Ask the Big Three CEOs what they think about an extra 5% extra margin would mean to them. My order email said "Limited Edition", not the first 1,000. A "sales Rep" on the phone said Tesla would make "20,000" FSCT. You are going to hang your hat on that? With all the attention a CT gets on...
It would be cool if you could add a forecasted delivery date based on "Order Date" based on this information. I've tried and got delivery dates between the end of March and September for my 12/31 order date. Forecasting is not my specialty!
I said nothing of a "slow roll" of FSCT. I believe Tesla will build and sell as many FSCT as soon as they can. If that is true, they won't stop making FSCT until demand drops off. Do you think Tesla will voluntarily start selling regular CTs for $60k, $80k, or $100k, when they can sell as...
The FSD option stopped me from ordering on 12/8 as I have it on my M3 and it is not a finished product yet. I convinced myself Tesla was going to go through the list of 2 million reservations offering FSCT before selling non-FSCTs. I ordered a FSCT on 12/31 because I didn't want to wait...
I think credit unions tend to have better rates. Might be worthwhile to check them out. My Dad was in the Navy, and I can join the Navy CU. The loan I applied for through Tesla was through Chase Bank, where I bank, and the Tesla offer was better than online Chase offers. My Tesla loan was...
I live in Camarillo and don't have my VIN yet. I've seen the display FSCT model inside. It's been there since December. I don't think the new owner is on this forum.
I agree to hold off on the financing and start looking around for a good rate at your bank or credit union. Of course, you can go ahead and try Tesla's financing, but it isn't likely your FSCT will arrive before your finance arrangements expire. That happened to me, and I couldn't tell my...
December 16th. No, really, when did you order? December 16th! When? All kidding aside, a big congrats on your VIN! They are really building them slow to get them perfect from the very beginning. I'm guessing they are making slightly over 30/day. That puts my FSCT ordered on 12/31/23 to be...
My Model 3 had 2 miles when it was delivered in March of 2018. I could see them driving around the Giga Texas track a little. Based on how tight-lipped employees are, I think Tesla has pretty tight control on what employees can do with these FSCT before delivery.
I think Tesla did it the way they did because when you fly a jet you push the throttle forward to go forward. That is the way it will work when we all have flying cars (Roads? We don’t need no stinking roads!). (Sorry, combo of Back to the Future and Blazing Saddles.) Same for a gas pedal...
Congrats Gene! You are one of two CT deliveries in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties I am aware of. I fumbled my order and waited until 12/31. Happy to hear you are lovin' your CT. My wife was in SB today and didn't see you! Ha ha.... Prolly because it was surrounded by people! I see a...
I ordered the FSCT on 12/31. I applied through the Tesla app for a loan on 1/11 with $7.6k down and 6.59%. The $7.6k down loan was not approved the next day, but I got approval for a loan on 1/12 for $17.8k down and 6.59%. Just today (2/9) I received a US mail notification of the original...
Commander Ernie, my Dad, God rest his soul, retired from the Navy in 1963 when I was 11 years old. I have his Navy ID, my birth certificate and hope to qualify for an account and a FSCT loan from the Navy CU. I was even born in a Navy hospital! I have only had one other car loan and 6 home...
Based on the trade-in offers, it is clear Tesla’s company store priority is to sell NEW Teslas, not used Teslas. That makes perfect sense for a company wanting to maximize new car sales. I think traditional dealerships consider the used car business, service and repairs a much more profitable...
It seems when Bill Gates’ FSCT arrives, he will have one of his lawyers with Power of Attorney sign the transaction documents and drive it off the lot. That is what I would try to do if I were unavailable to pick up my FSCT.
I'm 12/31 order date after a 12/8 invitation. I worked out an estimated delivery date of September based on production rate of 2x the current rate of 25 CT/day. I'm sure hoping my September estimate is WAY OFF. The problem is we have no concept of how many people have ordered. They are still...
I have been asking for the reminder to plug in at home. I think this upgrade is great. Some "people" tend to not pay attention to the charge and having this reminder will help them function better with an EV. In an ICE vehicle, if you forget to fill up on the way home, it is fairly easy to...
I don't find FSD relaxing at all. I have had a couple of "exciting" events where I took over control of the vehicle. Since I am alert to what the FSD might do, I am sure I drive safer with it on. When we are on a long trip without FSD engaged, I get lazy and don't believe drive as safely. It...
