And Section 179 bonus depreciation, although only 60% of the full purchase price in 2024 compared to 80% in 2023. Elon better sell me that truck in calendar year 2024 otherwise it drops to 40% next year.
I heard that currently each one is lovingly handcrafted by an expert builder named Eugene. Photo below of the Cybertruck he's working on today. 275 per day? Don't rush the man...
See below the Model 3 ramp. Tesla is more experienced at production now than it was in 2017, but as Elon mentioned this truck is revolutionary, so maybe a comparable ramp speed?

C'mon man, we have literally nothing else to do but speculate while we sit here waiting for our trucks ?. Speaking of which, I have actual work to do this morning, why am I on here? ?
I'm with you on this one. It's a "Limited Edition" in that it's "limited" to how many people they can get to buy one. Once nobody else on earth is willing to fork over $100k+ then they'll finally drop this edition and start selling the cheaper ones. It makes the most sense from a business...
With only a couple of oddball exceptions, all invitations have gone to reservations numbered 11274xxx - 11280xxx which represents a pool of 60,000 reservations, not all of which are for Cybertrucks (although most would be since only handful of people would have been ordering other vehicles over...
Maybe Tesla just needs to cast a wider net, like for example offering the FS to all reservation holders with an RN112xxxx instead of slow rolling the invites. A lot of people on this forum would jump on an FS invite if only we received one
A lot can change in terms of one’s personal finances in four years. When I reserved a $57k AWD with FSD I was seriously concerned about whether I’d be able to afford it. But our household income has doubled in those four years to where I can comfortably afford a Foundation Series AWD with range...
11274 - 11288 were over a roughly 24 hour period during which there was a downright frenzy of Cybertruck orders. I’m sure that incidentally there were some 3, Y, S, X orders in that 24 hours but honestly how many? 3,000 out of that 140,000 RN block? I say 3,000 because that’s a million S3XY cars...
I just clicked on a cell and then did a CTRL+A in Google Chrome, which copied everything to the clipboard, and then pasted into Excel and it worked perfectly. That's how I compiled the bar graph above
Correct. So with roughly 100 documented orders each for 11274 and 11275 that means we're seeing 100 / 10,000 = 1% of reservations being converted to documented Foundation Series pre-orders for those earliest tranches. So one out of every hundred people who ordered in the 11274-11275 timeframe...
My interpretation of this, from a macro level, is that earlier reservation numbers are being prioritized for invites. Now I'm not sure why a single 11276 invite would go out before all of the 11275's had been invited, go figure, but at least we know that they're generally following the list even...
