    Elephant in the room, Cybertruck price…

    Like many things, you are going to get sticker shock when trying to buy a new truck and CT prices seem pretty reasonable. Most new trucks are going to be $70K+ if they have a similar finish out to what the CT will likely have. Heck, I even saw a F150 going for $105k?!? For comparison, use...

    Poll: How many preorders will turn into orders?

    While I agree with you, this price increase is not just Tesla. I just had to buy a F150 and it was nearly double what I have ever paid for a car in the past. Ford dealers are selling most trucks before they even get to the lot, Tesla will take years before they can catch up to demand, and...

    Poll: How many preorders will turn into orders?

    My guess is that it will be 25-50% based on the length of time people have been waiting and that the $100 refundable deposit is pretty non-committal. I also think that 1 future customer could have a reservation for all 3 configurations and skew the numbers. Regardless of the actual number, I...

    Factory pick-up in lieu of delivery [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Franklins is supposed to be the best in town currently. The line forms hours before they actually open, and they do not let you cut in line, just ask Yeezy :) The Salt Lick was my favorite when I lived in Austin, but it is a fierce BBQ market and the best is always changing...

    Does the Delivery Situation in Texas Affect Country-wide Delivery?

    Yep, pretty stupid to have absurd laws that impact a company spending $billions in your state and employing thousands of people. We are usually very business friendly which has contributed tremendously to our economy and property values aver the last 5-10 years. It is disappointing to hear we...

    Does the Delivery Situation in Texas Affect Country-wide Delivery?

    I bet we have 30 Teslas in our neighborhood and they didnt all have to go out of state to buy. When talking to one of them they said their purchase was handled as an "online out of state" transaction at the Tesla dealer vs being sold directly through the local TX Tesla dealers. Once their car...

    Paying cybertruck with credit

    That is not true, Tesla would be the one having to pay the merchant fees, which could be $1,000+ if you put the full CT on a credit card. That is why many car dealers and other large purchases usually have a max amount that they will put on your card. Nobody has mentioned a published policy...

    Paying cybertruck with credit

    Here is an article about someone who bought a model 3 on a credit card. It states that Tesla would not allow him to buy the car directly with the credit card, but he used a 3rd party called Plastiq that charged him 2.5% to do the transaction. That $1,470 fee was worth it since he received...
