Tesla SCRAPS its cheapest Cybertruck after just five months
"The futuristic stainless steel pick-up truck was available in three options - with the most affordable starting from $69,990 (around £51,000). But Elon Musk's company has quietly removed this lower-priced model from its website, reportedly due to a lack of interest from buyers. Largely available in North America, Cybertruck is an ultra-resilient all-electric pick-up truck intended to revolutionize long-haul driving. Like something the Terminator would drive, it has an 'ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskeleton' that reduces dents, damage and long-term corrosion."
"But it is in danger of becoming 'one of the all-time biggest flops' as sales are not meeting Elon Musk's original expectations. Already, Cybertruck has faced safety and performance complaints from buyers after it finally appeared on the market in 2023 following numerous delays. Arguably Cybertruck never got off to a great start, as its windows were broken during its unveiling event back in 2019. It was April this year that Tesla tried to herald a fresh wave of Cybertruck sales by launching this cheaper variant, dubbed 'Long Range'."
Tesla removed the $69,990 (£51,000) Cybertruck Long Range variant from its website five months after the model went on sale. The Cybertruck had been offered in three options, with remaining models starting at $79,990 (£58,500) and $114,990 (£84,200). The stripped-down Long Range omitted features such as the rear lightbar, active air suspension, and rear infotainment display. The vehicle features an ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskeleton and targets long-haul driving in North America. The model has faced safety and performance complaints, early unveiling damage, and lower-than-expected sales contributing to the removal.
