Tesla deprived Cybertruck of air suspension and seat ventilation to make the pickup cheaper

The cost of the car is $60 thousand (about 41.5 million rubles at the current exchange rate). It is 20 thousand cheaper than the version that could previously be purchased as a starter.

The new “base” Cybertruck received all-wheel drive, a cruising range of 523 km and a number of features as standard: an electric cargo compartment lid, a PowerShare power system (with two 120V outlets and one 240V), as well as an adaptive spring suspension with a damping control system.

Unlike the previous $80,000 version, the new model lacks air suspension, a rear touch screen for passengers, front seat ventilation, and a premium audio system. Additionally, the pickup’s maximum towing capacity is limited.

Adjusting the model range and prices is a necessary measure. According to Ithome, actual Cybertruck sales were far from the ambitious goals set by Elon Musk. Now 20 thousand cars are sold a year, although the planned annual figure is 250 thousand cars.

Earlier it was reported that the revived Russo-Balt brand promised to reduce prices.
