"Rolling the variant out at a price of $69,990, only $10,000 less than that of the All-Wheel-Drive configuration. However, it was also void of many other things: Single Motor Textile Seats instead of Leather 7-Speaker Audio System instead of 15-Speakers No Rear Touchscreen No Powered Tonneau Cover for Truck Bed No 120v/240v outlets For $79,990, just $10,000 more, owners could receive all of these premium features, plus a more capable All-Wheel-Drive powertrain,"
"It was simply not enough meat for the price, and demand was evidently low. From those I spoke to, orders were few and far between; people simply found more value in the All-Wheel-Drive configuration based solely on the additional motor. Adding all the premium interior and functionality features made it a no-brainer. In a way, it seems Tesla was overly optimistic about the Rear-Wheel-Drive configuration of the Cybertruck, but even after it was launched, plenty of loyal fans were confused by it:"
Tesla ended production and sale of the Cybertruck Long Range Rear-Wheel-Drive after slow sales and limited orders. The RWD trim launched at $69,990 but omitted key features such as a second motor, leather seats, the 15-speaker audio, a rear touchscreen, powered tonneau cover, and 120v/240v outlets. For $79,990 buyers could obtain those premium items plus an All-Wheel-Drive powertrain, which many buyers preferred. Demand for the cheaper RWD build remained low because the marginal savings did not justify the lost functionality and capability. Fan reaction showed confusion and preference for the AWD configuration.
