Exactly my thought. Highest margin trim equals the speediest delivery window.
Those trying to order the $80k PAWD trim see the 9+ week lead time now contemplate stepping up to the $99k Cyberbeast for a quicker delivery date.
It's a great reminder not to attach magnetic emblems to the CT’s stainless steel panels. The SS pitting is pretty significant.
You would need to grind a significant amount of material away to totally eliminate the pitting.
July 13th is crazy. PCS failure is the #1 topic on this forum right now.
This might also explain the low CT production numbers at the TX assembly plant right now.
If you watch Joe T.’s Giga TX drone videos you’ll notice that Cybertruck production is very low on his flying days. I counted less than 25 CT’s sitting in the outbound lot yesterday, April 24th.

I do like these covers. They have a very ingenious mounting system as well.
I know they are developing 20” covers for the Cybertruck, not sure about 18” for SAWD owners.
The exterior is tough to inspect due to zero paint on the SS. For example, a damaged quarter panel could be replaced but you won’t be able to tell since it has no exposed bolts or paint to inspect.
In addition to the checklist above I would look at the windshield and roof glass alignment...
That older VIN makes me very suspicious.
The vehicle may have been damaged during transport and it just got out of the collision center. Perform your due diligence.
For $80k I would demand a fresh VIN and not accept the older VIN that Tesla assigned you.
Part of the problem is the auto mechanic shortage in the US. It’s hard to retain mechanics at dealerships around the country. The average hourly wage for a Tesla technician is $27.79 an hour. That pencils out to roughly $58k per year.
We can speculate all day long on when SAWD deliveries begin. All we have to go on is the delivery date when we placed our online reservations.
When I placed my 7:03am PST reservation the website stated June for delivery.
I assume a VIN will be assigned by late May/early June if the estimated...
