I saw the “EST” letters and addressed them in my reply. I reserved early January 2020. The point you are missing is the risk that Tesla will take if they increase the price again against a soft EV market. We shall see what happens.

Yes, they did. It’s on their website: Whether they caveat it with “estimate” or not, that is what was and is still communicated as the price point. Dial it down dude. I’m not here to argue with you.

I would agree that high number of people will ultimately pass. In my situation it is wants versus needs. I want the Cybertruck, but I don’t need a vehicle. I have five. So for me, it is not a “Goldilocks” or “fence sitter” situation. It is Tesla finally agreeing to offer the Cybertruck as...

IMO, it is because there is a lot of interest but not at $100,000 plus price. You can see this by the increasing volumes of emails Tesla sent out inviting reservationists to order the foundation series, and the used car market (which currently only has foundation series), that is growing in...

Meh, I’m not worried. If Tesla tries to nickel and dime to up-charge the regular (post Foundation) Cybertruck i.e. the one millions of us signaled that we were interested in, then I’ll wait for a good used CT with the options I want. But, I don’t think that will be the case. Things to consider...

That is good news.

I wouldn’t write off the whole generation. I’m raising 2 Gen Z daughters. They are smarter than me. I just keep them off the brain-rotting social media.

Very nice, and executed well. ?

From someone who has recovered non-Tesla leather seats with new covers, yes, this should be a straightforward fix. One has to apply pressure/stretch the seat cover to fully reinstall the U channel on the bracket. Sometimes you need an assistant. A rare occurrence could be attributed to an error...

Yes, here’s a tip from my experience with BKF: You should follow the instructions on the BKF package rather than this YouTuber’s advice: Soft Cleanser How to use BKF Soft Cleanser Shake well before using. Squeeze BKF onto wet surface or damp sponge. Rub onto soiled surface. Rinse...

I don’t lease cars, but I have family and friends who do, and I haven’t heard of any manufacturer that would not work with a purchaser who wants to trade in / or up and has an existing lease. The devil is in the details of course, but one only has to search “end car lease early on trade” for...

Following as I’m also a Floridian and I’m wondering about heat impact. I was getting ready to post a thread asking Southern owners how the CT fares being parked outside now that we are getting into the heat of the summer. Mine will live outside because the classics are in the garage, plus the...

I see. I didn’t watch it.

That is cool. This reminds me of the 24K gold plated DeLoreans. There were only three made. Got to see the only one that is in private hands last year when it was in for service.

For the OCD types like myself I agree with removing the rust and applying grease. For example, I recently did a brake job on my Camaro. Although the wheel will cover the hub, I removed the rust, cleaned and greased it before installing the wheel: I used a red synthetic grease: I expect...

Non owner here. Sounds to me like the compressor is rattling while in operation. Perhaps it could be a loose / faulty compressor mount?

It sure looks like it will be. Tesla does not have the capital problems that plagued the startup DMC in their second year of production of 1982. As a reservation holder, I am crossing my fingers that Tesla continues cranking them out and gets past the foundation series phase when my number is...

Thanks for sharing your museum experience! As a car guy, I never heard of Elwood Haynes or his cars. It’s cool to read about his contributions to automotive and metallurgical industries. However, it appears that stainless steel was developed as a result of a series of scientific developments...

I’m still waiting on mine, but I met a guy with a Cybertruck on the way to a car show, and he was able to come too. We parked all the stainless brothers together:
