Tesla Cybertruck's lead engineer, Wes Morrill, addressed the confusion surrounding the recent Foundation Series order page update, shedding light on the availability of different models amid high demand.
Cybertruck Order Page Update Sparks Uncertainty
Particularly among Tesla's detractors, the most recent change to the Cybertruck order page caused a great deal of uncertainty.
In the midst of Tesla's present drive to sell Cybertruck Foundation Series all-electric pickup trucks, the Cybertruck Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) was removed from the updated order page. According to Teslarati, claims abound that the most economical Cybertruck variant has been canceled by Tesla as a result of this.
This is quite improbable, to say the least. At launch, three different versions of the Cybertruck were available: a RWD version starting at $60,990, an AWD Cybertruck starting at $79,990, and a Cyberbeast starting at $99,990 (not including options).
Foundation Series Focuses on AWD and Cyberbeast
Not surprisingly, the Cybertruck's order page only lists the two variants—Cyberbeast and Cybertruck AWD—since these are the only trims that are part of Tesla's Foundation Series run.
A comment from Tesla Cybertruck head engineer Wes Morrill on X gave additional background on the revised order page for the electric pickup truck. The head engineer of Cybertruck said that simplifying the ordering process for existing inventory is one of Tesla's primary goals.
In an X post, Morrill wrote:
As Elon Musk pointed out during the 2024 Cyber Roundup, the Cybertruck's tenure in the Foundation Series will soon come to an end, and starting in Q3 of that year, non-Foundation Series versions of the electric pickup truck will be available.
Foundation Series to Conclude by Late 2024
However, these intentions were quickly altered when Tesla informed customers in communications received shortly after the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that "due to continued high demand, we expect to deliver only the Foundation Series through late 2024."
