It just took 3 trips to my local car wash?

Now thats what we are talking about!!!

Thanks all for the feedback on service. It is good to hear that many have been very happy with Tesla service. For people who have not had a Tesla we depend on media and talking with friends to form an impression. We already know the media often have it in for Tesla. My other main source of...

For transparency, I have not owned a Tesla vehicle. I have passed on the FS but really really like the CT and will order as soon as I can after the FS ends. My one lingering concern, despite all the harsh press, is the near universal conclusion that customer service is bad, particularly if you...

The market will sort out this messy rollout. If from this point forward Tesla produces 1000 or more trucks per week they will exhaust the FS buyer pool quickly. The CT is no longer the shiny ultra new toy it was 6 months ago. The 100K price combined with the harsh anti Tesla press have taken...

Mine is still active from December.

Regardless of differences of perspective and opinion this forum is a great resource. Most of us have either configured or plan to as soon as the nonFS series becomes available. The way Tesla handles communication and customer service currently is downright campy. That worked when they were the...

I don’t like or respect the unwillingness of Tesla as a company to communicate with us their customers. All this uncertainty sucks, particularly if the buyer is not wealthy and using the CT as a toy or second vehicle. If this is truly the Tesla way It has the potential to sink the company. That...

Tesla is fortunate to say the least to have an ample supply of people willing to pay 100K+ to beta test the CT. Lesson learned by watching. I will never be in a rush to be an early adopter of a Tesla vehicle.

The citation must be from the university of IMHO.

The decision to wait when I first got the FS invite in December was difficult but becomes easier by the day. This gives time for early issues to be corrected. Sure hope they can get the AWD into rebate range when they offer the nonFS series. When? I still think things will open up for ordering...

Elon saying we are ramping up is significant. Deliveries should start to gain pace rapidly and nonFS orders should be just around the corner, albeit likely only for 2025 delivery.

It better be a limited edition?

Letting significant stockholders jump the line at this point just adds to the shitshow carnival atmosphere Tesla has created around the CT. For most of us this stuff got old before it started. Buying the CT started as an exciting adventure for most of us. The changing specs, pricing...

Tesla has offered a $1000 discount on other Tesla vehicles to most early reservation holders. If you can take advantage of that before canceling you might break even.

Bring calipers. If there are significant gap issues you can document them. Later you can objectively verify correction. Conversely you may realize a perceived gap issue is negligible if it is asymmetric by only 1 or 2 mm. Also if you have a precise number Tesla staff may be more esponsive.

Won’t ever lose that truck in a lot.

Reality check fellow CT enthusiasts. The number of people that can afford, let alone want or need a CT is limited. God bless those of us, me included, that can afford this vehicle. It will be cherished and probably abused by us. I have no idea what Teslas plans are for production and pricing in...

Move to Southern California where the CT will be commonplace in 6 months.

This whole issue is the labeling. Putting out a Foundation Series is a traditional way to begin a product launch. No problem right? Calling it limited edition is a different story. The limited label implies exclusivity and possibly value as a collectible. Without a set edition size using the...
