- Rebelgecko 5y agoI've seen the costs of things made out of steel go up 50-100% over the last year (presumably because of raw material cost). I wouldn't be surprised if there's a McRib[1] factor where Tesla is deprioritizing steel vehicles as long as it's unprofitable to sell them at the Cybertruck's promised price point.
