OK, you seem to have thought about this a lot. What is your conclusion as to WHY Tesla engineers are doing this? <Can’t wait to hear this.>

I’d report them. I mean, you have evidence of indecent exposure, no matter how tiny it is.

The order page for the lower priced AWD truck shows estimated deliver of “2027”, which is a change from the 1Q 2027 it was a couple of days ago. So it doesn’t seem like they have capacity to make more trucks until 12-18 months from now. If their ability to make the trucks is constrained for the...

Fred Lambert was probably wetting himself with glee at reading this thread at the start. He’s become useless.

Electrek in general and Fred Lambert in particular is an unreliable source for any news related to Tesla.

Yeah, I was over in Bellevue/Redmond last week at a few appointments and I saw a number of them out and about. Lots of matte black wraps. When I pulled into the Supercharger in Mill Creek on the way home, I was the 3rd Cybertruck charging, so almost enough to have a proper posse.

I'm up in the San Juans but took a trip to Seattle last week to run a bunch of errands. 6 months ago, I'd have gotten middle fingers all over, but the number on this trip was: 250 miles & 0 middle fingers. I felt confident when I bought my CB last March that the haters would have the attention...

At this point the lawyers are going to argue that spilling hot coffee on your nutz fills some kind of weird personal need.

Maybe I’m just bad at business, but lowering the price on something so you can sell a lot of them when you’d be losing somewhere around $20K per unit seems…..suboptimal. ”Hey, boss, at that price we’re losing $20K per truck we sell.” ”Yeah yeah yeah Mr. Negativity, we’re gonna make it up with...

I’m up in the San Juans, but I go back and forth to Seattle/Bellevue every couple of weeks. The last couple of months I’m not seeing middle fingers too much in Seattle. Honestly the only reactions I get are on the island I live on, and those are a 50/50 mix of middle fingers accompanied by...

I had the windshield tinted when I had the side windows done. STEK ceramic 80%, so the tint is barely noticeable, but the ceramic in the film makes a big difference in heat transmission. I had the side windows tinted down to the legal limit in my state.

I was basing it on exactly zero facts. It was a joke. Good Lord.

I'm pretty sure it will be mandatory. To unlock the door of your truck, Grok will do a voice check

Re: fading or chipping: I painted the calipers on my Corvette years ago with a 2 part epoxy paint made for high temp use cases and I never had any issues of fading or chipping. It’s a bit of a pain to use, but it’s durable as hell.

Yep, when people ask me questions about the CT in parking lots, I always invite them to come and take a look at the size of the bed and the back seat. I keep the back seat folded up so my two golden retrievers have a giant dog bed back there. People are genuinely shocked at the size of the...

Looks great - congrats.

I just bought a 2025 Lightning Platinum a few weeks ago to replace my 2012 Tundra as my "island truck" we use to haul manure around and take stuff to the dump on the island we live on. I love it, but it doesn't hold a candle to my Cyberbeast.

100% true - I had a 2012 Tundra that I paid $46K for 15 years ago that I just sold for $25K about 2 weeks ago. Not the smallest depreciation I ever had in a car, but close.

Well said. I'd also add that if you want to see crushing depreciation, try owning a 7 series BMW. A few years ago I bought a new 750Li. I paid a bit over $100K, not counting sales taxes. Five years later I sold the car with about 115K miles on it for the KBB value of around $24K. It was a hell...

There's a Seattle area FS AWD showing up on the Tesla inventory web page today. Shows as in-transit to Lynnwood. New, not a demo, free supercharging. $89,990.
