🚀 Tesla’s RWD Cybertruck has finally rolled out, but it’s not exactly the game-changer we were all hyped about. Priced at a hefty $69,990, it’s a cool $10K over the original promise and lacks some of the AWD version’s bells and whistles. On the bright side, it boasts an impressive 350 miles of range—100 more than initially touted. 💰 But let’s be real, for a RWD pickup with a cloth interior, that price tag is steep, especially when you can snag a fully loaded Ford F-150 or an extended-range F-150 Lightning for around the same cash.
Missing in action? The rear power tonneau, adaptive suspension, rear lightbar, backseat screen, and bed outlets—features that were once the talk of the town. Tesla’s configurator now only offers a “soft tonneau” for this model. Despite the early buzz and over a million reservations, sales have been underwhelming, with only about 50,000 units sold. And here’s the kicker: Tesla isn’t even accepting trade-ins for the Cybertruck. Ouch.
This move comes at a time when Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk are facing some serious backlash. With the Cybertruck’s polarizing design and now, its watered-down features and inflated price, it’s clear Tesla has some hurdles to overcome. Will the RWD Cybertruck rev up sales, or is it destined to be a costly misstep? Only time will tell.
