I DONUT Believe the $59,990 Cybertruck Is Staying

Tesla’s $59,990 Cybertruck trim may have grabbed headlines, but between Elon Musk’s clarification about the limited-time pricing and the discontinuation of certain packages, it’s unclear how long this deal will actually last. In this episode, we break down the pricing drama, what it signals about Tesla’s strategy, and how it fits into the broader EV and battery technology landscape.

Show Notes

Kilowatt 682:

In this episode of Kilowatt, we break down the latest Tesla Cybertruck pricing drama, including Elon Musk’s clarification about the now-infamous “10-day” pricing window and the discontinuation of the Cyberbeast Luxe package. We also examine Tesla’s updated FSD terms that suggest pricing and features could change at any time — and what that could mean for customers. Then we shift gears into one of the most exciting developments in EV tech: semi-solid-state and lithium-metal battery production. From FAW’s 1,000+ km battery claim to QuantumScape’s new pilot line and broader industry momentum, solid-state batteries appear to be inching closer to reality. Finally, we highlight encouraging milestones across the battery sector that suggest meaningful progress toward higher energy density, improved safety, and faster charging electric vehicles.

If you’re tracking Tesla pricing strategy or the race toward next-generation EV batteries, this episode delivers clarity and context.
