    Self-Presenting Doors (possible with update?)

    I like it too but the problem is that feature is dependant on a Key Fob. Not seeing it on the CT ...

    For those who though that Foundation was really limited to 1000's units....here is your proof that its not....

    I'm a shareholder with a 12/03/2019 reservation and received the email yesterday. While I understand the business reasons for Tesla creating the Foundation Series, I'm just not that into it. I just bought a 2018 Model X that I'm very happy with and when/if the non-FS Dual Motor or even a long...

    CyberVessel Thermos in Official Tesla Shop [Updated With Real Life Video]

    I don't think the intent here was that you would actually use it for drinking out of. This is one of those "special" products that has zero usability but serious collector value. It also makes an interesting back drop piece for all your social media posting.

    Foundation Series production ending soon? Not according to Tesla Cybertruck Vehicle Program Manager Siddhant Awasthi

    Some would say (not me) that the Foundation Series is for YouTubers and Business Owners purchasing what will soon be a rapidly depreciating asset or wealthy spendthrifts who just want the attention getting factor of the Foundation Series Cybertruck. They (not me) also say that many will unload...

    Foundation Series Cybertruck Ready to Order... Sell My Tesla Shares To Buy?

    This is one of those if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't do it. As the person who purchased the "faberge egg" Tesla Model X vehicle built in 2018 that originally sold for $150K for $42K loaded including FSD and a warranty, I'd say hold em. Mark my word, the Cybertruck will sell new for...

    The issues are piling up…

    Bottom line with virtually all of these "issues" is that they don't add up to much. Check out the Munro Assoc "body on frame" analysis of the Rivian R1T and compare that to Tesla's giga casting exoskeleton approach. Clearly the Cybertruck is structurally superior to virtually any other truck...

    Kid dropped iPad down tonneau cover slit.

    That is a feature (contraband secure storage), not a bug ... Clever boy to have discovered it. :)

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    @Celiboy Your emotional post is a good example of that condemnation of people who don't think like you do... but you can't see that, can you?

    Tesla Cuts 10% of Global Workforce

    Next man up time ... hope they still have a deep bench.

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    I was speaking to the viability of the product and perhaps my own use case. I like and own Tesla's and want the company to do well. At the price points, estimated range and technology outline in 2019, this strange vehicle held some promise as a versatile daily driver for me. I am fortunate to...

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    I think many here are missing some points. The Tesla brain trust (Elon, Franz and Hans) are not truck guys. The "tough truck" argument doesn't wash with work truck people who don't give a damn about scratches or door dings. They use their trucks for work and the SS skin of the cybertruck is...

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    In California, there are more Tesla's and Superchargers than anywhere else in the world. There are certain locations that get jacked up during rush hour or a holiday weekend but there are so many options it's easy to avoid. With so many Uber drivers using M3's & Y's the urban SC's are often full...

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    Perhaps ... and more big battery, inefficient, slow charging BEV's will only exacerbate that issue. I like many Tesla owners do 90% of my charging at home and in my case, 80% of that 90% comes from a solar power/battery system. If I didn't have a solar system and Level 2 home charging I would...

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    The Cybertruck is much more of a novelty product than the Model X. Many of the people who are buying now are simply those who want the attention that owning a unique and expensive thing gives them. The Model X maxed out production in 2018 (28K units) and because of high price and low production...

    So something is wrong in Austin ... CyberTruck backlog

    I used to be bothered that my 12/03/2019 reservation put me 350,000ish in line for a CT but now, I think it was a blessing in disguise. There is just no way I would pay the Foundation Series markup let alone the $20K they added to the first production pricing. Remember in 2016 when the Model X...

    Bye Bye Cybertruck

    With my Model Y lease ending in a month I was out to the Tesla Center near me and looking at next options like another MY or, the quirky but useful Model X. Sitting on their show room floor was a Cybertruck all by itself with no one around, no ropes saying keep away just sitting there ...

    Picked up my AWD Foundation Series Cybertruck yesterday in NorCal

    I'm in Carmichael and my reservation was Dec 3rd, 2019. I have Tesla Solar/Powerwalls with Gateway and Wall Connector. My understanding is the existing PW's, gateway and Wall Connector are all that's needed to work requiring no additional hardware. So you have a CT FS unit ordered and are...
