[Balthezor]

Sell em. I don't care what they do. The more of CTs on the road the better.

I passed on my reservation, but still have interest in a Cybertruck. I decided to book a test drive, I’m here now there are at least 40 Cybertrucks here, they have a few Foundations, but mostly none Foundations. Every wheel option, interior option, etc. Some may be for delivery, but most have a “Take me home, I’m available” sign on them.

On another note I’m glad I waited I much prefer the Tactical Gray interior and I would stick with the Base All Season wheels.

Demand has clearly come to a standing hault. I’m going to wait this out and see where this goes.

Plenty as well out in Riverside, Ca. Sent the drone over the fence to take a peek when mine went in for service.

Damn, that’s a lot of CT’s sitting in the lot. I counted roughly 54 trucks in the bottom photo.

Wow looks like it’s not just here. I’m betting they will slow production soon and some incentives will come either end of Q4 or at some point in Q1 2025.

It looks like pickup truck drivers are not into EV’s. The earlier post referenced the same for Ford, Chevy, Rivian, and possibly now Tesla.

They will be soon enough when they figure out what they can do. I still have people flooding me anytime I pull into a park to go for a ride on the bike.

I was looking forward to a Cybertruck. I think they are great. My problem was it took so long after reservation that I purchased a different truck out of necessity. At this point I am sitting tight and waiting. My 2500 High Country Duramax will be ready to sell/trade anytime as I put 7000 miles a year on it. Mo hurry at this point.

 

[Mini2nut]

I wonder if current sales will impact the planned production increase in late Q4. Tesla stated their goal was 2500 trucks per week, 125,000 annual production, towards the end of the 2024.

I can almost guarantee some type of Cybertruck sales incentive is coming around for Veterans Day, November 11th. $1k off MSRP, low financing, etc.

It might be time for Tesla to pull the demand lever for the CT.

I’m going to do the same I passed on the Foundation Series and also the current CT model. I think Tesla will have no choice but to lower the price another 20k if they want to sell 250k CT models a year. I give it six months before Elon caves and offers major discounts.

@ElectricT3ch Are you checking "Vehicle details" in the app? My VIN showed up there without notice. It still has my reservation number at the top in the app, but the details has the VIN.

@ChiTownCT I thought I'd see more. Around me, I see Rivians and Lightnings every single day, often times multiple Rivians in a parking lot. I almost never see CTs. Maybe once a month, or once a week at most.

CT sales numbers are good for an electric truck-- they've probably already delivered well over 30k this year. Maybe even 50k by the end of the year. That's more than any other electric truck. But for comparison, the Ford sells over 600,000 F-series trucks every year.

Is it really that pricy at $80k? There's a lot of different models that go into the "F-series", but even if we just look at the most common consumer pickup, the F-150s, there are a ton of trim levels for a crew cab (4 door truck) and many are in the $60k -$100k range. https://www.kbb.com/ford/f150-supercrew-cab/2025/

I think what hurts sales the most are:
#1 It's an electric truck. I just don't think electric trucks make much sense for long-distance towing or hauling. It takes too much time to recharge. It's fine for around-town stuff, but many people aren't ready to spend so much time charging on a long haul. My CT will be in town 95+% of the time and I never tow. So it's fine for me and others, but lots of people tow long distances and they'd prefer ICE and I think that's rational. Far and away, I think this is what limits the adoption of electric trucks. It basically takes range anxiety and increases it massively.

#2 It looks different from other trucks. Lots of people love how regular trucks look. Lots of people like paint. Fewer people dig the look of stainless steel. Not to mention the geometry. For some, the CT is "showy". To me, it's more utilitarian than the curvy, glossy painted trucks that dominate the market. It's in the eye of the beholder, and I recognize that my preference is in the minority.

Maybe a distant third factor is Elon Musk. His activities have made him a polarizing figure and inserted him into discussions of politics. I don't assume that people endorse the political positions of the CEOs of companies that make the products that they buy. But maybe it's a factor in some buying decisions.

I like the approach Tesla is taking with it. Go utilitarian. Don't try to beat the conventional trucks at their own game. Make the most durable body, easy to replace parts, easy to modify. The most durable in-town truck. The engineering is excellent as always. I think there is room for improvement in terms of fit-and-finish, and quality. And it'd be good to keep an eye on ways to improve durability. But maybe the CT can grow to become the best bang-for-the-buck in-town truck for trades and short-haul applications that require power (i.e., more power than a small truck can provide).

Surveys show 75% of truck buyers never, ever tow. Of the 25% who do tow, 1/2 tow less than 100 miles .. ever. Also, most buyers don’t go off road, and most barely use the box. In this context, trucks are basically SUVs. I suspect many buyers are holding back for Cybertruck to be eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. Cybertruck has the potential to become a world best seller in time .. range will improve and costs will come down. Its a no brainer IMHO.

2019 Res holder, no taker here. I took a 45 min. test drive today in a dual motor CT. The Steer by wire is awesome as is most of the driving experience with the notable exceptions of rear vision and cresting a steep hill and having no idea what's in front of you. I'm still not fond of the look but I did enjoy driving the CT.

This Tesla Delivery Center in Northern CA had quite a few Cybertruck's waiting for pickup but mostly they were for sale (immediate delivery). I talked with an employee and he said they are delivering 3-4 per week and confirmed the entire reservation list has been gone through. I told them I was in a holding pattern on the CYbertruck and it needs to be at least $10K cheaper to get sales moving. Even that might not do the trick as the vehicle is so polarizing and the newness has definitely worn off.

Not that it's a bad thing but literally no one took as much as a second glance at this horizontal fridge as I drove it around the hilly/often narrow streets of the smallish town I grew up in. I also drove 20 miles on a fairly busy highway and the wind noise was a bit louder than I expected. In any case, looks be damned I could see myself buying a Cybertruck when and if the price gets to that magic <=$60K number. Honestly, driving my 2018 Model X home from the test drive made me appreciate it (the X) even more so I have no problem waiting and seeing what comes down the pike.

Take a calculator to the nearest Ford dealership. Count the number of unsold vehicles on the lot, multiply by the number of days in the month, divide by 0.69 and then shove the whole thing up your ass because you can’t determine anything about demand by surveying a single location without any other context!

Nailed it…

The Cybertruck will never be a high volume vehicle for Tesla due to its polarized styling and premium price point.

I certainly hope not! I have never really been interested in any high-volume vehicles and I don’t want this to become one.

So, while I challenge the veracity of these “they’re not selling stories,” personally, I am 100% OK if they never sell another Cybertruck from this day forward.

I don’t want any of my cars to be “common.” If these became ubiquitous, I would almost certainly dump mine for something a bit more exclusive/unique.

Tesla is clearly pulling the demand lever for the Model 3 and Model Y. The current headline on the Tesla home page is "0% APR Available" for those two models. And we are still in the first part of the quarter; the promotions typically get better as the quarter winds down.

Through the first three quarters of the year, Tesla sales are down from 2023. However, Tesla's financial guidance (which was reaffirmed in October) calls for slight growth in 2024. To achieve this, they need a blowout, record-setting fourth quarter. The only way this happens is with aggressive promotions.

But that doesn't necessarily mean good deals on the Cybertruck specifically. Tesla needs to deliver about 515,000 vehicles worldwide this quarter to match the total for 2023. For comparison, Cybertruck sales in 3Q were estimated at only 16,692 by KBB.

So even if Cybertruck sales jumped dramatically, it wouldn't move the needle very much. The success or failure of Tesla to match 2023 will come down to the Model 3 and Model Y, which accounted for more than 95% of Tesla deliveries last quarter.

I went foundation series beast and opted for the tactical grey myself when I ordered and took delivery back in Sept. Personally felt like the white on the door just looked too out of place.

Just met a guy with a a tactical grey while charging my CT with a white interior. Considered the grey but went with the white. In my opinion side by side the white pops and looks better, but day to day living I bet the grey is nicer for the reduced glare on the windows (which worsened after tinting). For now I live with my decision and am happy.
