That federal credit is also almost certainly to drop sizably by the time real customers get these trucks next year. Tesla has admitted it on their own website with a warning about it.
That probably because some of Tesla’s other vehicles use battery and other components from china.. Cybertruck is not one of those

Well people are citing him as source now. Sawyer Merritt, farzhad, Sean Mitchell

A little skeevy imo
Exactly, but whatever. I'm not out there trying to be a social network star. I have never had twitter and never will. Let them fight for views. I got better things to do with my time!

Does Freddie post on this board or just lurk and scoop up insights? All good either way, I guess...

Fred, are you out there? Say hello... I like Fred; he's not a sycophant and has been blocked by Elon on more than one occasion :ROFLMAO:

there.

is.

no.

500mi.

version.

(for now)

so let's direct the maths outward from that assumption, if we're trying to divine weights, etc.
You say this continuously without source or even implied source. Like you're an authority. Kind of annoying tbh.

you're annoyance seems to spring only from some personal reluctance.

that's on you, not me

and in any event, even if you don't want to be helped, doesn't mean others don't mind being helped

A 5500 lb (or less) Dual Motor CT with 3500 lb cargo capacity is great news.
5500lbs (2500kg) sounds like it's on the light side. But with DM and a 3500lbs (1500kg) payload that would make it pretty fantastic. It's heading into ant territory, maybe those two have something in common afterall? ? lol.
Anything less than 6,000# will have an issue with businesses that want to take Schedule 179 depreciation. And I don’t think that’s GVWR, I think it’s a vehicle “that weighs 6,000# or more” if I recall. We got some financial peeps here that can speak to it better than I. But that’s what I remember.

Genuinely curious, does your understanding come from inference/speculation or do you have a definitive source (though possibly unable to disclose for understandable reasons) that drives the notion there will not be a 500Mi version at release? If the latter, what general direction can you give for those of us closely monitoring this one specific metric? 350Mi? 400Mi?

it's not inference/speculation

but I have allegiances I take seriously (and who lurk here - hi guys!)

Right now, it's Devine intervention that needed! We could go with 'divining rods' to get to the source!

Yeah, it's absolutely stupid of a tax credit. Probably has gotten a nonzero number of Americans killed for oversized SUVs doing jobs a smaller, more capable (and less top-heavy pedestrian crusher) would do cheaper.
