Nonetheless, the $69,990 Long Range model boasts an impressive 350 miles of range, exceeding the initial estimate of 100 miles at the time of its unveiling.

Notable omissions include the rear power tonneau covering the bed, with the configurator only offering a &#8220;soft tonneau&#8221; for this model. Additional features absent from this version are the adaptive suspension, rear lightbar, backseat screen, and bed outlets, all of which were highly touted at launch.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is $10,000 more affordable than the AWD version and offers an extra 25 miles of range, the $70,000 price point is substantial for a RWD pickup truck with a cloth interior, especially considering that a well-equipped Ford F-150 or an extended-range F-150 Lightning can be purchased for a comparable price.<\/p>\n<p>The Cybertruck has faced significant criticism, and Tesla has failed to deliver on both the promised price and specifications.
