The numbers don't work out for 3 reasons. 1) they cost roughly 1.6 times the amount that was originally projected, 2) you can't get a federal tax credit, and 3) there is no autonomy.
there's basically no advantage to early reservations that I can see other than the following:
My remaining play...
as I understand it is a quasi-exoskeleton. They will have lots of Structural input from the exoskeleton, but also the support from the single piece rear and forward castings like normal cars would have will offer a large part of the structural integrity as well. Cory steuben discussed this in...
My first Cybertruck is due next year.
How much can I lease it out for?
and to whom?
There are so many markets for this vehicle I want to list all the value-Drivers for the first 1-3 years. After that, it's obvious, it's all about autonomous cargo hauler value.
But for next year, how much...
Lol I mean I just ran across this literally just now, what the fuck is this Twitter poll 50-50 ha ha for people who are wanting to buy an electric versus not buying electric. Seems impossible that this question exists. my point exactly, can you imagine being a person thinking about buying a car...
I'd say only around 20% of the people I meet even know or have seen or respond to the word Cybertruck. I get dumb looks every time I mention it ha ha I say oh, it's an autonomous cargo hauler. That's the best I've got to explain.
no, you're right, that's a solid estimate, I'd say more to the 20/30% but these concepts are difficult for people to understand in my experience so I'd say it was more of a 'loophole' for those who saw the value than we would give ourselves credit for. my view/opinion.
I can't wait to see the curve. Once we get a good idea of the shape, we can project out to whatever reservation number we are. And then will have a decent idea what our X factor is.
So Corey Steuben has said 2x right out the gate. I expect around 1.2 X at the hundred thousand vehicle mark which...
Sure, I’ll attempt to explain even though I’ve already said, I’m not wanting to waste time discussing this.
Lease program like this, call it a negative lease program. It is likened to noise. tesla will not function in this elaborated way. They will simplify. It is extraneous, it’s in the weeds...
Two year lease is ridiculous. Waste of time even thinking about that, way outside of reality.
Other factors, I will weigh when the time comes. I’ll look at all the moves Tesla has made, which, in my above I explain, is not gonna be pointed. In fact, I don’t think they’re gonna make any measures...
Thanks for this, thanks a lot for this actually. Again, it’s going to come down to risk level that reservation holders are comfortable with. There’s a lot of uncertainty with how this will play out. Simple answer, early reservation holders that want to flip their vehicles are in a very powerful...
