They stopped offering the 35k model because most people opted for the SR+ at 38,800

Sure, but it wasn’t available at launch and now it doesn’t exist.

I don’t have much faith in the 40k Cybertruck being widely or readily available based on that. It’s not really a dig at Tesla. Ford makes an F-150 that costs less than $30k, but most sold outside of fleets are higher trims and packed with options.

Because there was never a viable Tesla 35k car that made sense to buy.
