I hope this is the case. I am close to the top of the list, so I hope thye offer the truck at a decent price so i can afford to get one immediately, but if thye start out at $90K, I would have to think about waiting. I just don't want to give up my turn in line.
Currently Tesla reservations (say for MY)
You get on the list to order a vehicle,
They give you the email stating you can select the vehicle you want and options.
They assign a VIN # to your account.
Then you have 2 weeks to get financing and pick up the vehicle .
If you choose to not...
I guess there is no need to check all the time. I am really close to the top of the list, so I check to see if they open the option sheet yet. very excited. I was going to take a trip from TX to Georgia once I get it. Was hoping it would be ready before Thanksgiving. But just in time for my...
I will pick up mine, just 30 miles away. But my daughter just got her another MY. And they had it picked up in Austin service center. So , most likely Tesla will make you pick up at service center. I wish they would let us get at factory. Did that for my corvette. Was a fun adventure.
well...
Just to give My 2 cents worth.
I know some suppliers of the CT front body pieces that are Tier 1 suppliers to Tesla.
These suppliers were told to have parts ready at Austin plant by 3 Nov 2023.
the quantities per day equal close to Elon's estimated production rate of 330K - 375K a year.

If you look closely at the frame shots showing the rear steel frame ( in older posts) where the window mounts on the Cybertruck, you can see the track where the rear cover rides. There is no room or track for an area where the window can slide down.
so I believe , unless they redesign the rear...
I believe that these are motors with an arm that is hidden that goes to the hinge. I have seen hinges that use an arm on a motor similar to the wiper, might be incorrect, but don’t see any other reason for them. They are both mounted in the same place on each side
I saw this also, but I think this is part of the crash breakaway for front end collisions. smaller easily torn off door hinges would make sense with a stainless 3mm paneled door.
Day 1 - less than 30 secs. #-300, live near Giga Texas plant. Own a Tesla since 2020. Wish I was one of the first at the ceremony, But talking to an engineer at Tesla and a sales Manager, and employees and Investors getting the first ones, Also told I can change my motor choice when # comes up...
My reservation was done less than a min into it. I was 1098 on actual reservation from start. Lot less after adjustments and taking out all the rest of the world. I had conversations with sales and they think I may be around 318 on list for CT. I live an hour from the Austin plant. I expect I...
I got the same text message on Saturday. I did not inquire about anything.
I also noticed that the text weas from the same source 3 yearsa ago when I was talking to one of the sales reps at Tesla. The old text was in the history of the new text.
It is possible that the 120 plug will have 120V on each but use an adapter that can plug into both 120 plugs and give 240V so it can be used for either use.
