My guess is they will contact people in order, letting you configure whatever is available at the time (or not).
and estimating how long you’ll wait for a selection

one direction or the other, some folks gonna get out to a decision :ROFLMAO:

It's depressing seeing the early reservationists and their predicted delivery dates. Mine is June of 22. I hope I live long enough for my opportunity and my 2015 Honda Pilot makes it there too. I dread having to make the tough choice of what to do if the Pilot craps out before I get the time to configure email.

One word: "Uber"

Seriously though, depending on how much you drive, it could be cheaper short-term.

Yes, the eclipse will actually happen the day they say it will
As wild as it may seem, there's information available that will give you up to the second, when it will happen at any given spot on the map!

This website has an interactive map that shows the eclipse. You can zoom in and click in your backyard Gus, and it will give you a multitude of information about the eclipse. This image is from the location I'm planning to view the eclipse from in Arkansas.

so if i understand this data right, Gus and I will get e.g., ~2:30 seconds of total eclipse, whereas if we were a few miles west in the blue centerline we would get e.g. ~4:30 seconds of total eclipse

My reservation was done less than a min into it. I was 1098 on actual reservation from start. Lot less after adjustments and taking out all the rest of the world. I had conversations with sales and they think I may be around 318 on list for CT. I live an hour from the Austin plant. I expect I will be invited to handoff ceramony in Sept. so I don’t expect anything going to the public before then. Keeping my fingers crossed. Already bought my personal plate for the CT.

Play around with that map by clicking in different locations, and it will make more sense to you. I don't know where you and Gus live, but downtown Austin doesn't even get 2:30 of total eclipse. At the convention center it's only 1:36. When you look at the map it shows an oval darker area that gives you some idea of what the moon's shadow will be. So the closer you get to the edge of that shadow, the shorter the time in total eclipse. You are correct the blue line is the center of the shadow, and the longest time of total eclipse.

Back in early '22 when Tesla announced that Cybertruck would ship in late '23, I picked "August 1st" as my target date. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss that, but the question is: "by how much?"

There's a delivery event tentatively set for September, to which I have not yet been invited lol. I'm a first-day reservation holder but nowhere near the front of the line, so I'm counting on the early builds being offered to local residents, like they did with the Model Y ramp.

So...Halloween? Maybe? Thanksgiving? CHRISTMAS??
You're gonna need a BIGGER Stocking!

Most likely NOT. The law might have changed, but l can't be sure.

How early is your res?! You're lucky to be so close.

We should put our "reservation positions" in our signature at this point lol
Positioned around 75K. But, it helps little if you're in Australia. However, l'm seeing Christmas 2025 as a possible.

Three years and law still not changed.

Shouldn't changing the the law been specified BEFORE the investment made. Can't trust them.

Other states changed and they did not get a giga-factory.
It’s so ridiculous, especially after moving this massive company and creating so many jobs, Texas should be ashamed.

We're plenty ashamed, but this doesn't even make the top 10 lol

Mine should be Q1 next year. If priced 30-40% higher than the launch price, I may get it earlier.
Cybertruck will launch at the launch price. So I'm pretty sure you mean 30-40% higher than the reveal price. Which is just not going to happen and it's not clear why you think it's even in the realm of reasonable possibility.
