During Jeep’s 4xe Day event, the brand announced it would introduce four new Jeep EV models by 2025.
Jeep and other American Stelantis-owned brands Dodge and Chrysler have been late to the electric vehicle market. Still, Jeep intends to change that by introducing four new all-electric models by 2025. In their 4xe event, they announced a fully electric Jeep Wagoneer, a Jeep Wrangler-inspired Jeep Recon (an all-new model name), a Europe-based Jeep Avenger (what has been previously teased as a Jeep Jeepster), and a slew of PHEV models that will come to North America.
After hemorrhaging money in paying for carbon credits, primarily in Europe, the American Stelantis brands are now introducing their first all-electric models as part of their 100% EV sales goal for Europe and 50% EV sales goal in the U.S. by 2030.
Jeep Wagoneer S EV
The first model shown in Jeep’s 4xe event was the all-new Jeep Wagoneer S EV. This electric rendition of the now incredibly popular Jeep Wagoneer offers far more angular styling and lighting and a series of aerodynamic upgrades to aid in the vehicle’s efficiency. Most notably, the Jeep Wagoneer EV now adopts a BMW X4 coupe styling as the back window is aggressively slanted, as a wing compliments the rear of the vehicle. Jeep shared a few specs for the Wagoneer S EV; the SUV would have ~400 miles of range (643.738 kilometers), 600 horsepower, and a 0-60 of ~3.5 seconds. No other specifications were released.

Jeep Avenger EV
Jeep’s Avenger, the first of two new model names announced, will be Jeep’s first all-electric offering in Europe and will be available early next year. The Jeep Avenger is the vehicle that has been inaccurately rumored to be the Jeep Jeepster, though it may come to the U.S. under that model name. The small crossover SUV is ideal for the European market and offers a playful look and feel. Similarly to the wagoneer, limited specifications were released, but the vehicle will have ~400 kilometers (248.548 miles) of range.

Jeep Recon EV
Finally, the Jeep Recon is the brand’s new serious all-electric off-roader. Inspired by the Jeep Wrangler, the vehicle has styling reminiscent of the Ford Bronco and Land Rover Discovery. Jeep gave no specifications for this vehicle, but the brand stated that it was focused on maximizing off-road capability, fun, and freedom. If built off of the Jeep Wagoneer EV platform, the vehicle would likely not be capable of the same 400-mile range due to its decreased aerodynamics and more capable suspension setup but could retain the incredible 600 horsepower.

Excitingly, Jeep only showed off three fully electric vehicles that would be introduced by the end of 2024, but they stated that the brand would release four. Some have speculated that the brand may be working on an electric truck model based on their Jeep Gladiator platform.
Overall, this is exciting news for the heritage brand! Jeep is one of a few brands attempting to infuse fun and enjoyment into each vehicle. With electric powertrains, their vehicles can become more fun and cleaner simultaneously, and it is good news that they have recognized this fact.

A Tesla upfitter has offered to take over Cybertruck lines from the company in a last-ditch effort to save the all-electric pickup from being completely canceled in the middle of 2027.
Unplugged Performance, the Hawthorne, California-based Tesla aftermarket specialist, has publicly offered to take over Cybertruck production from Tesla, funding the effort “through a consortium of investors.”
An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands.
We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn.
Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built.
We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond.
Worth a conversation?— UP (@UnpluggedTesla) November 10, 2026
The proposal comes as Tesla prioritizes its Cybercab Robotaxi program and prepares to wind down Cybertruck assembly at Gigafactory Texas around mid-2027.
Founded in 2013 by Ben Schaffer and located adjacent to Tesla’s Design Studio and SpaceX, Unplugged Performance has become a leading provider of premium upgrades for Tesla vehicles, including extensive Cybertruck packages under its UP INVINCIBLE line.
Through its UP.FIT division, the company has also developed purpose-built police and fleet versions of the Cybertruck, including deliveries to agencies such as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
In an X post on Tuesday, Unplugged said:

The arrangement would free Tesla resources and manufacturing capacity for Cybercab while allowing continued production of the stainless-steel pickup and expanded variants. Unplugged Performance indicated it would wait for battery cells after Cybercab needs are met and would generate ongoing revenue for Tesla through licensing and software/network services on the vehicles it produces.
Following strong initial interest, Unplugged Performance posted a follow-up inviting potential investors and strategic partners to email cyber@unpluggedperformance.com. The company clarified that the outreach is solely to gauge interest and does not constitute an offer to sell securities or acceptance of funds at this stage.
The proposal arrives shortly after Elon Musk indicated that Cybertruck production in Texas would be phased out by roughly the middle of 2027 to expand Cybercab output.
Whether Tesla engages with the offer remains to be seen, but the public overture highlights both the aftermarket specialist’s deep experience with the Cybertruck platform and the growing focus on autonomy within Tesla’s manufacturing plans.
Elon Musk said the Tesla Cybercab will perform “a majority of all passenger miles” where it is allowed to operate and that point is “obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain.”
Musk used the point to double down on the company’s decision to ax the cult-favorite Cybertruck, as its production space will be removed and transitioned into additional Cybercab lines. The move has catalyzed a polarizing conversation on whether its right or wrong.
Whatever side you are on — it’s happening.
Dodge ended the Viper.
Audi retired the R8.
Mitsubishi said goodbye to the Lancer Evo.
Ford bid farewell to the Bronco (at one point).
Chevrolet sunset the Camaro.Tesla is ending the Cybertruck. I’m pissed. I’m upset.
Fans of those five automakers mentioned did the same thing. It happens. It sucks. I don’t like it.
But I still love Tesla. I love my Model Y. I hoped to be in a Cybertruck in a little under two years.
I won’t be. But I still won’t put my family in anything else. Too safe. Too advanced. Too much better than everything else.

Regardless, Musk seems to be getting to the point that he is done talking about the choice. At some point, you have to think that this was truly a difficult decision for him and the company as well, and this is not something he took lightly. In fact, he’s probably a little bit disappointed with it, too.
But the point remains that the Cybertruck is gone. Musk’s focus is purely on developing an autonomous platform that the world will utilize for transportation, and he’s telling you that anyone “with eyes and a brain” can see it:
@PalmerLuckey @carlhancock Cybercab will do a majority of all passenger miles in any jurisdiction where it is not prohibited by law.
Obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain.

Tesla is betting that all of its passengers in the future will be okay with not owning their own personal cars and will be fine with ride-hailing for the rest of their lives. Every dinner, every errand, every trip to the airport and transportation thereafter, will all be operated by ride-sharing, and in Tesla’s perfect world, it will happen in a Cybercab.
As of now, Cybercab is only active in Austin, but it has been spotted all over the country with a driver behind the wheel in those prototypes. In Austin, the car has no steering wheel or pedals for people to control the vehicle.
The Cybertruck dilemma is one that has truly come across the entire Tesla community and while it seems to be a great idea to keep it because people love it, the business side of things is steering Musk and Tesla in another direction.
Tesla has slimmed its Cybertruck offerings to offer only its most expensive trim: the Cyberbeast.
After announcing that the Cybertruck would no longer be produced and the company would wind down manufacturing sometime in the middle of 2027, Tesla started to eliminate some of the configurations offered to customers.
Tesla has stopped taking orders for the Cybertruck Premium AWD.
The Cyberbeast is now the only trim you can order, and its price went up $7,500 to $109,990.
Estimated deliveries have also slipped to March–June 2027 as the Giga Texas line heads toward its mid-2027 wind-down. https://t.co/o28epA0ZQl

Now, only one remains: the $109,990 Cyberbeast. This is truly what seems like Tesla’s last effort to deter any remaining orders from coming in: eliminate the cheap trims and leave only the high-dollar vehicle within the lineup of Cybertruck options.
Those who want to take advantage of this last-ditch opportunity to own Tesla’s symbolic pickup have to pay to play.
Tesla says the reason for the wind down is truly because of Cybercab and its importance to the future.
Despite cries for Tesla to continue production of the pickup, Musk says it is too difficult to ramp a high-volume line instead of ending the truck altogether. He also says Cybercab is what will take passengers around for the “majority of all miles in any jurisdiction where it is not prohibited by law.”

Tesla is going all in on autonomy, and that’s never been a secret. But the commitment to a two-door, two-seat Cybercab truly limits people from having options for labor or hobbies. It also limits people from having their entire family in a single car.
Parents with even a single child will be required to take multiple vehicles if Cybercab is truly the only option Tesla plans to have.
Elon Musk keeps justifying Tesla Cybertruck’s cancelation, but it’s confusing
Tesla has stated the Robovan will also be in production eventually, but it still does not seem like the most ideal vehicle to own. It seems like it is geared more toward commercial uses, but Tesla might have something in the pipeline for families.
