Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

This is false information. Send me a link to a Lariat ER in the 50s. I’m buying it.

You are correct. The XLT's are in the 50's and Lariats are 75.

I don't have a reservation number and can have a Cybertruck in my driveway next month. Wait times very rarely increase as a car ages. When have you even ever seen this on a year old model?

The Model Y is the most recent example of wait times increasing a year or more into production.

The Y was released just before covid. That's a different story. So many supply chain hurdles. A Toyota Corolla was hard to acquire during that time. A Nissan Rogue was difficult. Uncontrollable outside influences played a huge role during this time. Anything between 2000-2019?

The last CT trim level to be launched will be the RWD $61k. I think we will see it by summer of 2025.

Where did you get the $61K RWD price from?

The problem from the perspective of someone waiting for better pricing is two-fold:

1) From a cost of manufacturing perspective, it only saves around $5K to delete the front motor of the Dual Motor and make it a RWD.

2) None of the Cybertruck models were announced with four-wheel steering. Removing that could save an estimated $2K on the cost of manufacture and might be necessary to get the price as low as possible.

Back in 2019, I didn't know I wanted four-wheel steering in a truck. Now, six months into my ownership experience, I would never buy a truck without four-wheel steering. In other words, I was dead wrong about the usefulness of FWS. Combined with the high steering ratio enabled by steer-by-wire, it transforms the driving into a magical experience, especially maneuvering at slower speeds. If Tesla de-contented the RWD model to a regular front-wheel only steering, I wouldn't want one.

Who knows how many negative surprises might come with a RWD model? Removing the four-wheel steering would transform the very essence of the truck, all of a sudden it would be no more nimble than any other truck. That "clunkiness" is the reason our F-150 only got used for duties requiring a pickup.

Crazy to hear they have exhausted the whole list in less than ten days.

TorqueNews? Really. Their source is this forum, probably this thread. Probably your posts. ?‍

It's not so much that Ford buyers are not Tesla buyers, it's that an F-150 Lightning is not a Cybertruck.

And Ford has to sell their Lightning at a high price (relative to what you get), they are already losing more money, the more they sell. Selling any volume of the Lightning Pro at $39k would be an economic disaster of epic proportions.

The principle remains the same, regardless of COVID. The wait times for the Model Y kept growing, even as production ramped to the highest volume of any Tesla model. By 2022/2023 people were waiting a year or more to take delivery. Model Y was released in early 2020.

Key words, “Crazy to hear.”

There are a handful of new 22-24 Lariats showing in the 50's. Here is a MY24 recently listed...

With current Cybertruck demand will Tesla leadership reevaluate their plans to ramp up production to 2500 trucks per week?

Duplicate post.

We don't know if there is demand to warrant that. It's a pretty big extra cost to get to that ramp as they have to pay more shifts, more hours, power, etc. The average per week is around 1,085 trucks. I'm sure they are going up and down based on demand.

What was the source for the original number of reservations? Was the "millions of reservations" number published somewhere?

That's hilarious! The MSRP of that particular truck is $79,590. Obviously, they realized they can't sell them for the same price as a Dual Motor Cybertruck, even if it does have all the Lariat lipstick, because it's not half the machine that the Cybertruck is.

Why else do you think they would have lopped $23,000 off the MSRP? And that's before the haggling starts! Dealerships! I'll tell you one thing, it's not because Ford is flooding the market with new ones, it's because they can't rid of the ones they've already made (in small numbers)! With the Cybertruck available, people have figured out that "Ford Tough" doesn't mean what you thought it meant. One stray shopping cart can do thousands in damage. One normal hailstorm can total it. It ain't tough, it's as fragile as a china doll.

I feel sorry for anyone thinking that is a good deal.
