NEW CYBERTRUCK RWD LONG RANGE – WORTH IT OR TESLA'S $69K TRAP?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses significant disappointment with the new Tesla Cybertruck RWD Long Range variant, deeming it a potential '$69K trap'. While acknowledging the lower price point compared to the AWD version, the reviewer details numerous feature omissions that significantly detract from the value proposition. Key missing features include air suspension, adaptive ride height, rear heated seats, a full speaker system with active noise cancellation, a rear display screen, signature lighting, L-tracks, and a 240V power outlet. The towing capacity is also reduced from 11,000 lbs to 7,500 lbs, and payload is lower. The reviewer argues that the $10,000 price difference is not justified given these substantial cuts. They suggest a price closer to $49,990 would be more appropriate for this stripped-down version. The reviewer speculates Tesla is intentionally pricing it this way to push sales of the more feature-rich AWD model. Ultimately, the reviewer would not consider this RWD variant at its current price and advises potential buyers to opt for the AWD model instead.
