  1. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    I do hope Tesla can get the 4680 production bugs worked out, AND, get the efficiency to where they promised, AND, it is done at a cheaper price. All those things are still to come SooN. Battery cost. Huge, huge part of the whole electrification movement. There are many, many people that...
  2. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    Worldwide in 2022, Tesla sold 747,500 Model Ys, which was UP 91% Worldwide in 2022, Tesla sold 482,200 Model 3s, which was down 3% As far as demand vs availability factoring into ultimate sales, obviously you can look at the backlog of Model 3 orders vs Model Ys and compare. The reality is, at...
  3. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    According to FiatGroupWorld.com, the F150 sales for 2022 were 525,100. Obviously much lower than pre-panemic. But I don't get the point. What does it matter how many F150s were sold. The US pickup truck market is very large. Tesla will capture a slice of that pie. How big? I don't know...
  4. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    I did find this......Ford sold 896,526 F150s in 2019. So, yes you are right, not a million. Of course that segment has the Ram, the various GMC and Chevy pickups, as well as the Nissan and Toyota variants. Oh, and the Honda Ridgeline. And no one can predict who many CTs Tesla will sell...
  5. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    In peak years Ford has sold 1 million F150s. And you are totally right about the styling. We don't know if the inital delight of getting a Cybertruck wears off since every single one will be the same color! LOL People's taste varies widely.
  6. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    In the meantime, while I wait for my Tri-Motor or whatever they produce, I am driving a Ford Lightning and really really enjoy it. If the Cybertruck is better than the Lightning, the demand will be off the charts (while, depending on price). The ride of the Lightning, with independent...
  7. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    I think it is clear the 4680 battery ramp is giving them fits. I am sure they, and most Tesla fanboys, thought we would be much further along with the 4680 battery production. Whether they will be ready to produce enough 4680 batteries in 2024 to meet their planned production amount of...
  8. Great view this morning into Cybertruck general assembly line

    I will take that bet. My WAG (wild ass guess) is about 5000-10,000 units in 2023, and about 125,000-150,000 in 2024. 2026? 400-500,000 delivered Cybertrucks (in the US) would be a huge success, IMO.
  9. Any early registered Cybertruck in the Washington DC Metro area?

    I am in the Washington DC area as well. However I am not that high (low #) on the waiting list as you. IMO I don't expect more than a handful of delivers in 2023. Maybe mostly to employees. When the first get delivered to the DMV area might not be until late 2024? So let's hope we "see"...
  10. How to find place in line?

    I had a reservation for a Rivian, Ford Lightning and a Cybertruck, while driving a Ford F150 ICE. Because I estimated it will be 2025 before delivery of my Cybertruck, I took delivery of a Ford Lightning (and love it....does everything my F150 did....and more) to hold me over.
  11. How to find place in line?

    I wouldn't get too excited, yet. Most Tesla "experts" are predicating a very small # will be delivered in 2023...nothing of conquences. And in 2024, NO ONE knows how many they will build. I see people saying they "know" Tesla will produce 200,000 Cybertrucks in 2024. Bull. They don't know...
  12. Here we go again! (TFL on Tesla)

    I agree about the CCS infrastructure. As I drive my Ford Lightning, waiting for my Cybertruck to arrive in ____(soon), traveling outside the home circle can be a lot of extra work. I have to juggle 4 different apps to find charging locations. While driving right past some Tesla charging...
  13. CYBERTRUCK SPOTTED @ FREMONT (04/30/2023)

    As I drive around in my new Cybertruck (December 2024, ha) I expect a lot of "boy, your truck sure is ugly" comments.
  14. CYBERTRUCK SPOTTED @ FREMONT (04/30/2023)

    Boy that one picture sure makes it seem like it has.
  15. Reality timeframe of Cybertruck wait

    Love my Lightning....but the Tesla charger software and charging network beats the pants off what NON Tesla owners like Lightning owers have to use. I will be ready for my Cybertruck....whenever that time comes. If the Cybertruck is just as good as a 2023 Model Y, it will be awesome. If it...
  16. Reality timeframe of Cybertruck wait

    I placed a reservation for the CyberTruck November 2019. In the meantime, I am driving a Ford Lightning Extended Range. Realistically I think November 2024 is about when I can hope for delivery, but in Elon time that might be Summer 2025. I assume my Lighnting will be good until Summer...
  17. How long will you wait for your Cybertruck?

    I placed a reservation in November 2019 for a Tri-Motor. I figure I might be offered delivery November 2025. (2024 will be all about ramping) In the meantime I am driving a Ford Lightning. So, I am waiting, but did shop elsewhere in the meantime.
  18. Another Jim Cramer hit piece on the Cybertruck

    I originally placed a reservation for a Tri-Motor, with the 500 mile range (now I wonder what they were thinking promising that much range....it is 4 years later and I doubt they will be able to sell any Cybertrucks with over 400 miles of range at the launch). I am still very interested in...
  19. Another Jim Cramer hit piece on the Cybertruck

    Not defending Cramer, and I am a huge Cybertruck fan boy having placed a reservation in November 2019, but the CyberTruck deserves some critism. Nothing is perfect. Will the CyberTruck sell? Yes, of course it will sell like crazy as Tesla works its way through the waiting list. However, it...
