Five years to fulfill all current orders? Nooooo!

[Hoth Skier]

I’m most interested in the idea of everyone gets one, before same accounts can get their second one. Does everyone think that will happen? It makes sense to me, but I could see it either way.

Selfishly, I want to see a delivery event with a person from each state coming to TX to take delivery and drive it home! That’s good marketing. America’s truck!

Does everyone think that will happen?

as far as the range of possibilities:

Interesting discussion on twotter:




Mike - CyberOwners.com


We have no idea what the ramp and delivery process will look like for Cybertruck That said... Model 3 had around 450k reservations (btw, these were $1000 deposits, not $100 that anyone can throw around for the heck of it).

Of those 450k, over 200k were in the first day. Model 3 production started July 2017. It took 6 months to start delivering to non employees. They delivered just 1770 Model 3s in that last six months of 2017.

I had a reservation in the 20,000 range (I stood in line for 3.5 hours to place my deposit, sight unseen). That first car was delivered to me on March 31, 2018. It was VIN 8830. At this point 9,950 Model 3s total had been delivered, in 9 months of production.

By the end of June 2018, they were still delivering to day one reservation holders. At this point they had been in production one year and had delivered a total of 28,390 Model 3s, just over 1/10 of the day one reservations.

In July 2018, one year after production start, Tesla opened up ordering to everyone, INCLUDING people who didn't even reserve a Model 3! The reservation only mattered for those day one, pre reveal reservations, and even that, just barely made a difference.

I stood in line and was one of the first 20k and only got my car 5 months before people who didn't even reserve one. Cybertruck will likely be a little different, but you just never know if your place in line will mean anything at all.

I don't see how they can justify only delivering one of a multi-CT order.

But in saying that, could you even order more than one in a single order at all? Didn't you have to do it one at a time on the website? I can't remember seeing a "number of vehicles you wish to purchase" option.

If so then nobody is really getting pushed back in the que, that wasn't already late at ordering in the first place. Besides, how would you justify a fleet buyer not getting there's first, especially considering they drive the most miles and would have the best environmental and financial benefit from it?

Multiple orders have more likelihood of being flippers.

My question was if you could place an single order for more than one CT.

I have multiple CT reservations and I support the idea of everyone with a reservation gets one, before same accounts can get their second one.

To see genuine interest vs a PR stunt. Make it $1000. If you can't afford a $1000 deposit then that is likely and indication you should not being getting a early-adopter brand new truck.

Patience, grasshopper.

In the not-too-distant future, and emphasize what @Regenshire previously stated, your desire for people to prove their financial interest will occur once those thousands and thousands of config emails are sent, in which people will have to put down a few grand to secure their Cybertruck. This will trim the reservation numbers down and Tesla will adjust production as required.

I think over time Tesla knows how to produce its new cars and with its experience will do the right thing like other cars made, ramping up its manufacturing even faster and easier than everyone thinks.
We all know that speculation is all the rage these days, and often for the wrong reasons with people who are never satisfied with whatever we do and people who are positive, who bring up various comments just to talk for the sake of it!!!!
Wait and see !!! ?

OK, Elon, calm down. (We all know you are Elon, just pretending to be one of the crowd, to keep your finger on the pulse of the people).

 

[COLAB]

HaHaHaHa ! Nice try but you are in the field !

?

 

[SlegMD]

People wanting to change the cue protocol are probably closer around 1.7 million. Lmao.

 

[firsttruck]

My question was if you could place an single order for more than one CT.

No. There was no quantity field on the reservation page. I remember specifically checking for a quantity field and could not find one.

I have reservations on both Tesla U.S. (for U.S. delivery address) and Tesla Mexico (for Mexico delivery address) and neither had a quantity field so each of my reverations is seperate.

 

[FutureBoy]

Huge difference. They guy you reference had the full and complete backing of the government including full access to any materials, locations, people, etc that might be needed to facilitate success. And the competition was seen as a danger the likes of which could end up blowing up everyone they loved including themselves.

The CT effort on the other hand, has had every Tom, Dick, and Harry criticizing in public, government agencies trying to assist the competition, legal woes from many quarters, a pandemic and subsequent response, plus a general level of disbelief in the air.

I'd say Tesla has done a pretty remarkable job overall. Perhaps in the grand scheme of things they were a bit over-exuberant in their initial timeline which resulted in a bit premature initial announcement. But other than that, I'd say its been an admirable job so far.

 

[SolarWizard]

Will they allow a single person that has 10-50 reserved early to buy all of them? (I know the “Kilowatts” social has like 50). between people that have cancelled/will cancel, and depending on what they do with the same account buying multiple… might be quicker for us “late to the game” reservations..

But y’all know better than I do… what’s Tesla’s precedent for individuals who reserve a bunch like said above?

If those orders came in before yours they should

Let us not forget, about a year after the CT announcement, the whole friggin world hit the pause button for the better part of two years. And we are just now reaching the two year point of a return to “normal” for most things, and just a year for a few others. I am not aware of a single project that was proposed in 2019 that has met their original schedule. Regardless of you opinion of what should have been done in 2020, it happened. And we aren’t finished with feeling the impacts thereof.
