Kia is upping the number of pickup truck models it makes, taking it from one to two. Last year, the company announced its plucky Kia Tasman, which it considers a success, despite the polarizing design. And Kia is celebrating by releasing a second pickup: an electric vehicle that, unlike the Tasman, is coming to North America. "Kia plans to introduce an EV pickup truck based on a new EV platform designed for both urban and outdoor use," the company said in a statement last week. "The vehicle wil

Tesla has plenty of Cybertrucks listed on its website, and they’ve got some hefty discounts, including many for about $10,000 off, Electrek reports.

Tesla is reportedly pulling back production of its much-maligned Cybertruck. According to Business Insider, the EV maker has dropped production targets for several Cybertruck lines over the last few months – and is going as far as to move workers from the line entirely at its manufacturing facility in Texas.

Tesla Shows Off Cheaper and Slower Cybertruck That's an Even Worse Deal Nerfed. Bargain Basement Tesla has introduced a cheaper, entry-level Cybertruck — and by all accounts, it's still not looking like a great deal. The new Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) was announced by the EV maker on CEO Elon Musk's X-formerly-Twitter on Thursday evening. But at $69,990 — eye roll, please — before a $7,500 federal tax credit, it's still a considerably expensive option compared to the steep competitio

However, the $69,990 Long Range model will have 350 miles of range, 100 more than Tesla stated when it first unveiled the polarizing pickup EV.

Embattled carmaker Tesla is sitting on almost 2,400 unsold Cybertrucks, worth roughly $200 million. It's a harsh reality check. According to its latest — and eighth — recall issued last month, the carmaker has only sold around 46,000 of the divisive pickup trucks so far, despite a $7,500 tax credit. That's a far cry from the over 1 million pre-orders the company gloated over years ago. And those currently in possession of one are often struggling to get rid of them. As Electrek reports, Tesla
