But, there is a catch.
The Elon Musk-led EV powerhouse is offering Cybertruck reservation holders an opportunity to configure and order what it calls the "Foundation Series" truck.
Only 1,000 units of the limited-edition version of the Cybertruck are available. However, those in California and Texas who manage to be a part of that 1,000 could receive their very own stainless-steel behemoth by the end of this month.
There it is! Cybertruck Foundation series orders have started! FB user Kyle Goldstein who lives in CA said it was sent by a normal email. Price is $120K, range extender is $15,000.

According to Tesla (TSLA) -), the special line of trucks will set buyers back $120,000 and will come "fully optioned," along with additional extras including "limited-edition laser-etched badging, premium accessories, charging equipment with Powershare home backup hardware, all-terrain tires, Full-Self Driving capability, and more."
For reference, the Cybertruck "Cyberbeast" is $99,990, and features 320 miles of range, tri-motor setup capable of 845 horsepower and a 2.6 sec. 0-60 mph time; which will be available in 2024.

The ability to cut the line and get a Cybertruck before anyone else is just one of the gimmicks that the Elon Musk-led automaker has pitched to the long list of reservation holders who have been waiting for nearly four years prior to Tesla's November 30 delivery event.
