  1. Cybertruck hits 500kW charging speed with just unveiled V4 Cabinet!

    Yes though I have (and Kyle Tested on the 70 mph test) the 2024 Gen 1.5 dual motor which still had the 131 kwh large battery but picked up some efficiency gains and came in with 352 miles EPA range. Now with the smaller "large" pack on the Gen 2 it is rated at 330 and the max is at 420. The...
  2. Cybertruck hits 500kW charging speed with just unveiled V4 Cabinet!

    Noting that the 2024 model DM, Large on 21" wheels gets a 70mph range test of 345 mph so with no improvement on the charging curve from 2023 (which is incorrect, there have been gains) would look like this And with Silverado for good measure.
  3. Is Cybertruck demand dwindling?

    I keep reading variations of this comment and I do not think the data supports it. The top 1% of households has a net worth of $11 million or more and the top 2% have a net worth of $2.7 million. So having a couple of $100k vehicles in your garage requires how much in net assets (I know it will...
  4. High insurance price may cause me to cancel order

    In my experience, Geico is Neiman-Marcus pricing for dollar-store service. Progressive is Target pricing for Walmart service so at least it is roughly balanced. With Pure or Chubb you pay a lot, but you get something for your money. I was longing for those comforting words, "don't worry sir, we...
  5. High insurance price may cause me to cancel order

    FWIW, we left Pure, went to Progressive to save money, and now we are back with Pure 12 months later. Someone bumped into our Model 3 while it was parked. I called progressive expecting them to behave like Pure. LOLOL. It got fixed, but the extra cost of Pure is worth taking the hassle away when...
  6. Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

    There were lots of sources. Elon himself said at Battery Day in 2020 "The orders are gigantic, so, we have like, I don't know, well over half a million orders. I think maybe six-hundred thou -- it's a lot, basically. We stopped counting." and Franz said "more than a million" as part of his...
  7. Any US Reservation Holders Still Waiting for Order Invite?

    It is not propaganda, and I am not sure it is particularly unusual. Ford had 200,000 reservations for the Lightning before launch and it ended up selling 20,000 in the first 12 months after launch. A 5% - 10% conversion rate is pretty typical, it seems. There are still plenty of CT reservation...
  8. Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

    Battery pack prices are 20% lower today than they were in 2019. Hot-rolled Coiled Steel was $703 / ton on April 1, 2019 and was $696 / ton on Friday. I think this is less about inflation than about someone's cost model being a bit too optimistic... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  9. Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

    It is possible, of course, but on this thread and on the other, we have only seen one single, solitary person calming that they are still waiting for an invite. If there were still a significant waiting list, I would expect that at least a few more than one would be on the owners forum...
  10. Any US Reservation Holders Still Waiting for Order Invite?

    Try going to the Tesla web site on your desktop browser and login, click "manage" under your CT reservation and then "start designing." It should take you to the non-foundation design configurator.
  11. Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

    It is a hypothesis. I say, let's ask the Forum. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/any-us-reservation-holders-still-waiting-for-order-invite.25273/
  12. Any US Reservation Holders Still Waiting for Order Invite?

    It appears that Tesla has now invited all reservation holders to order non-FS versions. Are there any US reservation holders still waiting for an invite to order a non-FS version? If so (check your account first...), post your ~ reservation date and location below.
  13. Any "On Hold" Foundation Orders Swapping to Non-Foundation?

    I do not think there is a queue. (See my other post.) Everyone with a reservation (in US) is getting invites to buy non FS vehicles.
  14. Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

    I say confirmed because they are now inviting someone like me, who reserved eight months after launch/first customer deliveries, to order and take delivery of a regular (non-foundation) CT within 60 days. Unless I am some special case (not), all the people on the reservation waiting list of...
  15. Confirmed: Original US Reservation List Exhausted

    I created a CT reservation in mid-July of this year (RN 12222XXXX). Just two weeks later (Aug 2nd) we were invited to configure a Foundation Series. Today we received an invite to configure a non-foundation series. I went to the configurator and built a DM which showed Oct-Nov delivery...
  16. CT Supercharging speeds on V4 SC

    We all need more excuses to stop at Buc-ees for some of those cinnamon-roasted pecans.
  17. First real road trip with my Cyberbeast. 365wh/mile over a 436x2 mile trip.

    My math would suggest about 65% at 60 mph 35% at 70 mph? That would be consistent with the Out Of Spec efficiency at 70mph of 2.4 miles / kwh => 416 wh/mi. If you ran about 65% at 60 and the rest at 70, and since it takes 36% more energy to overcome drag at 70 than at 60, with about 60% of the...
  18. Great article: Cybertrucks Making Inroads

    Detroit keeps having to re-learn this lesson. A different drivetrain does not move buyers. A unique vehicle does. GM's failed experiment with the Bolt, Ford's comparative success with Mach-E, Kia and Hyundai's successes, Porsche's success with Taycan, etc. You need interesting and unique. GM's...
