Ok, after a long night and 5hrs of sleep, I was able to put it up on youtube. I started a new thread with details and observations along with a link to the video here: https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...tory-site-construction-is-well-underway.1360/Ok, so I couldn't wait until later this weekend and actually went and got some drone footage about 2 hours ago. Let me get the kids to bed and I'll post pics and videos here as well as maybe give it to "torque news" on YouTube as he churns out videos fairly quickly.
My impressions are that after seeing the initial cleared out areas, this factory is going to be amazing as it's clear how they are pedal to the metal getting huge spread out areas that ready for the many different buildings (I'm thinking the visitor and delivery centers) in place as well.
Also of note is that this is a pretty difficult area to get drone footage due to massive power transmission lines running directly by the site and then air restrictions due to ABIA (Austin Bergstrom International Airport) being super close. I use a DJI Mavic Mini which legal to fly pretty much anywhere due to it being under the government weight restrictions, but there are still geo-fences in place when around major airports and it is seems like the southernmost end of the project was a no go and it wouldn't let me go further. I'll provide more details with my next post that will have the footage. I'll probably start a new thread with it as a heads up.
Yeeeeehaw!
That would be a great way to pick up the CT but Elon has said that the destination fee stays even if you pick up at the factory. To me, if that's the case, they should have to include that in the price of the vehicle. It's to make the vehicle SEEM less expensive than it is and if it's a required expense, it should be in the price. "Oh, that Cybertruck? It's only $20,000... unless you want motors, batteries, windshield, delivery fee, windows, seats, etc...)" If a fee is required of every purchaser, it is no longer a fee but just the price of goods. and THAT is exactly why cable/satellite TV sucks SOOOOOO bad.If I can save a $1200 junk destination fee and get a factory tour then I’m taking a vacation in Austin and picking up my baby.
Thanks for the updated map!view on google earth
All dealers include destination because all manufacturers charge it to the dealer.If I can save a $1200 junk destination fee and get a factory tour then I’m taking a vacation in Austin and picking up my baby.
Will the Cybertruck fit on European Roads? Thought it might have problems in the older countries.Man it would be awesome if I can licence the Cybertruck here in Austria, flying with my Licence Plate to Austin, then making a Road Trip to CA and the from West to East to NY .
I have never been in the US, so that would be a perfect opportunity to visit that country.
There are reasons it's not 'built into' the price of the car. The fee is the 'average' cost to ship a car, in theory. In reality it's a legit profit center for a manufacturer.I have never been in agreement with destination fee charges. It should be built in the price of the car, not added on.
