I was bummed out to see a sea of cybertrucks in the Tesla lot south of Houston

[CyberLion]

Here in Michigan, I see a CT at least once daily and also see carriers filled with all model Teslas going to Canada via I-69 on a daily basis. I can Imagine there are hundred's being shipped to Mexico as well. They are increasing the CT production this year.
At the Clarkston Tesla Center they had about 14 CT's all sold and waiting to be picked up!
Check tesla's Q3 report, enjoy your CT and RELAX!

As I drove past the Tesla show room on I-45 south of Houston I saw a whole of, really a lot of CTs on the lot (50-75). This is pick-up country down here yet I dont see any CTs in the wild. Should I be worried that they are not catching on here and else where.

Tesla is producing around 2,000 a day and they set them in the lot when they make them. To get them out of the factory so they can make 2,000 more the next day. And so on…

AND here I am anxiously waiting for my VIN in Canada....

 

[sdip2k1]

It’s frustrating- so many of us have ordered and are patiently waiting for fulfillment. It would be great if they could improve their logistics and deliveries. I’m still waiting on my VIN - and clearly the trucks are out there!

How long have you been waiting for your VIN? Im in the same boat.

I can’t go anywhere without seeing another Cybertruck, but I’m in the CT capital of the world lol.

Keep in mind that Tesla builds about 300 trucks per day. If they ship/deliver them at the miraculous speed of 72 hours, then there’s nearly 1000 trucks sitting on lots at any given moment.

Roll into any nearby Ford dealership, I’m sure there’s 50 or more F150s on the lot.

They are building closer to 500 a day at this time.

If sales are really lagging, maybe the price will get discounted..

When I picked up my CT in early June from a high-volume Tesla store in NJ there were two dozen+ sitting in the holding lot. All were sold vehicles awaiting prep and delivery.

It's not surprising now that some stores will have twice that number sitting in lots. Production and sales have both ramped up markedly since June. In fact, we should expect to see lots with 50+ CT's more and more regularly. For a store that's one week of inventory on hand doing seven deliveries a day in a seven day week.

CT's dont show up every day either, they arrive in batches so if you check a lot on the day after they receive their regular delivery of trucks the lot will obviously be more full than otherwise. This is just the ramp. I see oceans of Model 3's and Y's every time as well.

I test drove one at Lawrenceville last week, really nice, currently own a model s and lightning (love both) but may end up switching from lightning to CT in the future

I traded in a Model S Plaid for the CT.

No question the Plaid was quicker, but it was almost unusably quick. The suspension on the CT is far more adjustable for a comparable sporting feel (well, as sporting as a 6,700lb vehicle can get) or put it in 'escalade' mode - comfort, medium ride height, and it can cruise for days.

If your Model S is post 2021 I've got a set of Tesla OEM winter wheels and tires in my garage eating space, used one season - maybe 3,000 miles. Need to take some pics and get them listed but I'm local to Lawrenceville so local pickup is always preferred and will be priced accordingly.

Have never driven a Lightning, but the regular F150 feels quick large and ponderous. Capable, for sure, but it's a lot to drive around everywhere. We picked up a used Model Y to go along with the CT. Similar to your S and potential CT. Either is a fantastic combo IMHO!

The CT isn't going to be a low production vehicle. It isn't rare or collectable, there will be 10s of thousands.....hundreds of thousands all over the country and soon the world. It is a great vehicle, that offers a major shift in design, production techniques and platform. Get used to seeing ALOT of them roaming the great highways.

?‍ CT was the 3rd best selling EV in Q3 what are you talking about.

 

[Bill W.]

Keep in mind that while the gigafactory is ramping up production, the service center staffing has remained the same. This can create a bottleneck that will (hopefully temporarily) slow down deliveries.

 

[CYBRTGR]

As another datapoint, I was at the northwest Tesla service center Saturday where there were 80+ (I counted) CyberTrucks parked side by side in a field. I saw approximately a dozen+ marked Foundation Series. Demand must be down. BTW, I love my Foundation Series CT and I'm a little surprised they might be selling as well as most people thought. If I had to guess, I would say the different design and price might keep some people away.

Yep, the best-selling EV truck in America. It sold about as many as all other EV trucks combined (R1T, Lightning, Silverado, Sierra, Hummer, etc.).

Of all EVs, only Model Y and Model 3 outsold it.

And that was before Tesla lowered the price of entry by a whopping $20K!

They are not producing 2k per day. They've never even produced 2k in a week. Tesla stated they peaked, thus far, at 1400 per week. They would absolutely announce if they hit 2k in a week.

The line only has a capacity of ~125k per year and it's not there, yet.
