what is the trick to get the rear passenger doors to open? Child lock is off. There is no place to get the key to open them. I am sure I am missing a step.

A small RV setup that could charge the Cybertruck would be awesome. The amount of solar collectors would be very large. Also having a connection from the RV to the Cybertruck when the RV is connected to power so it could also charge the truck. The volume of Cybertrucks could reach a point...

I have the same complaint. I get pinged with this forward collision warning and there is no reason. My monthly premium has increased over $50!

My Cyberbeast is supposed to be delivered between Oct and Dec. I suspect that as they phase down the FS, there will be overlap. They have had almost a year to figure out what the non FS will be in order to reduce the cost. Look for a lower base model with options.

I was surprised when I got my invitation to order. I reserved the tri-motor within a week of the roll out in 2019. The invitation says it is being offered to early reservation holders. What constitutes an early reservation holder? At any rate, I am going to buy it.

I signed up for the PowerShare. The way I read it is that we have to pay for it through a certified Tesla installer. The $2500 credit seems to apply to accessories. Anybody else trying to decide how to proceed? i am trying to decide do I invest in a powerwall. I do not have a generator, and...

I wonder if the dual has a greater profit margin than the beast?

The better way is to lease your vehicle to your business. You cannot use 100% since it will be also used for personnel use. So 60% business and 40% or 70% business and 30% personal is a good ratio. Your business then deducts all the expense, depreciation (which is huge on Tesla) plus...

The most rapid depreciating asset is technology. I have thought that Tesla vehicles should be upgradeable, but I suspect Tesla wants you to buy new stuff. The original roadsters are somewhat collectible, but there are no parts so keeping them running will be difficult. EV’s are not like ICE...

All good points.

I am assuming 50% total cancellation. Also the remaining 50% probably has 20% single motor types. We can assume 40% of the reservations are moving forward. So if you are at #200,000 on the list, there are 80,000 in front of you. Anyone else have an opinion?

Texas is one of the largest markets for Teslas. I have bought two. You to pay in full, and it comes with a California title. You have to take care of the transfer, tax and plates yourself. Tesla is hands off. I do not see why they have to ship it out of State when it has an “out of State”...

My approach would be to initially price the Cybertruck competitively to keep the momentum and excitement. You can gradually raise prices as improvements, options, and backlog grows. It is the most anticipated vehicle in the industry. Manage the market and customer loyalty; the brand will grow...

I am not sure the reason for the aggression depreciation other than the price cuts by Tesla. The Plaid is an incredible vehicle to drive. It is has a few minor warranty issues, but nothing serious. Value is always determined by market value. That being said, it means that people are not...

I also have concerns about the cost. I had a 2013 P85+. I sold it in 2021 as the warranty was about to go out on the drive train and battery. It only had 27,000 miles on it. I replaced the drive train under warranty, and the fellow that i sold it to had to replace the battery in 2022. It...

I think the trimotor reservation established a price point that buyers were willing to pay for the top end model. I wonder what percentage of the reservations are trimotor? That should indicate where the initial production will go first.

In my humble opinion, if Tesla can crush the competition on price, the Cybertruck will be a huge win for Tesla and the customer. The Cybertruck has a lot of unique features and quality materials. I believe Elon wants to show the world that through innovation in manufacturing, Tesla can deliver...

I do not think that 4 wheel steering is a cheap add. I think it will be exclusive on Tri-motor. Tesla could configure the Tri motor with it and the dual motor without. That way they can justify the Tri-motor cost. Not everyone will need the tight turning radius.

I think the battery is the one huge issue on resale. At $20k for a replacement battery, buying a used EV has a lot of risk vs. an IC. On a IC just add the gas.

My wIfe liked our 2013 P85+ better than the plaid. It had a sunroof, color coordinated interior and several options. I sold it to a friend who has upgraded the computer and screen and replaced the battery. It obviously is not as fast as a plaid, but it looks extremely nice.
