It may very well work like that.
With the ending of the FS, the dilemma for Tesla is how to manage things like vehicle holds. Do you hold back some number of built FS trucks in order to have product available for those customers when their holds go live again? Or do you ship the last FS truck...
Imagine back in 2017 you were unhappy about something - say, the range - about the then-new Model 3. And so decided to wait a bit, hoping to see a "model update."
You'd still be waiting.
Tesla does continual improvement, both in hardware and software. But Tesla doesn't do big feature changes...
Configured five days ago, 6/18/24 (AWD, White, Cyber Wheels). After the several reports lately of very quick VIN's, I thought I might see that kind of turnaround.
Nope. And incessantly firing up the app didn't help.
But this morning it finally came through. 19xxx. Just a few hundred shy of...
Lessee... neighbors who can't drive worth sh*t; and don't even have the common courtesy to stop and leave a note.
And Cybertruck drivers who leave their vehicle astride motorcycle-designated parking.
Some might say that's karma...
On the date you designated as the effective date.
If you didn't have that discussion, or provide a specific date, presumably your insurance company will have started your coverage immediately.
OP here.... putting his money where his mouth is.... just pulled the trigger on a FS AWD, white decor, with 35" AT tires. Expected delivery (Virginia) June-September.

Invite received 5/29/24. Configured 6/18/24.
The containment hold for the wiper motor is a wildcard. But that...
Thanks. I'm aware that Tesla uses third-party lenders.
But it's highly unlikely that Tesla is going to accept broadly divergent loan terms and conditions from those lenders, leading to very different customer experiences. Interest rates might vary a tiny bit across Tesla's bank partners. But...
Can those of you who have used Tesla financing please confirm
1. There is no pre-payment penalty?
2. The loans are simple interest?
I am trying to understand what the implications might be if one were to take out a loan with minimal downpayment, accept delivery, and then make a very large...
For straight charging, no, there's no need to do anything with your older Wall Connector. It will simply take longer to charge your CT than it did for comparable miles driven on your Model S.
If you want your CT to charge at the same rate (in terms of miles added) as your Model S, you'd need...
The CT is less efficient than your Model S. And it has a larger battery pack.
So your old charger is going to take longer to put the same number of "miles" back into the pack.
$979/yr. ($112 more than the premium on my Model 3). Erie.

Tesla is the only manufacturer out there that is building EV's at scale, and at a profit. Given that, it's probably not helpful to contrast them with anyone else in that space.
The singular reason for the two big misses (price and range) of the Cybertruck vis-a-vis the 2019 reveal was the...
So you log onto TreasuryDirect.gov and cancel the reinvestments on a couple of 28-day T-Bills. A couple more weeks and those mature, sending the principal back into the checking account... and squaring up the opportunity that at present is floating around like a skittish butterfly.
The invite...
There's been a broad perception that the Foundation Series gives us a single substantial feature - Full Self-Driving - and a handful of minor things. The balance of the $20K upcharge being a "tax" for being able to get a Cybertruck early.
The flip side of that perception is that when non-FS...
And they've already hit 1300/week (at least once). So 2500/week over the next half-year isn't a stretch at all. Frankly, given the present numbers, I'd expect them to exceed that 2500 bogey, probably by a fair bit.
Non-FS models are imminent. Largely because of that successful-to-date...
