Thank you so much. I'm gonna call my highly placed, Tesla insider friend today and get to the bottom of me not being updated :cry:. Thanks for the highly sourced details on the initial models and I'll try and pay better attention to this forum.

Thanks for the interesting alliteration . As I'm sure you know, software is normally licensed for use, not sold and while the replication of each developed software license appears to be zero cost the constant revising, testing, implementation, deployment and support of software presents a...

You are only speculating regarding the Model availability and pricing but please continue as apparently, that is good sport for some.

As someone who was in the software biz, calling software sales as "pure margin" is an old trope. Truth is, the cost of FSD development and support is very expensive and, it will never be "done" ... That is why Tesla self identifies as a software company perhaps more than as a manufacturing...

I believe the original estimate by Tesla was 300+ miles for the Dual Motor CyberTruck. So you made a reservation for something you would "no way in hell" purchase? Strange days these ...

So, Elon said that the original price targets set in 2019 are incorrect for the final build. The Giga Press casting will allow for the first real CyberTruck to be built. The Prototypes only resemble what the final product will look like, not how they are actually made. All the consternation...

Nearly half of my "Baby Boomer" generation has no money or appreciable plan for retirement. Many others have simple plans based upon Social Security but with fewer people contributing, that bucket will be empty soon. Not a lot of good news these days but Tesla is one company that seems to have...

In mid 1979, a $7000 VW Rabbit Diesel would sell for $5K over MSLP. Do you think that inflated price held up once the supply caught up with demand? People are very good at extracting their opinions from their waste portals.

Have you ever read Popular Mechanics? It smells like liniment ...

Worth ??? Supply/demand is the culprit here, not Musk or Tesla or even Grampa Joe.

Note to all, cancel that CT reservation and move on over to the Silverado (like a rock). Should have it by 2025 ... :cool:

Its seem many are missing that the price increases of late were (IMHO) based upon an attempt to quell demand due to production ramp time issues. Having long wait times is not good for any brand Tesla included. If you looked at the price increases from a strictly inflationary standpoint, they...

Supply demand people. With a $100 fully refundable reservation fee, actual demand is not knowable. Fortunately, Elon see's the CT as a brand defining product and so my hope is the prices will allow for high Tesla like margins while still being reasonable. At this juncture, I would prefer a...

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

I'm pretty sure the model I want (and ordered) will be competitively priced. Give me dual motors, AWD, 300+ mile real range and I'll be a happy camper. Being a member of the monitiarly described US bourgeoisie (I'm a peasant at heart and mind), there'll be no tax credit for me. That class has...

Yeah, something like that but even more whiny libertarian in tone and content.

I had read here that they would only accept 1 reservation per payment source. So you're saying that I could make 50 $100 deposits for 50 different reservations? If so, I hope Tesla will look at this closely as with demand so high, getting the trucks into the hands of individual buyers is the...

You might want to re-read the post you quoted. I didn't say anything about price. The post was in regard to the 50 unit reservation guy from Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley. I mentioned a higher deposit fee which would be on final configuration of the reservation as a way to dissuade some of the...

I didn't read the entire thread but although I enjoyed the relaxed Elon saying anything that came into his mind, I found the guy who had made 50 Cybertruck reservations very disturbing. I thought the requirement was 1 reservation per payment source (eg individual). What, the guy has 50 bank...
