Will probably do this too but remove Autodrive to make up for most of the price difference, will save an additional $150 or so on my monthly payment and can add it later at possible increased cost later if Robotaxi is in the real world yet. Or just re-evaluate this decision a year from now and adjust model choice depending on updated timeline / autodrive situation at that time.
Just hoping the dual motor has an extended range option - cold weather, highway speeds, long distances between charging stations makes 300 marginal. I don't need supercar acceleration or 14000 lbs of tow. Or paying higher insurance and registration fees because of extra MSRP.
That is an excellent question. Because i would think the real most popular configuration by far would be the dual motor with 500+ miles.
Or maybe have extended range as an option for all. It may change between now and then.
Just for the range, I opted for the TriMotor. But...it is a big vehicle to live with every day! I wonder how many really realize the reality of that?
Tesla must be confident they can produce batteries at scale to meet demand. The tri motor testing must also be going well to say they will have it ready for end of 2021.
Time will tell, BUT Tesla has learned from their mistakes & has matured quickly as a HIGH TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, one that has their hands in many highly disruptive cookie jars. Recent examples show, as previously stated by Elon publicly, that all future dates will include some "Sandbagging" built in...
1) GigaFactory China - SANDBAGGED - Ahead of planned schedule!!!
2) Model Y - SANDBAGGED - Ahead of planned schedule!!!
3) Tesla skateboard technology - Tesla WILL license & sell their physical skateboard technology in the future (maybe not too distant) SANDBAGGED
4) The Cybertruck price will start @ ~$49,999 / less than 50K - SANDBAGGED BIG TIME!!! 10K UNDER expectations!!!
4) The Cybertruck will be on schedule - or early - I guarantee this product will definitely be SANDBAGGED!
Hi everyone! Does anyone know how to add a referral code after ordering the Cybertruck? Or do I have to cancel the order and then go back and reorder it again? Thanks! Happy holidays!
