While the current inflationary period does make it appear Tesla will be unable to sell CTs at the originally announced prices, I think if there is a price increase they will try to make it a minimal one.

I think it is currently extremely difficult to predict even remotely close to what will actually happen for several reasons. While I am hopeful Tesla will be able to produce 500k+ CTs per year, I think the ramp could be somewhat difficult. First, producing the stainless steel body at scale...

While like many here I am a bit bummed by this announcement, I think there could be an upside to it. The delay could cause some to cancel their reservation and thus those of us who reserved rather late might see our reservations move up the list. This delay was not totally unexpected as the...

To my knowledge, Tesla firmware does NOT check or care how many occupants are in the vehicle. It does however warn if a seat sensor is triggered and the corresponding seatbelt is not fastened. Use or avoidance of toll roads and HOV lanes are preferences that can be set for the navigation system.

I agree a multi-hinge double opening tailgate could be useful, but the extra complexity and cost does NOT seem worth it especially since the tailgate also houses a 2-section ramp. Personally I think the tailgate will be too heavy for a hinge that would allow "door" opening. I would rather have...

I think many of us (myself included) are wondering what Tesla means by the use of those obscure terms. The following is pure speculation without any supporting evidence: I think their "Alpha" phase is figuring out procedures, parts, and equipment needed to make CTs at scale. And "Beta" would...

Several good points made previously in this topic. What seems to have been missed is that Tesla will make an adaptor for use at US superchargers. Weather the adaptor will be provided at SC locations or non-Tesla owners will have to buy one has not been stated. I think the big problem/issue...

Much of this conversation has gone way far off-topic and should have been put in a separate thread. As to the original subject, I believe the CT will be too intimidating for most conventional pickup owners to attempt bullying on the road. Also the stainless steel exoskeleton (and hopefully...

I think Tesla changes their delivery policies periodically depending on location and circumstances. If near the end of a quarter, they want the delivery completed quickly and are much less flexible. In my case, my first Model S in 2015 was delivered to my home as there is no store/service...

Rail - NO. There is the Alaska Marine Highway (ferry) system that is a possibility for taking your CT to Alaska and back. Southern port would be Bellingham, Washington. Northern port for the trip would be Whittier, Alaska. Alaska Marine Highway It should be noted that it is a SLOW trip as...

As a former Alaska resident who has driven the AL-Can twice, I can see the appeal of your plan. Unfortunately due to the extreme remoteness of much of the area I doubt there will be reasonable charging opportunities anytime in the foreseeable future. :mad: I don't know your camping...

My current plan is to have the Cybertruck as a second vehicle. I really only need one vehicle, so I am undecided about keeping or selling my Model S. There is also the possibility that I might decide the wait for delivery is too long and that I really do not need the CT so might cancel my...

In answer to the original question and relative to what I recall reading here and there, I believe there are at least 3 items that could affect when one gets the chance to complete their order and take delivery of a CT: order of reservation; variant (single/dual/tri motor) and trim options. I...

Great idea! (y) I have never seen any "services" at superchargers other than the rarely seen trash barrel. Thus I doubt there will ever be any windshield cleaning facility at supercharger locations other than the suggested possibility of someone offering the service for a few $$. And that...

As this is a pure speculation thread, I will put in my $0.0005 worth. :sneaky: To me it appears that Giga Austin is about 3-4 months from trial production of Model Y. The 4680 cell manufacturing portion of the plant appears more like 8-10 months from initial production and the "Bobcat Project"...

Personally, I doubt there will be a plaid CT as the only "performance" metrics commonly associated with trucks is towing and load carrying capacities. And CT already has impressive numbers in those categories. Further the 0-60 time of the tri-motor variant is already very impressive for a truck.

While I think any update on the CT or the cyber ATV would be wonderful (and overdue), I doubt that will happen. I hope I am wrong (again). ;)

With the current lack of any official specs on the production CT, I think it is impossible to say if I will finalize an order or cancel my reservation. At this time there is far too much we do not know about the production CT's specs or possible options.

The real reason the hacking group is mad at Elon is that their main assets are in bitcoin and stupid bitcoin traders are overreacting to Elon's tweets.

While I agree with the general assumption that until reservations are satisfied, Cybertrucks could become an appreciating asset. However I doubt the 250k/yr production figure in part because I have not seen that stated anywhere other than in this thread. Further if the supply chain issues...
