Tesla sells cheaper Model Y in US, scraps Cybertruck extender

techradar.com

Tesla has introduced a more affordable Model Y in the US, while simultaneously abandoning plans for the Cybertruck's promised range extender. The new, cheaper Model Y is a single-motor version priced at $44,990. This comes as Tesla faces declining sales, particularly in Europe and China, and has refunded deposits for the Cybertruck's range-extending battery. The Cybertruck's range extender was meant to boost its range to 500 miles, but the vehicle will now only achieve 320 miles. Tesla is also offering free Full Self-Driving for a year to Cybertruck owners.
