Early delivery of Foundation Series Cybertruck now available to long-term verified TSLA shareholder!

[jerhenderson]

There should be special invites to order non-FS Cybertrucks. That'd be a real treat! Giving people the privilege to buy a marked up version is a little slimy.

That makes no sense.

if the shares are held by a spouse (not in a joint account), they would not qualify.. Unless the spouse has >500 shares and the reservation is in the spouse's name

wow if thats true thats pretty shitty

no class action because tesla has an arbitration agreement and with arbitration agreements you cant proceed with a class action.

Congrats! Now you can dry your tears knowing you are only a couple of months from taking delivery of the greatest Truck out right now….

Can you pass the puffs?

Well, at least I know, by seeing 12 pages of comments in such a short period of time, that my feelings of not loving this new “jump in front of the line” option aren’t shared by me alone. ?

In general, I don’t have an issue with rewarding a specific subset of shareholders. However, Tesla decided to take $1,000 nonrefundable deposits from thousands of people based on clearly announced delivery timeframes (most of us January through March). So, if they had the ability to honor those timeframes and still let this subset of shareholders ahead of us, I have absolutely no issue with that. However, it is very clear at this point that a high number of us that were told we’d receive the vehicle by the end of March will not be getting it (and Tesla, more than anyone else, knows this). This is where I take issue - Tesla has already “sold” dates for delivery and instead of doing their best to honor those dates they are changing the rules and allowing a different group to further push back those that paid for a promised delivery timeframe. I have no issues with Tesla missing timeframes because of production delays, which can happen when creating such a unique vehicle. However, changing the rules of the game after taking customers nonrefundable money - not so cool.

Let’s be honest, the only reason any of us were willing to pay the extra $20K+ was to get early access to the vehicle. At what point are those at the back-end of the FS orders going to be bumping right into the regular orders at $20K less. Then, we’re going to see some really angry people! ?

Final thoughts in my “ode to Tesla”… like others have mentioned, first it was celebrities and influencers, then those with tons of referral points, and now a specific subset of Tesla shareholders. Can we offer votes for the next groups to jump the line? How about a couple of categories that work for me ?. University alumni of Elon! How about Spacex investors (I chose Spacex over Tesla)! How about just being old and ugly (I’m willing to submit photos!)?.

I’m hoping that I’ll find some therapeutic benefits from wasting my time writing crap like this… knowing that it will change absolutely nothing and I’ll still wait in my beleaguered (skipped over) spot in the queue checking the app every thirty minutes to see if I am a chosen one…

Sure enough, it’ll make time go by quicker

Seriously! What about the current and loyal Tesla owners who bought the stock but after 2/21 and took a big hit??

I’m down 26%!

(cue Sting)…”I want my, I want my, I want my Cybertruck!”

“Look at them yo yos, that’s the way you do it….” (cue Bieber, Kardashian, Williams w/Cybertrucks!

TESLA: PLEASE DONT BLACKLIST ME!

For me, I put off replacing my crappy Jeep. I considered a Model Y, but put that off as I thought I was going to be seeing a delivery maybe at the end of this year, perhaps early 2025. Now, I think I won't see anything until late 2025, early 2026 at this rate. Not sure I'd get the ROI on a Model Y after 2 years of ownership and payments. Perhaps I could go with a Model 3 in the interim, less expensive than the Y, but maybe the best bet is just to keep driving this Jeep for another 2 years. oyeeeeee.

Ditto..... so close !!

I bet there are a few people who sold their 500+ shares to financially prepare for their CT. Now they are ineligible to jump the queue.

Tesla has already “sold” dates for delivery and instead of doing their best to honor those dates they are changing the rules and allowing a different group to further push back those that paid for a promised delivery timeframe.

I would add “yet another group”…

AND my recently purchased stock is down, but I still dont qualify??

Next up:

Anyone who buys *FSD on their current Tesla can move up and order a Cybertruck!

*Must be a new purchase of lifetime FSD on a vehicle that has previously not had FSD except for monthly subscriptions. Payment must be made in full by 3/30/2024. Limit 1 per Tesla account. Other terms and conditions may apply.

Letting significant stockholders jump the line at this point just adds to the shitshow carnival atmosphere Tesla has created around the CT. For most of us this stuff got old before it started.

Buying the CT started as an exciting adventure for most of us. The changing specs, pricing, controversial design etc have always been part of the story but why is Tesla unable to roll this thing out without sucking the joy out of it? After all of this I will be permanently biased against Tesla if I don’t get and love the CT. Why Tesla???

Whenever I think the universe is treating me unfairly, I recall a story by a NYC journalist who was running late for an interview, and had everything going wrong; couldn't find his keys, couldn't catch a cab, hitting every red light, etc. Finally he makes it to the destination and jumps into the elevator, only to have the doors stop closing halfway, refusing to budge.

He was standing in the lobby of the World Trade Center north tower. It was September 11, 2001.

I want my Cybertruck, sooner is better, but I'll get the one meant for me, when it's ready to happen. The line-jumpers can be my beta-testers lol

Nah... that actually makes it go slower

 

[M0unt41nm4n]

They're just digging through the list of who's going to overpay for the truck.

*shrug*

*sigh*

Whatevs. I'll wait until depreciation hits you guys and the factory is spun up.

And pretty sure you guys with nonrefundables down are going to get it before these guys.

-Crissa


Uhh... Math?

225*500=112500
177*1500=265500

265500>112500

That's up by $153000 or 236%.

Uhhh... Splits? Did you account for splits? No you did not.
