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

[IronStation]

The difference is, now we have a delivery date. And instead of quieting down, its like these types of threads have exploded 100x. Its like they know soon they won't be able to speculate anymore, and are trying to do as much speculating now as possible.

@Mini2nut is just as guilty, with his reply above and cute "Dual Motor reservation holders" threads that ive been trying to ignore.. It is infuriating, but i'll go eat some breakfast and maybe feel better.

I agree, I do. It is frustrating but, in the end, we are all just hanging out here waiting for truth and trucks.

Interesting Cybertruck pricing article based on inflation:

clarification though

while these calcs of course relate to inflation, what they’ve done instead is to just look at the increase in MSRP of pickup trucks generally since 2019 - which frankly is a better (but not perfect) proxy

that said, as others have pointed out for a long time, looking from 2019 to 2023 may not be the relevant time frame. For example, it wouldn’t be the relevant time frame if in 2019 Tesla was proving two years out since at that time it planned to come to market two years later.

on the other hand, folks who say that don’t take into account that (A) a compelling price announcement in 2019 requires some bending towards what seem to be compelling 2019 pricing, and (B) in 2019 Tesla’s pricing assumptions almost certainly didn’t capture what happened to the world in 2020/2021

In any event, the basic point of the article is a valid observation: since 2019, the cost of vehicles, especially trucks, has ballooned - the reasons for that can’t be avoided by Resla entirely. Musk has said as much.

To the extent prices have ballooned, none of that tells us whether Tesla’s roll-out plan is for customers to bare that fact, Tesla to bare that fact, or for Tesla to only share that risk somewhat with customers.

which means the article doesn’t give us any good about ultimate pricing, really - so much as one of dozens of considerations surely in Tesla’s pricing strategy

Interesting

30% inflation in the price of an average pickup isn't interesting, it is dumb. Its barely even a statistic. Stop spreading nonsense.

Baldey?

You're breaking your own rules here.

Lol. We just can't help ourselves.

I’d pay around $100K for the specs from reveal night, but with the way things are looking $100K sounds absurd.

I’d bet (metaphorically) that we see

• CT (Dual) 340Mi for $69K
• CT Performance (Tri) 320Mi for $79K

Note: This is pure speculation on my part and if anything possibly on the high side based on EM’s previous commentary

My reservation is for a tri AWD 500 mile range. 320 miles does not work for me. The Chevy gets 450 miles. I am aware the range on the X has dropped from 420 to 330 and you cannot order anything else. You guys in small overpopulated states have no idea of the need for range. 320 miles will not even get me to LA or LV or Seattle or Salt Lake. While there plenty of chargers along the way, who wants to spend an hour in Tonopah? My current gas PU will make that trip without refueling. CT should, too.

suggestion:

*you* could stop trying to be posting police

the admin is posting police

and if they went stopping or deleting posts such as the ones you’re fretting over, this forum would be reduced almost zero content

*you* can block/hide threads you don’t want to see, and members you don’t see

go for it!

I'm thinking that if Tesla was concerned about killing demand with a high price, the first thing they would have done is remove 4-wheel steering.
Since the trucks we've seen so far still have it, maybe they're happy with where their costs are?
I don't think most people would see 4-wheel steering as a necessity.

 

[TacoTuesday]

Just stop.
Stop it. Seriously, please. Stop.
[spreading baseless rumors and giving attention to garbage]
Lock this shit, and give @TacoTuesday a warning. All of you. If you are thinking of posting in this thread again, please.. Don't

Or, Tesla could just tell us what the specs/prices are and stop all this speculation, not just in this thread but many others too

I think it is a necessity…and is a driving force at least for me if I get a CT compared to a Rivian or Hummer

With apologies to the messenger, Mini2nut... That's not how inflation works. Or prices. At all.

If the turning radius would be greater then the 1/2 ton ICE competition, then the 4 wheel steering is a necessity. Since I'm pretty sure the CT has a longer wheelbase, and larger stock tires (that may or may not limit the angle the front wheel have to move, verse the competition)...I think it pretty much necessitates 4 wheel steering.

i would never mute anyone. I am not a mod, and for many good reasons. I am also not trying to police anything, simply a kind request to stop brining attention to this.. lets call is misinformation. A request that i am breaking myself, as @IronStation pointed out. Because i just cant help myself ?

If the CT fails to deliver on certain fronts—whether it's pricing, range, features, or specs—what are your alternatives?

Exactly what EV are you going to go buy as you stomp your feet, red faced, out the door?

Who said it has to be an EV? I need to replace a 1/2 ton size truck. Tesla made a compelling argument at the reveal. If that is not what they can deliver, then I'm happy (not red faced nor stomping) to buy an ICE replacement.

TLDR: I think the frustration, that erupts when bad news (real or imagined) crops up, is because we know this is the only compelling EV truck choice the market will see for the next half decade at minimum.

It's only compelling because of what they revealed 4 years ago. If they revealed a 350 mile truck for $70k I wouldn't even know Cybertruckownersclub.com existed.

There is plenty of suitable ICE competition to replace my F150 when needed. No hard feeling. My stock may take a dump, which I won't be thrilled about, but all I can do hope they are doing what's best for the company.

There's a whole discussion that should be had for Tesla's goals and what is happening with the CT. I think they should be prioritizing the needs/wants of current 1/2 ton truck owners if their goal is to remove those ICE trucks from the roads and convert those owners to EV. It seems to me this would be far more important then selling CTs to new truck owners who are just intrigued by the design of the CT, but who have otherwise managed, and dare I say, even promoted their own smarter way of life without using a full size truck. I'm not discrediting those people, but if they are now going to buy a CT when they have not needed a 1/2 ton truck in the past... is there an argument to be made that their CT purchase is more wasteful than what they need? Even if it is, I personally do not care. I'm just thinking about Teslas goals. And if Tesla is not catering to the current 1/2 ton owners (most popular vehicle in North America that also produces the most pollution) and those ICE half tons stay on the road because Tesla didn't deliver what they said they were going to deliver, and they additionally sell resource heavy CTs to clients that have otherwise lived their life without a vehicle that size...it just seems directly counter to Tesla's environmental goals.

But whatever, I'm just one of the tens of millions currently in a class of low mpg, high pollution drivers out there. Someday someone will make something I find suitable. I thought it was going to be the CT, maybe it will be the RAM in 2025, maybe it won't.

Seeing a lot of overreacting for what, if true, would be the equivalent of a 'Plaid' version. If Tesla is going to price one of the trims aggressively, that would certainly not be the tri.

 

[Diehard]

Ok, but using FSD to drive it over a Cliff is cheating

Now you got me intrigued. Would the car stop at the edge?
