    How come the cybertruck is so cheap?

    I think it will be odd to be at a Tesla dealership and see a basic model Y single motor priced at the current £54,000, and sitting next to it a single motor CT with all the new mentioned upgrades for £30,000.
    Where do you get the £30k price tag for the CT from?
    $39k is just over £30k GBP
    US advertised prices don't have sales tax included.
    UK prices do. £30k+vat is £36k.

    And where do you get the $39k from?

    Pre-order page for Tesla UK gives basically no detail and no timeline, but says you can give Elon £100 if you'd like and you may get a truck of whatever the final spec turns out to be at some point in the future.

    Furthermore, if the $39k is correct, simply adjusting dollar price to sterling at today's exchange rate is not how the car market works.  Look at this example:

    Jaguar UK https://www.jaguar.co.uk/index.html
    iPace from £65k
    FPace from £40k
    EPace from £38k
    XE from £30k
    XF from £34k
    FType from £55k

    Jaguar USA https://www.jaguarusa.com/index.html
    iPace from $70k
    FPace from $50k
    EPace from $40k
    XE from $not listed
    XF from $44k
    FType from $61k
