Tesla Releases Stripped RWD Cybertruck: So Much Worse for Not Much Less Money


To hopefully increase sales (and combat sliding used values), Tesla has finally introduced an entry-level rear-wheel-drive version of the Cybertruck

While the RWD Cybertruck was said to have a starting price of under $40,000 back then (and then around $61,000 last year when it was available to order but never actually entered production), you'll now have to pony up $71,985 for it, including $1,995 destination. That means this new Cybertruck variant is just ten grand cheaper than the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model, and it seems like a major downgrade in basically every way. Inside, the base Cybertruck has cloth upholstery instead of the nicer leather-like material in the other models, and a "standard" center console instead of a "premium" one.
