    Where are you on the reservation list?

    So is this site using the same method as the forum’s crowd sourced spreadsheet? Its awfully close to each other in terms of where I’m at in the line.

    Email received: Cybertruck reservation holders asked to buy something else "while you wait"?

    Received the email too. Only issue is HighLand Model 3 won’t be here for a while, and we have been suffering with a crappy Model Y in the fleet for a while. Also, Honda would easily give me $1000 off instant without asking.

    Can I pickup my Cybertruck at Giga Texas (factory delivery)?

    Hopefully a person or group of people asks Elon for factory delivery at Giga Texas. Waiting for years doesn’t hurt for me to pay a bit extra to experience a factory delivery and tour the factory that built said vehicle. Just hope both Tesla and Texas sees this as a way for economic growth for...

    Would you still buy the Cybertruck if it goes up in price by $10K?

    Been eyeing on few other vehicles as well, but really do want the Cybertruck. Just gotta see what the final specs are and prices. If its something out of my financial price range due to, price hikes on the MSRP, inflation, APR and other factors, then I will just go to my Honda dealer and pick up...

    Reservation order integrity

    I'm pretty sure this additional wait time will make people to defer to other brands. Ever since this additional wait time started, I went to a SoFlo Acura dealer and put down a deposit for a MDX Type-S. I am excited but just super tired of waiting. Hopefully, I get my CT in Q2 2023 unless they...

    What would prevent your purchase?

    Few things for me. 1) I got a paid off and perfect condition SUV that is one of my dream vehicles to own 2) Price (this is the biggie that will decide whether I back out or continue with the vehicle) 3) Gotta see if it fits in the garage (lengthwise) 4) Insurance premiums

    Tax Credit vs Cash for ICE clunker

    How are highways racist again? I literally don't understand how inanimate objects that has no thought, no movement, no human-like characteristics can be deemed racist, other than the idiots (politicians, local municipalities, etc.) that had viewpoints of pro-segregation and pro-racism. Also, I...

    Tax Credit vs Cash for ICE clunker

    Let's be honest here, ol' Pete has little to no clue on what he is talking about. But honestly, my answer would make it so political. I saw a few videos on the Utubes on how interstates were constructed. Unfortunately, we have a president that supports segregation and is extremely racist...

    Tax Credit vs Cash for ICE clunker

    Great idea, but unfortunately, there is a crap ton of carbon emittance on the EV side too, just not directly (it's more indirect emittance). Maybe the incentive should be a higher tax credit to buy an EV and to charge the EV with renewable resources that don't cause harm to the environment. The...

    Wow! Buying a Tesla....best experience ever! Even at the dealer and when not a preorder!

    I looked at the website especially at the Potential savings tab.. It's really backwards, but hopefully they will update it to show the Federal tax credit discount instead of gasoline savings. Either way, you are still paying 1/3 of the price for electricity under the national average of $0.129...

    Wow! Buying a Tesla....best experience ever! Even at the dealer and when not a preorder!

    Tesla needs to remove the potential savings tab. Gas prices will fluctuate day by day, and not every area has the same rate ($/kWH). Should just be straightfoward with the actual cash price, but we can't live in perfect world.

    Wow! Buying a Tesla....best experience ever! Even at the dealer and when not a preorder!

    Honestly, its why I like the Tesla version better. No unnecessary mark-ups and reasonably priced and consistent pricing throughout the country. Plus, there isn't a middle man in the transaction (i.e.: stealership); just you (the buyer/potential vehicle owner), the manufacturer, and bank (if...

    Wow! Buying a Tesla....best experience ever! Even at the dealer and when not a preorder!

    Actually, its not a generational thing at all (my father is a gen x and I'm a Gen Z/I [whatever the generation is called for my entitled generation of Homo sapiens ]). We are part of a classification known as "shrewd negotiators" on prices (Ed Bolian from VINWiki term). Its trying to get the...

    Wow! Buying a Tesla....best experience ever! Even at the dealer and when not a preorder!

    My father was shocked to learn that Tesla won't negotiate the price down one bit. He was literally about to buy a Model 3 White/White, like last minute, just like he did when he was to buy me a CPO RX350 a month after my previous car got wrecked. I actually liked the buying process, and I still...
