Overview
The Tesla Cybertruck is dead as the ongoing development costs have far exceeded the original budget. This controversial looking EV truck will not reach the consumers with disappointment and all the pre-orders would be refunded.
Why it is Cancelled?
As already said, the R&D costs exceeded so Tesla had to cancel the Cybertruck. Elon said, “Very sad to say we’ve made the tough decision to cancel our Cybertruck“. This decision was made in the best interest of Tesla and its future. Musk calculated the numbers and finally determined that the current construction of Gigafactory in Austin, Texas will be better suited for only Model Y and Model 3 production.

The Cybertruck and Model Y was assigned to be built at Austin, but with increased demands for Model 3, Musk took this decision. The Cybertruck‘s delayed launch and behind-the-scenes issues had resulted in a much higher price tag than initially announced.

When announced in 2019, Musk promised a base price of $39,900 for the rear-wheel-drive model and adding $10K more you would get the all-wheel-drive model.

Tesla has also increased the Model Y cost with the cheapest Long Range beginning at $62,990 – a $20k increase over the Standard Range.
