whatever shareholder consequences you see in the above, compare to shareholder consequences of failing to deliver any CyberTruck, or not for two+ more years

Yep, the stock price has fluctuated quite a bit on what I feel were Cybertruck expectations. Those fluctations varied greatly on Tweets from Elon and talk or lack of talk about the Cybertruck production at various meetings. One example being when they came out and said there weren't going to be any new products released in 2022. The stock took a dump because that meant NO CYBERTRUCK! Words have meaning and shareholders buy and sell on those words sometime.

Setting aside whatever “valid attempt to keep their word” means

What I mean by valid attempt, is for Tesla to try and honor the prices they sold people on in 2019. If they can't do that, they need to show why they aren't honoring what they said they could do.

if there’s PR consequences, fine that’s debatable - but there was no “commitment” by buyers, nor ‘commitment’ by Tesla - people who bang that drum are clueless

I don't appreciate you saying I'm clueless! I said it was a psychological commitment by reservation holders. And if you don't think that putting a deposit of $100, and setting aside buying a different vehicle for many years, waiting for Tesla to produce what they said they could do. Is a commitment.
Then, that's your opinion.
Accordingly, Tesla comes out with a reveal event and shows a vehicle and tells you specs and prices. Then tells people it's $100 to reserve THAT. They should be held accountable for THAT!

apologies: I was intending not to implicate you so much as the person who you appeared to be persuaded by (I can’t see ‘that persons’ posts, but have a pretty good idea ?)

to the extent you were being mislead, I was making a point only about how the 2019 info was neither a buyer’s promise to purchase, nor a Tesla promise to sell

if you feel psychologically harmed, that’s why I said “if there’s PR consequences, fine that’s debatable”

that said, feeling psychologically harmed seems to me to imply that you were mistaken to think there were some promises being exchanged

didn’t mean to make a personal jab at *you*, and apologies it came off tHat way.

I *only* intended some tough live reality that anyone who had a lot of emotion riding in those 2019 specs was being a bit careless with their hearts

I do not mind people in that group having to pay a lot. After all, their insistence on being in the first few thousand is probably part of their business and they will write it off. For me (and I may or may not represent others), a 300-mile tri-motor at $100K is not going to happen.

 

[Gurule92]

I believe the post is 100% legit.

The $99k Tri Motor MSRP doesn’t surprise me.

A Quad Motor large battery pack Rivian R1T starts around $90k. It doesn’t have the superior technology of a Cybertruck such as the 800 volt charging architecture, best in the biz software, RWS, 48-volt electrical system, possible steer by wire, etc.

I have been warning reservation holders to be sitting down when official MSRP’s are revealed. I am expecting a 40% increase over 2019 pricing.

The Cybertruck is loaded with new technology and it will come with a premium price point. Reservation holders need to have a Plan B deposit in place.

This forum will be on ? when official 2024 Cybertruck pricing is announced to the public. Members bitching about Cybertruck pricing will be off the hook.

And what will the forum be doing when you're wrong?

 

[Sirfun]

Its not viable for that either. No way they can justify a 30k increase.

It would be fun to watch that stock tank as the reservations fell.

Sorry but as a stockholder of TSLA that is NOT my idea of fun!
I agree with you though that the stock would tank.

I have thought that you live in some kind of dream world of your own manufacture for some time now. You believe that Tesla can do whatever it wants with no consequences, and you say these things to the people who most desperately want a Cybertruck and for the Cybertruck 'revolution' to succeed, and you completely discount how betrayed 'we' feel. Maybe you should consider a reality where we don't really care what happens to Tesla and the Cybertruck if they do not honor what they 'sold' us to get our reservations in the first place. As long as Tesla is reasonable I will back them. I can assure you that I do not consider a 300-mile tri-motor for $100K reasonable. Maybe Elon was right in the beginning when he said he didn't think they would sell more than 50K Cybertrucks. At this rate it may be less 'and' the stock will tank. Say what you will about me but I am responding on pure emotion right now.

I am wondering why Tesla puts a legal contract/agreement on our account when you say there is no commitment either way. When someone tells me that they will sell me a refrigerator for $2,000 but when they deliver it and say, "oh, we have to collect an additional $500 or we cannot unload the refrigerator" that is called a bait and switch and is very illegal. And yes, I am harmed when that happens. I have no issue with your predictions of what will happen vis-a-vis trims and specs, but I have a huge issue with anyone that tells me how to feel or act when I am being reasonable. Shame on you.

Anonymous reports are worth what you paid for them!

 

[lowtek]

Slow news day?

 

[HaulingAss]

You can’t say that the F150 lighting is expensive at 50K and then the Cybertruck is twice as much.. doesn’t make sense

Where can I buy a new F-150 Lightning for $50K and does it have at least 300 miles of range? What other features does it come with?

I can hardly wait for the answer!

To anyone thinking that Tesla will come out with $98,000 Cybertruck at this upcoming event. I personally hope that if they do that.

1. Tesla promotes it as a NEW separate vehicle from what they announced they were going to produce at the reveal. Like, cvalue13 had mentioned. And Elon has called his a Plaid Cybertruck. Possibly along these lines.

2. Tesla/Elon needs to come out and say what they intend to do for all the people that had reservation on a SPECIFIC Cybertruck. I think this is why at a certain point Tesla changed the reservation page. They knew they had overpromised, and it would be damn near impossible to deliver over a million Cybertrucks on those "promises" (and I use that word lightly). Anyway my point is that on Nov. 30th at the time of this event. IT WILL HAVE BEEN 4 YEARS since over a million people said "That's the vehicle I want" and plopped down their $100. There needs to be some SPLAINING to be done. Otherwise, as many people on this board have mentioned. The stock will TANK!!

If Tesla comes out with a "NEW" version that people can pony up the big bucks for (and possibly pass the line). And they make some real effort to do some damage control to placate the early reservation holders. Then maybe, that might actually be a positive for Tesla and their stock. But this is going to be, walking a tightrope for Tesla. And will be extremely difficult!

Why would it cost more than a Model X now, when it didn't cost more than a Model X at reveal?

-Crissa

Because he like to have aspirational goals of what the price could be. And likes to shock and awe. If he didn't reveal very stunning prices, then there wouldn't be 1 million + "reservations".

I think those launch prices were always to good to be true. But those prices keeps soo many ppl waiting around, hoping. Just like FSD will for sure happen this year. String people along until they can't wait.

I do think he knows the sweet spot for the first 6 months will be around 90k for those of who can afford it...after say 6 months and 20k units...dual comes out at $79,990 to take advantage of the instant rebate. That will hold for a while until they can see the actual demand then drop from there. This is my guess.

that contract does nothing but clarify how it’s NOT a binding agreement

I have a huge issue with anyone that tells me how to feel or act when I am being reasonable. Shame on you.

Call it a personal failing, but I feel that not reading or understanding a disclosure/contract is what is unreasonable

EDIT TO ADD: I had no intent of throwing any strays *your* direction - unintended collateral damage, I suppose

 

[Crimson_Fate]

The only thing that $100 guaranteed was to lock in the price of FSD and a place in line. It did not guarantee the price of the CT. So I have no expectations that the price will be the same as 4 years ago but I also don't expect it to change by more then 10%. Much of the hype has eroded for me so I have no problems walking away.
