehicles extending all the way to the Cybertunnel and beyond. The sorting lanes near the end-of-line (EOL) facility are completely full, signaling a major production ramp. This suggests Dual-Motor AWD Cybertruck deliveries could begin sooner than initially anticipated.

Tesla has officially started assigning VINs to customers who ordered the Cybertruck Dual-Motor AWD at its introductory $59,990 price β a clear signal that first deliveries are imminent. According to Tesla insider Sawyer Merritt, who confirmed the development on May 24, the rollout should begin within the coming weeks.
The Dual-Motor AWD sits below the tri-motor Cyberbeast in Tesla's lineup and brings a 325-mile EPA range, 7,500 lb towing capacity, and a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds. For buyers who locked in the introductory rate, this is the variant that makes the Cybertruck's stainless-steel proposition most accessible β the price climbed $10,000 to $69,990 after the introductory window closed on February 28, 2026.
VIN assignment is the step immediately before Tesla schedules delivery appointments, so customers who ordered at the $59,990 price should watch their Tesla accounts and email closely. Delivery invitations typically follow within days to a few weeks of a VIN being assigned. If you haven't already, it's worth confirming your delivery address and payment method are up to date in the Tesla app to avoid any delays once your appointment window opens.
