10 vehicles at a delivery event is like throwing a 1/2lb of spoiled Walmart deli meat to a large pack of lions. It only makes the situation worse for the miles long line of reservation holders. They all will expect their beta copy by Christmas. I'm glad I skipped that line and went somewhere else. Feels good to be driving an EV truck for over a year and a half now.
I wish I knew how you feel....but here we are, less than 12 days away from release and we still have not seen pricing or standard equipment list yet, unless I missed it......I wonder if those 10 lucky people have been advised of their good fortune yet and if they know, were they sworn to secrecy.......I am beginning to really dislike this whole stinking process.....this reminds me of the movie "take this job and shove it"....they had hundreds of cars on the line to show the owner that they made the amount necessary for keeping factory open.......then somebody closed the door and the car fell apart....I hope we are in going to be in that position with the 11th CT

two days ago yall were irrationally expecting 100 or 1000 trucks at the event

but now, having swallowed the disappointment of this 10 truck rumor…

… when the event has 30 trucks, y’all be like “wow, that’s a lot more than I was expecting!”



this Javier 10 truck rumor, Tesla really got y’all right where they want you 🤣

I was hoping it would be some outrageous number like 1,000 cybertrucks, and the trucks would get summoned, self driving to their new owners.

I only say outrageous because of the delivery of 1,000 trucks at a party in an afternoon, it's completely reasonable that Tesla could produce 1,000 trucks in the first month.
June 2023 Tesla has 10 million NMC 4680 cells ready for CT and Y production!
Now
I could be totally wrong but, that is about 600 CT that can be delivered to the public before production is halted.
You do not want to
Start production and shut down production.
10 CT is very safe number for Tesla.

The more I think about all the batteries they have/are producing coupled with Tesla no longer putting the 4680 in the model Y together with a bunch of rear then front castings being made the more I think that the 10, 20 or 30 CT delivery event is severely misleading.

It's possible they could do just 10 trucks as part of a media driven ceremony, then before you know it the #2 IDRA press is up and running, more 4680 lines are online and folks here will be posting pictures of their own CT.

It'll be on another board but there's talk of a tera press, 16 ton that'll be punching out an entire bottom of a model 2 coming to Texas. (hopefully).

Worry not! The rest 990 delivery is part of a larger figure to be delivered in December. Merry Xmass

Would some patient person kindly explain how the referral system works?
