Ditto to those above. Reveal night Res, #112764XXX in Massachusetts. Today's email was dated 4:25pm EST. Excited that I seem to be early in the queue (RN should put me around 19,500), but I likewise am stretching to do the $79,995 AWD and taking the $7500 tax rebate. Can't spare the $27,500...
I appreciate your counterpoints as well. I guess we will need to agree to disagree. There were 6% who configured, but there were many more who had the option and chose not to. Waiting on different configurations and whatnot. There were many others in other locations who were passed over...
I respectfully disagree.
Saying Rivian did this, and Lucid did that, therefore Tesla CyberTruck will follow those vehicles, is not realistic. You need to compare the Rivian R1T and the Lucid Air to the 2012 Model S, not to the CyberTruck. Pricy first models from a floundering EV start up...
Proportional to the number of reservations, Tesla has never "blown up the line" anywhere near this early.
With the Model 3, I was a day two reservation holder. I was invited to configure in June of 2018, about 12 months after the initial delivery event. They "opened the queue" about a month...
Seems conceivable that either,
1. Tesla is real CLOSE to maxxing out on Foundation orders (say 974 out of 1000), and so they pulled the option to order back to just the first tranche so that they don't exceed the magic number and/or so they have less disappointed near misses in the larger...
for reasons stated above, Joe’s flyovers are good for *maybe* knowing when some number are prepping for shipping, but the flyovers give zero info on how many have been built. Joe says/assumes that the number of outbound trucks has some correlation to production rate, but he’s just been wrong in...
When Tesla starts production on a drastically new vehicle, they've always started with orders near the factory(s), so that any initial issues can be addressed quickly (and discreetly). They ~always have a Founders/Signature Edition at the very start. And during the initial ramp, they roll out...
You are probably a few months too early here on this forum. Despite all the hype, the Tesla delivery event was a largely promotional event, and there are probably less than 50 privately owned CyberTrucks on the roads so far. And those are all well connected folks- mostly Tesla executives and...
Surprised, but glad they are spreading the Cyber Love. When I was at the Boylston St store on Sunday, the Tesla guy at the door said he expected it to be there for a long time. Wouldn't shock me if this shows up at the brand-new Mohegan Sun store in the near future.
So, this is saying 1 out of every 3 people who HAVEN"T RESERVED a CyberTruck plan to buy one?! No matter how many reservation holders cancel, that would mean Tesla will NEVER run out of buyers!
Model 3 RWD is great in the snow. I have aggressive All Seasons on it and have never gotten stuck (although it has low ground clearance so have to mainly stay on ~plowed roads. It's nothing like an old RWD gasser with a big engine in the front and no weight in back. The Model 3 has a 48%/52%...
To be honest, I had seen so many pictures of CTs in showrooms that it actually looked about like I expected. Really cool. Kind of surreal. But well put together. I guess it kind of re-excited me, (but I wasn't jumping off a cliff before). Tesla never said anything about a mid-gate. That...
Excellent!
Now if they'll just kindly upload the CyberTruck Owner's Manual, I can ensure that I won't get any more work done for the remainder of the year.
Conversely, as an exercise, I tried to "build" a best match Lightening on the Ford website this morning. I wound up with an XLT for $72k, which had a little less range, towing and loading capacity, non-ventilated cloth seats, and no access to the NACS charging system. I imagine I could match...
My famiIy is well below $300k. I am "buying above my means" when I buy Teslas, and lots of others do too. When Model 3 came out, Tesla showed stats on the most popular trade-ins for the new Model 3s. There was a BMW in there, but the rest of the top 5 trade-ins were Camrys, Civics, etc.
When...
I didn't want to clutter the board with a Massachusetts specific post, so I placed this here.
So, I went to the Pru Center showroom today to view the CyberTruck. Looks great. Certainly doesn't look huge in the low suspension setting. But the most relevant thing to me was some of the...
