The cheapest Cybertruck model has disappeared from Teslas website

Mashable - Sun, 09/14/2025 - 19:11

Months after its launch, the least expensive Cybertruck is gone from Tesla's website, EV news site Electrek and others have reported.

The rear-wheel drive vehicle, called the Long Range, started at $69,990. Tesla launched the model back in April. As Engadget noted, it was $10,000 more than the expected price at the time. Tesla removed several features from the Long Range that were present in more expensive models, like active suspension and a back row touchscreen.

Now, the only Cybertruck models that appear on Tesla's website (as of this publication) are the All-Wheel Drive, which starts at $72,490, and the Cyberbeast, which starts at $114,990. Tesla increased the price of the Cyberbeast last month with the mandatory "Luxe Package," including Full Self-Driving, four-year premium service, free and unlimited supercharging, and "premium" connectivity.

Although there's currently no way to order the rear-wheel drive Cybertruck model from Tesla's site, Tesla's AI assistant still shared details about the Long Range Cybertruck with Mashable, and even offered to schedule a test drive. But the link it provided for more details still only offered the All-Wheel Drive and Cyberbeast models.

It's unclear whether Tesla has discontinued the Long Range model or if its removal from the site is temporary. Mashable has reached out to Tesla for comment.

Claude now has memory, but only for certain users

Mashable - Sun, 09/14/2025 - 16:16

Claude introduced memory this week, but only for certain paid users of the AI model.

Days after Anthropic announced that Claude can make spreadsheets and decks, it introduced a memory feature for those on Team and Enterprise plans. The AI model now "remembers you and your team's projects and preferences," Anthropic stated in a blog post released on Thursday.

SEE ALSO: Anthropic launches Claude Chrome extension: How to try it

Claude's memory functionality isn't available for free users or those paying for its individual Pro or Max plans. Anthropic, however, also announced the release of incognito chats (the same idea as Chrome's incognito window), which are available for all users. These chats don't appear in one's conversation history or save to memory.

For users paying for Claude at work, the model now "remembers" professional contexts, including client needs and project details, as well as your team's patterns, like your processes. Claude will also create a separate memory for each project, if you use the projects feature (a "self-contained" workspace with its own chat related to that subject).

Memory has "new safety considerations," according to Anthropic, that are designed to be used for work and avoid archiving sensitive conversations and topics, but the blog post doesn't go into specifics. Anthropic will evaluate and test how the memory function works before expanding it to other users.

For those on the Team and Enterprise plans, Claude memory can be enabled in the app's settings. There, you can see exactly what Claude remembers, according to the blog post, and adjust "memory summaries" to focus on or ignore some details. Enterprise admins can also disable memory for all users under their plan at any time.

Users can also import memory from other AI programs into Claude, or export their Claude memory. Given that Google Gemini and ChatGPT have long had memory — and even expanded the feature over time — this is a step towards Anthropic catching up.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable's parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
