When the long-anticipated Cybertruck was revealed during an event in Austin last month, the specs further cemented Tesla CEO Elon Musk as a man who makes a lot of promises he fails to deliver on, according to some critics.
With so much vitriol from the left directed at Musk, the Cybertruck was bound to generate ideologically motivated criticism, but much of the disappointment stems from Musk’s promises purportedly not lining up with the final product.
After promising a $40,000 truck with a range of 500 miles, the lowest-priced model, which won’t be available until 2025, only has a range of 250 miles and costs nearly $50,000. The lowest-priced model that can be delivered next year costs nearly $70,000.
