No, the unveil prices were not promised. That was what Tesla expected the prices to be when they started making and selling the Cybertruck. If you know anything about Tesla history with all of their vehicles, you know that they unveil them years before they actually make them and things change...
I'd go for a dual motor as long as the two motors are separate in the front and rear to allow AWD. I wouldn't want a Plaid-style rear dual motor and no front motor because I want my Cybertruck to be able to handle deeper snow.
Log into your Tesla account here https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount and look at the silhouette of the Cybertruck. Right below it is the reservation number, it starts with "RN".
If you are talking about the Google spreadsheet tracker, remember that it's something a person put together to try and estimate delivery dates. It's not made by nor endorsed by Tesla, and all the data in it is put in by individual users. So if your reservation does not show up, it means you...
An additional motor has always been a $5k option for Model S and 3. I don't expect the newer motors to be more than that because Tesla is actually making the motors smaller and more efficient. I don't know if Tesla will charge for the AWS, but another steering rack and linkages for the rear...
Edit: didn't know about Elon's announcement off the quad-motor Cybertruck. Oh snap! But things can still change, so wait for a detailed roadmap. Tesla can possibly produce multiple trims simultaneously and might not have to phase them in . Keep that in mind when reading my comment.
We don't...
I agree that the others will not have the scale of Tesla, which means even more that lost sales to them won't matter much to Tesla. As far as the others not being a good option because they aren't work trucks, that depends on what the buyer is getting it for. The only reasons I want the...
Rivian actually used the 2170 cell form factor just like Tesla does for the Model 3/Y. And they have been testing their battery tech for many years. I bet they will be just fine.
If you really want the Trimotor and if Tesla makes that one first, just change your earliest reservation with the lowest number to a Trimotor. Bad thing is if you reserved with FSD at $7k, it would change that to the current price.
Lost sales to other EV brands might not matter much if Tesla can't keep up with demand, and if they really want people to transition to EVs like Elon Musk has said.
Do you have a reservation on a Cybertruck? If you do, look at the pre-order agreement. It clearly states that the pre-order price is an estimate and will be confirmed when you put in the actual order. And that it's subject to change. There will be no lawsuits over price changes.
This depends on what state or country you live in. In Nebraska (where I live) Tesla is not allowed to sell cars, nor to have service centers. When I bought my Model 3 more than 3 years ago I had to go to Kansas City, Missouri to pick it up at a Service Center. I had already wired the payment...
For Model 3, early sales (2017) to reservation holders that were not employees were prioritized by location and previous ownership of a Tesla. A lot of the first owners were close to California and to people that already owned another Tesla.
I'm in a similar position and that's the only thing that will keep me from buying a Cybertruck. I really, really want it. But don't really need it. My Tesla Model 3 is paid for and does everything I need including tow small utility trailers when I need to take stuff to my Dad's house 3 hours...
Here's some info based on the Model 3.
On March 31st, 2016 Tesla unveiled the Model 3. It stated that it would start at $35,000, have at least 215 miles of range, and that first deliveries would be at the end of 2017. Tesla hit all those targets. The only point of contention would be that...
The way Tesla had done this in the past for previous vehicles is that they honor the price of options when you put in your reservation. They could possibly force you to accept a higher price for FSD later if you change the configuration (i.e. going from Single motor to Dual motor). But past...
Tesla does not provide financing directly, but partner up with a bank like US Bank to provide financing. So the terms would be up to the bank.
If the ordering process is like the Model 3 was like at first, once your number is called you have priority over newer orders (for the most part)...
