Not sure whether you are being sarcastic or political with that statement. Victims are all the others waiting for a CT. Tesla is also a victim here as it harms their reputation.

I guess you can jointly take the car, registered in both your names. Then, take his name off (have to check your state rules) ...

No - there is no such "capitalist economy", because everyone's idea what that is - is different. It's about the contractual obligations.

Any case law that supports your assertion?

I think this is the crucial thing. If your income allows you to claim tax credit it might be worth waiting. I’m now leaning towards ordering because I don’t think I can get the tax credit. But I do have the complication of a planned summer move …

No. Investment is supposed to appreciate- cars (except May be unique ones) depreciate - so they are not an investment at all.

LOL - I think I know what an if/then statement is - been writing code for 3 decades. I'm sure you know the meaning of estimate. If not, check a dictionary.

How’s that even legal ?

LOL. No I'm not claiming he can see the future - because given all the uncertainties that is what you need to be able to do to predict accurately. He has the track record of analyzing available fuzzy data and coming up with reasonable estimates. Since his estimates are data dependent they change...

Actually his early work was in figuring out Model 3 ramp up. His estimates of when any one individual would get 3 was quite good - including mine.

But he has a bit of reputation of not being wildly wrong ;)

May be because Starbucks doesn’t pay him. I’m yet to see a financial advisor say anything more useful than what you can get in the Bogglehead forum. Thankfully I followed neither of those and can buy a CT with cash as a result. Investing most of your money in TSLA is not what they would advice...

Says some with a model S and a Perf 3. A used to Toyota Camry is a financial decision would look like ;) BTW, Cash vs finance vs lease is a financial decision. I’ve done all 3 several times - depending on the circumstance, they were all good financial decisions.

Car is a lifestyle product - it’s not a financial decision. BTW, saying leasing doesn’t make financial sense is laughable. It all depends on the terms, MF etc.

I doubt they will let CT on lease anytime soon. May be after most reservations are exhausted….

I'm yet to decide on ordering - but one thing I need to figure out is what happens if I move. We do plan to move out of state in July. If I order now - CT may get delivered in June. Obviously I don't want to take delivery in June only to spend 2k to ship it in July (apart from paying higher...

This is how it will actually work - using the NACS connector - not the 220V outlet. E53: We Installed Tesla's POWERSHARE V2H Back-up system for Cybertruck ...how it works! (youtube.com) If you have a generator inlet in your house - and associated service disconnect / panel / interlock, you...

The installers Tesla worked with when developing the solution have posted YT videos about it - smartchargeamerica. They say the installation costs would be somewhere north of $3500 (I guess thats why for Beast Tesla will give $4k towards install). E53: We Installed Tesla's POWERSHARE V2H...

They held $40k for model S sig reservations for years ….

How much are you willing to bet ? I rarely bet - but I'll start with $20k.
