The First Tesla Model S models were not the top of line range models which came later. (Where they never actually built the 40KwH Models S and instead did a software limited 60 variant.) Model S definitely went RWD 1st and then Dual Motor and finally 2021 tri-motor.

Same with Model 3 debuting with LR RWD model 1st. Then LR Dual Motor, then Performance, then short lived Mid-Range, then off-menu Standard Range.(Never making the non-Glass roof and cloth interior 'cheap model's, but they did make a Canadian perma-locked 93/94 mile base Model 3 variant)

Tesla is not the most consistent when it comes to which model debuts. Usually seems to be a mid(common) seller model then they debut performance oriented model. Then fill-in the niche range model trim variants.

With the Cybertruck it may be more of the same or they may lead with Dual Motor variant, because Truck market.

Tesla has pressured the Auto industry as a competitor in an untapped market, rather than cementing themselves as the OEM supplier for 'said' market. This has caused them to have an early lead and yet somehow now also be on the defensive as more automakers make the transition over to BEV.
