Wow, I'd be happy just getting my wheel covers, lol!

My CT is at the service center. I just check service update and my wheel covers are on. They are doing all recalls and installing the spare tire which I would happily trade for FREE SUPERCHARGING that these “Johnny come lately” buyers got as an “AWARD” for buying a Cybertruck after we put our money on the table first. You don’t get a bonus in Las Vegas for being the last one to enter the poker tournament!

IT'S "POUND SALT"

The phrase you're referring to is more commonly "pound sand" rather than "pound salt." Here's a brief explanation:

• "Pound sand" is an idiomatic expression used in American English, which essentially means to go away and do something pointless or to stop bothering someone. It's considered somewhat informal or mildly rude, depending on the context.
• "Pound salt" is less common and might be a mishearing or misremembering of "pound sand." However, "pound salt" doesn't carry the same recognition or usage in common language.

To gauge popularity:

• A quick look at Google Ngram Viewer, which charts the frequency of phrases in books over time, shows "pound sand" having a presence while "pound salt" barely registers.
• Search engine queries also tend to show more results and discussions around "pound sand" than "pound salt."

So, if you're looking to use the phrase, "pound sand" would be the more recognized and used expression.

Ok “pound sand” it is but I won’t stop complaining about the injust “incentive” given to these “Johnny come lately” buyers and we got a voucher and overpriced extras. Make it right Elon!

They set a deadline now. Have to take delivery by 1/31 in case anyone has been considering getting another one.

I asked for a trade in value at the service center and they would't give me a value. Caravan was $67,000. I asked the SC to search for a CT with FSC and they said there wasn't any available in the area....but I saw one in Columbus a two hour drive from Cleveland after I got home. I would do it if I could get $88-$90 for my CT less add on's.

Well if your situation allows you could trade in the Caravan and have 2 CTs or buy a new CT now then sell your current one, taking your time with dealers or private buyers to get a good price for it. But selling your current one for $90K and getting a new one by 1/31 would be tough.

It’s a bit funny to me that they’re moving forward with a Launch Series Model Y after this Foundation Series fiasco. Hope the Launch Series is only a small premium because obviously people are willing to wait for regular MSRP.

They also mentioned a Foundation Series Roadster. That one might make more sense since only stupidly rich people will buy that but they’ll also be so rare that anyone buying a used one wont care anyway. They’ll be like the people that buy used high mileage Lamborghinis.

I’m just kidding! [Steps back out of arms reach +30% for safety.]

Price drop is coming after 1/31

I only ordered my CT because I wanted to have one before I was too old to drive. At 50,000 production rate, my wait was nearly 5 years. If I wouldn’t have been duped into believing I was going to have to wait that long and then
offered “early delivery for stock holder” I would have waited. Then I would have FSC. I am a business owner just retired and if I treated my customers this way over the last 49 years I wouldn’t have built up the business that I did. Treat your customers fairly and they will be your customers for life and bring their friends too. Make it right Elon!

I feel vindicated… now this thread can be archived…

Let’s make the dream of justice a reality.

It does feel dishonest to be lied about the pre-order numbers which Elon referenced on earnings calls. The announced backorder convinced me that i would not lose 40k in value by the end of the first year of ownership. You expect depreciation but this is high by any standard.

We accepted and assumed a certain level of issues as early adopters but its getting ridiculous.

My truck is headed back into the service center for issues with regen jerking the car (similar to a standard car when you don't press the clutch correctly). 3rd time for the same issue. The AC sounds like a leaf blower when i turn it on, i've been told that is correct function.

Its my 2nd TESLA, the S is decent, but I'm not sticking with TESLA after this.

I like the truck and design, disappointing that it working out this way.

I hope everyone else has better luck with their truck.
