The cheapest Model Y right now is $44,990. You have to remove the "gas savings" and other subsidies that individuals may or may not qualify for to see this cash price.
Tesla Model Y:
$39,000 in 2019, the same year the Cybertruck was announced - https://www.reuters.com/article/technology/tesla-unveils-mod...
$31,490 today - https://www.tesla.com/compare
So, a price cut then. From the same company, on the same time horizon.

Even on longer timelines, inflation isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Tesla Model S:
$57,400 in 2009 - https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-motors-sets-new-pri...
$68,490 today - https://www.tesla.com/compare
Thats a 19.32% price increase in one of Tesla's other cars over 15 years, compared to a 52.857% price increase of the Cybetruck in the 5 years between it being announced and today.
