Rumor: $98900 price for tri-motor Cybertruck??

[Mini2nut]

A $50k Dual Motor is not happening. Add another $20k or so and you will be in the ballpark. Yes, expect a 40% ballpark increase from 2019 reveal prices 4-years ago.

Tesla has a huge Cybertruck reservation list. Tesla can charge pretty much what they want for the first few years because of the insane demand for the product.

if you’d like to take it offline so I can walk you through that document and what it actually says, I’m genuinely happy to do so

and that advice - recognizing this is a super cringy thing for a person to say, but I’m not sure how with brevity to say it better: for this sort of advice, companies bigger than Tesla pay my billable rate of $2,020/hour, because I’m good at it

in case brevity is sufficient: that document explicitly says, despite some flourishes that might befuddle the uninitiated:

(1) you paid $100 for them to fuss with understanding your order and trying to help you get a vehicle you want (because “deposits” in this context are illegal many places)

(2) to the extent the EXACT vehicle you configured in 2019 is ever made, and subject to them being able to re-price that exact vehicle however they wish, THEN they can decide (unilaterally) whether to make it available to you specifically

(3) but, they have zero obligation to ever make that or any other vehicle, at any price, or decide to offer it to you even if they did

(4) in which case, they can decide (unilaterally) whether to offer you some other vehicle, at some other price

(5) and if you ever have a problem with the above, you have to arbitrate it (rather than leave it to a possibly silly-headed jury); and in the unlikely chance you’re found right, you agree that your maximum damages is the $100 you gave them


In other words, that document isn’t conferring upon you any material rights, or upon Tesla any material obligations - that document is in effect YOU agreeing that TESLA don’t owe you anything. It’s worth something in THEIR files, not yours.

But said in a nice way, that won’t too negatively effect marketing

I am glad that you acknowledge it’s a contract and spells out obligation or lack thereof. I never said more.

Now that it's been 24 hours since this post first dropped...does anyone else think it's odd that we haven't heard from or seen any other instances of this?

I mean, surely, someone else with the internet was within the first 500 pre-orders, and would have received this same phone call.

Its one reason I doubt this. We would be unlikely to have a single source if they were contacting non-insider early reservation holders. For past models when orders opened for real customers we would hear multiple confirmations on the same day from others who were asked to place an order.

That’s my instinct, too

then we see a video of a CyberTruck in a crowd, with a hundred phones recording, but all we get is one potato vid in portrait - and I remember that we’re all weirdos and the noormies are at most texting the group text

sounds like a miss reading on your part, then, somehow

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

Which misreading seems a theme:

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

if there’s PR[/feelings] consequences, fine that’s debatable

ultimately, it seems you’re overly emotional about a pickup truck, and projecting onto others your frustrations - while seeing ghosts that aren’t there

How do we get the admins to remove this thread for misinformation? The guy says he got the email while on the call, but no email provided.

Because I'm having too much fun seeing how many people here are more gullible than Charlie Brown getting ready to kick that football Lucy is holding.

So far, I've made three lists:

1) Rational and normal


2) Emotionally weak, but with a brain to counter that weakness


3) Full on gullible

 

[Mini2nut]

Call me gullible, but after reading the post carefully I believe the post is legit.

Pricing falls in line on what I expect the high tech Cybertruck to MSRP for. I also believe the DM will be $20k less expensive, around $79,900.

OK then, you're definitely in category #3!
