I saw a review video today of the Toyo open country AT. I had been considering Falken Wildepeak AT4W, because of the long life, and high weight capacity, and they look awesome. Evidently the Toyo's are 10 lbs lighter, and supposedly similar treadwear warranty, but louder, and less aggressive off...
Not yet. I suspect the imported brands will jump on this with the number of trucks that sold. i did find some really sweet wheels that I had custom designed, for about 1/3 the cost of the big boys. When I get the wheels, I may share pics and specs. But I’ll definitely share when the truck comes in.
That was probably the estimated window for those ordering around that time.
Joe Tegtmeyers drone footage showed increased Cybertruck production last week. They should start building demo models soon, if they’re going to start deliveries in June. Hopefully we start seeing steel wheels in the...
Another member posted a link to some wheels from Ali. I’ve talked to a vendor on there. I’ve found 2 wheel designs I’m choosing between. One looks like the paradox, and another has a very unique design I haven’t seen before. They are also willing to do custom center caps for me. The caps are...
Hold out for the Midel YL. It should be coming soon. Joe caught a body in white at the texas factory. In China, YL has the longest range battery. It also has additional comfor features. It may be just the right blend of comfort, FSD, range, and cost, to be ideal for your edge case. Plus, because...
I wish I had taken the opportunity to test a RWD when they were available. I’ve spent weeks in premium AWD, and Beast loaners from Tesla, when our other cars are in for various things. I’m curious how much of a downgrade the SAWD will feel like. I think there will be some, but I think the $20k...
It was a massive amount of orders in those 10 days. But you have to remember, a 10 day window for a $60K purchase does not fit everyone's buying window. Not everyone was waiting on the fence to buy. So had that gone on for a year, they may have hit that 250K number.
No idea! When my children (that all invest their earned, and gifted money) get concerned about stock drops, I remind them, everyone loves Black Friday sales, that is why we save dry powder all year. We save for holiday shopping, and we save for investment shopping. Life doesn't just happen, you...
I used an old reservation # from right after the reveal, and I've heard from a few others that did the same. Tesla did tell me that wont necessarily get me a truck sooner, that it has more to do with geography. I also asked if I could pick up at the Austin direct delivery center, and they said...
I did not mean to imply anyone was timing the market, I was simply saying that buying on red days gets you a better overall average, over time, buy in price, than trying to time the market for the best value. So I buy on red, and google AI indicates that yields a better return. But that is all...
I think, we think, nearly the exact same way. I said it with fewer words, which may have lead to a misunderstanding. I am opposed to selling at ATH, until my thesis is proven out, and probably even at that point, if my secondary plan works as planned. I agree with your position on holding.
My...
Those early predictions were based on a $69,990 beast type truck, with 500 miles of range. Even at an inflation adjusted $80k beast, with current range, would sell much better. Clearly the inflation adjusted stripped down AWD, sold really well. It’s the price not the truck that’s the problem.
Sorry for the old thread revival. I have been searching for Cybertrucks with 18 inch wheels and off road tires. I want to get a visual of what this setup would look like on the SAWD when it arrives. Not much out there that I have found so far. I think yours is a great representation. However, it...
I think those wheels look pretty good. Its the tires that ruin it. I think some Wildpeake's, or some Open Country's would make those wheels really look good!
I think they are switching from the 2nd gen wet electrode from LG imported from Korea, to the inhouse fully dry cell electrode. This will eliminate tariffs, logistics, vendor profit margin, and many other expenses. I think the Air suspension probably saves Tesla $5k, and other options removed...
Are you watching those videos? Joe said production is down last week and this week. I’ve only watched a few of Joes videos lately, but he’s said that in each one.
Well perhaps whatever changes we don’t see are required for a production ramp. Maybe DBE, which was designed to be a cost saver, over the imported LG jelly roll. Currently they are building zero trucks. Premium orders are taking 8 to 12 weeks in some cases.
