Open market is where we all live. Depreciation after taking delivery of a new automobile is standard. Flipping a new vehicle for a windfall is a rarity.

Tesla has no obligation, but it is the process. Once Tesla declines, and the other terms are met, then the owner is free to sell on the open market.

The devil is in the details and the personalities of the partners. But there is no doubt that the “Sharing Economy” is here to stay. There are lovers and detractors of AirBNB, Uber, Freedom Boat Club, NetJets, etc. No one can deny that it is trending. But, not for everyone. Robotaxi sounds like...

I bet there are a few people who sold their 500+ shares to financially prepare for their CT. Now they are ineligible to jump the queue.

Maybe anyone who has ever watched a SpaceX launch could jump ahead of reservation holders? Anyone who has driven The Boring Co. Las Vegas Loop could get preferential delivery of a CT? What about being allowed to jump the queue if you lost money holding TSLA stock in the last six months? Class...

That is true up until the product is sold. Downline encumbrances are anti-competitive and difficult to enforce. If Elon is upset over CT flips, then he should have priced the truck closer to the demand price. If Tesla doesn’t like the optics, then accelerate the production pace. The closer...

Low supply and high demand. This resale was a one-off. Three years from now, just like the Hummer EV and the Lightning, you will be able to pick CTs up at normal resale values. Elon will not raise the price. He will lower it. Just like he has with Tesla cars. First, he has a Giga factory that...

Has any one looked into forming an LLC for purpose of trading reservation numbers? I think it could be structured with protections for both parties and not run afoul to Tesla rules.

A once in a lifetime opportunity should not be thrown away. What about a partnership? Your dad, brother, 2 or 3 friends, colleagues, wealthy folks you have met…surely there is a creative solution that could meet your budget AND let you drive the coolest truck on the road one weeekend a month...

Regardless, there is a cost to any alternative. The rental car, mileage added to your second vehicle, bum a ride from a colleague, have your wife drives you to work, or hijack her car and she walks the kids to school, etc.. There is a cost. Is that cost less than a Tesla same-day trade-in? 🤷‍♂️...

But are you better off? Maybe not if you need to rent an interim vehicle.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Be sure to post a pic of yours, so we can rip it a new one!

There is a hefty cost to being an early adopter. With time and competition, the price to wrap will come down significantly. Tell me again the current purchase price of the Foundation Edition Beast? Similar to wrapping, is that supply/demand or blatant gouging? Asking for a friend!

Dedicated charging time for a robo taxi is lost revenue. Anything that can reduce unproductive time (charging while in a taxi line up, in-road on-the-fly conductive, etc) will most likely be profitable, even if that innovative charging is more expensive than lot charging. Time is money. Even...

and it comes with white interior.

Tesla is after high-volume mass-market. The fact that the Cybertruck can haul a load of 2x4s and/or pull a trailer is a nice utility. But if you require a true tow vehicle or you regularly load 1000 lbs of pea gravel in the bed…go order an appropriate vehicle. The sure sign this truck is NOT a...

If you agree that 2024 will include a mild recession AND that a Founder CT will slightly appreciate in value: - sell your stock, buy Founder CT with cash - after one year and one day (keep mileage low), sell Founder CT @ auction for profit. - buy back shares at recession discount - purchase your...

Read the survey…it was a survey of NON-RESERVATION persons….i.e. general population. 20+% of people who do not currently hold a reservation gave a positive affirmation to Cybertruck. That is awesome. 👏

Your comment is the upside. First, what about if your circumstances change? Loss of job; death in family; new roof needed; moving to Hawaii; just don’t like the CT; etc. Your asset should be yours to do with as you see fit. Secondly, it doesn’t make supply/demand sense. It should be a ICE OEM...
