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

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-27 00:43:22

The rear-wheel drive trim of the Tesla Cybertruck lasted about five months before it was unceremoniously removed from online sales. The Long Range model represented the most affordable Cybertruck option with its starting price of $69,990, but visitors to Tesla's online configurator can now only choose between the all-wheel drive model that starts at $79,990 and the Cyberbeast trim, which goes for at least $114,990. Tesla launched the Long Range version of the Cybertruck in April, which arrived

Fuel supply is a bottleneck for Starship—here’s how SpaceX will get around it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-16 07:24:52

If SpaceX is going to fly Starships as often as it wants to, it's going to take more than rockets and launch pads. First, there's the sprawling factory that SpaceX has constructed at its Starbase location along the Gulf Coast in South Texas. The building, known as Starfactory, is designed to produce one Starship per day. A couple of miles to the east, SpaceX has built one Starship launch pad and is preparing to activate a second one.

Despite Dismal Sales, Tesla Thinks You’ll Pay More for a Cybertruck

Tesla’s Cybertruck is widely viewed as an “unmitigated” commercial disaster, but that hasn’t stopped the company from deploying a variety of sales gimmicks to try to squeeze just a little more money out of the flop vehicle. This week, Tesla launched a new version of its most expensive Cybertruck variants, known as the “Cyberbeast.” Tesla has marketed the “beast” as its most heavy-duty, high-powered variant, and originally promoted it with a video of the truck towing a Porsche while also racing

YC-backed Oway raises $4M to build a decentralized ‘Uber for freight’

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-01 06:53:52

Thousands of semi trucks that cut across the U.S. highway system each day are harboring a secret: they’re only about half full. That inefficiency represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity. And one that a few companies like Uber Freight and Flock Freight are already chasing as part of broader business models that match truck drivers with companies selling goods.

Truck Putz Tesla's Cybertruck is turning out to be a full-blown disaster.

The US could really use an affordable electric truck

But if anything can get Americans excited, it’s a truck, especially an affordable one. (There was a ton of buzz over the announcement of a bare-bones truck from Bezos-backed Slate Auto earlier this year, for example.) The big question is whether the company can deliver in this environment. One key thing to note here: This is not the first time that there’s been a big splashy truck announcement from Ford that was supposed to change everything.

A Viral Cybertruck Hoax Got So Big, Tesla Had to Break Its Silence

Elon Musk has always wanted the Cybertruck to be the vehicle everyone talks about. After a bizarre video went viral over the weekend, he got his wish, just not in the way he intended. The rumor grew so outlandish and spread so far that Tesla, a company that famously doesn’t have a public relations department, was forced to do something it rarely does: publicly deny it. The incident highlights the Cybertruck’s strange and precarious position. It’s a vehicle so polarizing and so relentlessly hype

Ford’s Secret Weapon to Beat Tesla Is a $30,000 EV Truck

Just as the American EV market braces for a potential collapse, Ford is making a shocking pivot. With federal tax credits set to disappear on September 30 and demand expected to plummet, the automaker is doubling down with an additional $2 billion investment in battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). But it’s doing so with a new strategy borrowed not from its American rivals, but directly from China. The centerpiece of this bet is a new midsize electric pickup with a targeted base price of just $30,0
