2025 Cybertruck - Are they being delivered yet?

[canyoncarver]

My understanding is that


It's a flight and then a 6 hour drive unfortunately. I did the same with my Model Y 1.5 years ago and it had a ton of issues.


When I picked up my Model Y 18 months ago there (after flying in) it had a bunch of issues. They ended up working on it late into the night and dialed it all in. But it was a PITA.

This time at least there's a local svc center.

What issues might there be that I would reject the VIN flat out?

Unfortunately it would just be cosmetic things that you don't believe they can sort out easily or in a reasonable amount of time.

I say cosmetic things because you aren't allowed to drive/test the car before taking possession of it and the delivery centers are terrible at catching mechanical/electronic issues before delivery (and I suspect they are incentivized to deliver as many vehicles as possible each quarter).

When I picked up my MY two years ago it had paint that had dripped from the frame onto the step plate and it had a giant crease in one of the seats.

I opted to accept it anyway, they replaced the step plate and the seat in about an hour at a later appointment so it was not a big deal.

I fully agree!

Stand your ground people and arrive early to fully inspect your vehicle. Also, NEVER take delivery of a vehicle when it's raining as defects are virtually impossible to spot.

We rejected our first Model Y in early 2021 due to a door paint defect. Tesla claimed they would order us a new VIN and we agreed.

It arrived 2 weeks later and I was very suspicious of the quick turnaround time for a fresh VIN.

We went to pick it up and surprise, surprise it was the exact same VIN (I took a photo of VIN plate). They took it to a body shop and had simply repainted the defective door panel. Rejected delivery #2.

I insisted on a fresh VIN from the factory or no sale. It arrived 3-weeks later and was 99% perfect. We finally took delivery and was a trouble free, rattle free, squeak free vehicle for the next 53k miles.

Went to the delivery center today hoping my 50,8xx CT with tactical gray interior and all terrain tire package would be there early.

Sadly it's still on the train but hopefully I get it in a few days.

Interestingly there were two VIN 52xxx vehicles that were built 11/18 already there, not sure how they beat mine. They both had white interior and the all season tires, so perhaps they had to hold my truck and others back for something needed to complete them for transport.

So five days ago they were still building 2024s.

Since I’m on hold and I have about a month, should I wait till 12/1 to pull it and try to get a 2025?

Wow, such good information! I was told they started 2025’s Nov 14!

That’s what I’m doing/waiting for!

If you're not in a rush and not doing FSD transfer and risking that offer expiring...really no harm in waiting. If anything, you're more likely to run into aggressive end-of-quarter discounts or promotions.

I’m hoping for a lower interest rate promo on financing or leasing but slim chance right?

There's no indication that the 2025s get anything other than a different year in the paperwork.

So, from a resale perspective you'd rather have a 2025 even if they are identical?

If you lease vs cash or finance it won't matter... although Tesla might slightly improve lease terms in the last few weeks of the year (gets to be a tough dance to get them built/delivered with only a month in the year left to do it).

My state is dropping their EV tax credit from $5,000 to $3,500 so it wasn't worth it for me to wait until December in the hope of saving another couple thousand bucks and risk having it slip into next year.

I think it was already announced that all sales through the end of the quarter of all models get three months of free supercharging and three months of FSD.

My only issue with waiting, and I bought one last June, is that each day of waiting is one less day of driving a Cybertruck. Normally I never buy new vehicles, but in this case I made an exception and am happy I did. Everything else feels terribly antiquated after driving a Cybertruck.
