No, I understand perfectly. There is no grand-fathered group. Either you have entered the final stages of purchase or you haven't. If you have not, you are getting hit by the price increase. There are plenty of people who pre-ordered in 2018 that are not grand-fathered into the original price.
You are not getting your Cybertruck in 2021. Based on your RN number you are somewhere around the 780k mark. You maybe able to get it, depending on region and cancellations, sometime in mid-2023.
Here's one: https://www.metrorestyling.com/wrap-vinyl-s/23.htm
You can even find it on Amazon and many other retailers. The key is finding one you like out of all of the choices.
The $100 is just a "hold my spot in line" kind of thing. There is nothing else due until you build and confirm your order - sometime in 2022'ish. The $100 will go towards the deposit when you confirm your order, the deposit will most likely be around $2,500 or so. At that point in time Tesla...
1. This is most likely a final design. With the "Vault" closed you will need to use the camera to see behind you.
2. We are all waiting to see what is in store, there is a lot of speculation going on in this department.
3. This is correct.
4. 120V is slow charging for all EVs - a simple fact...
Couple of things....
A happy Tesla is a plugged in Tesla.
Tesla recently released as part of a software update the ability to set a time for departure and the car will wake up ahead of time and charge the battery to help preheat it ahead of time. You can also manually do it from the app on...
When you finalize the order process and start the build process, you usually pick where you want to pick it up. Also, prior to delivery your sales person will reach out to you to confirm where you will take delivery of your unit. When I purchased my 3 I had the choice of home delivery as well...
1. No. You are, usually, better off joining a Credit Union to get really competitive rates. Some even offer discounted rates for EV purchases.
2. Most likely once you have the option to fully configure the CT you will need to put down $2,500 to lock it in and start the build process.
3. Tesla...
You totally missed the conversation. The person I was responding to was talking about how it would take 10+ hours to recharge the LR CT. There was no discussion about anything else. While you raise some valid points when it comes to charging, that is irrelevant to the OP's concern.
To touch on the OP's questions.
The 2170 cells in the Model 3 are not compatible with the Model S & X battery packs that take the 18650 cells. I'm sure Tesla could make the necessary changes to make it work, it's just not a solution that is available at the moment.
There is no guarantee that...
All the FSD option is is locking in the price with the pre-order. You do not put $7k down today; thus there is no "loan" as you call it to Tesla. When you go to actually order your Cybertruck you can choose to buy it for $7k or not at that time. If you did not lock in the price, your only option...
How often are you going to drive 500 miles round trip everyday where you need to fully charge it everyday........................................
For instance, a 90 mile round trip with spirited driving and starting at 90% SoC will usually get me home at around 52% SoC. I only need to charge...
You have the option in the car and via the app to set the charging limit. In the car you can set a window to charge in (TOU rates) or you can set a departure time and the vehicle will start charging so that it is complete by the time of your scheduled departure.
I have a 50A circuit coming off of a sub panel to a HPWC; my Model 3 charges at 40A and I get 37 miles per hour. Depending on your daily commute will determine what you need. If it wasn't for the fact that I drive 2x days a week 90 miles round trip a 110v outlet would meet my needs.
So...
