Tesla's most affordable Cybertruck gets scrapped after a whopping five months


You won't be able to find the rear-wheel drive trim of the Cybertruck on Tesla's website that started at $69,990.

Along with an elevated price tag, Tesla removed several features, including the power tonneau cover, adaptive suspension, a touchscreen for the back row, the rear lightbar and outlets in the truck bed. While unrelated, the federal tax credit for EV buyers in the US is coming to a close at the end of the month, making the purchase of a Long Range model even less of a bargain. Tesla didn't officially offer any explanation about the removal of the Long Range option from its website, but it could be attributed to low Cybertruck sales overall.
