I think a low conversion number is perfectly to be expected with the dutch auction strategy Tesla is using. Basically Tesla pushed the demand lever as far forward as they could, and there's tons they can do to pull it back when they're ready to make more units. Prices won't stay in the...
FS just offered to me, 1127549xx , middle of nowhere Colorado (4 hours to nearest service center), so it looks like geographic location is starting to be deprioritized in the invite mix.
Yep, and your second res number is higher than my lowest one by quite a few too.
Unfortunately, @cvalue13 was completely right, "the line" is a myth. Invalidates every argument for the anti-reselling clause right there, if Tesla just picks arbitrarily who they want to sell to first.
2 million times 20% is still ~400k units. Boutique compared to current Model Y run rate, but certainly nothing to sneeze at.
I expect when (not if) demand for the primo variants of the truck start to taper off, prices for the current editions will slide, de-contented editions will be added...
Now I'm wondering if it's a way too subtle way of saying, "All the people buying the $100k Beast Mode truck are going to be skipping you in the mythical line for a year or two, so you might as well get something else".
But I might be a little extra cynical today.
I got one as well.
Chevy sending a "don't forget about the Silverado! (That you can't buy yet and the way things are going for the Ultium platform, won't be for a long long long time)" email was bad enough.
This one was straight up poor taste on Tesla's part, though.
Once again, not enough reasonable options in the poll choices. Totally depends on price/range + feature override vs competition. 350 miles range for USD$59k: Yep I'm in. 350 miles range for USD$99k: hard pass.
That thread went toxically and heavily against it's OP because the OP started with a flawed premise: That Tesla could / should / would use restrictions on buyers to try to capture more revenue.
If, and this is a huge if, Tesla actually cared to bother to grab a small percentage extra profit at...
OPs poll options are clearly biased toward a "Yes", and missing appropriate "No" reasons.
I vote No, because the free market working efficiently is more important than Tesla restricting their customers. If I decide I don't like the CT after delivery, it's MY choice what to do with my property...
