56 Cybertrucks at Fayetteville GA Dealership…

[Carnut12]

I passed on my reservation, but still have interest in a Cybertruck. I decided to book a test drive, I’m here now there are at least 40 Cybertrucks here, they have a few Foundations, but mostly none Foundations. Every wheel option, interior option, etc. Some may be for delivery, but most have a “Take me home, I’m available” sign on them.

On another note I’m glad I waited I much prefer the Tactical Gray interior and I would stick with the Base All Season wheels.

Demand has clearly come to a standing hault. I’m going to wait this out and see where this goes.

I went foundation series beast and opted for the tactical grey myself when I ordered and took delivery back in Sept. Personally felt like the white on the door just looked too out of place.

I just counted they have 56, a few Beasts too. At least half have the sign “Available”

They are going to have to mark-down these Foundations, who would pay $20K more??? They have $101K foundations and $101K Beasts in the lot, no chance anyone is buying the Foundation in that case.

To be honest its still an expensive truck for most people, I never thought they would fly off the lots, even the non FS version.

Wonder why I still have no VIN and ordered 10/11?

@ElectricT3ch Are you checking "Vehicle details" in the app? My VIN showed up there without notice. It still has my reservation number at the top in the app, but the details has the VIN.

@ChiTownCT I thought I'd see more. Around me, I see Rivians and Lightnings every single day, often times multiple Rivians in a parking lot. I almost never see CTs. Maybe once a month, or once a week at most.

CT sales numbers are good for an electric truck-- they've probably already delivered well over 30k this year. Maybe even 50k by the end of the year. That's more than any other electric truck. But for comparison, the Ford sells over 600,000 F-series trucks every year.

Is it really that pricy at $80k? There's a lot of different models that go into the "F-series", but even if we just look at the most common consumer pickup, the F-150s, there are a ton of trim levels for a crew cab (4 door truck) and many are in the $60k -$100k range. https://www.kbb.com/ford/f150-supercrew-cab/2025/

I think what hurts sales the most are:
#1 It's an electric truck. I just don't think electric trucks make much sense for long-distance towing or hauling. It takes too much time to recharge. It's fine for around-town stuff, but many people aren't ready to spend so much time charging on a long haul. My CT will be in town 95+% of the time and I never tow. So it's fine for me and others, but lots of people tow long distances and they'd prefer ICE and I think that's rational. Far and away, I think this is what limits the adoption of electric trucks. It basically takes range anxiety and increases it massively.

#2 It looks different from other trucks. Lots of people love how regular trucks look. Lots of people like paint. Fewer people dig the look of stainless steel. Not to mention the geometry. For some, the CT is "showy". To me, it's more utilitarian than the curvy, glossy painted trucks that dominate the market. It's in the eye of the beholder, and I recognize that my preference is in the minority.

Maybe a distant third factor is Elon Musk. His activities have made him a polarizing figure and inserted him into discussions of politics. I don't assume that people endorse the political positions of the CEOs of companies that make the products that they buy. But maybe it's a factor in some buying decisions.

I like the approach Tesla is taking with it. Go utilitarian. Don't try to beat the conventional trucks at their own game. Make the most durable body, easy to replace parts, easy to modify. The most durable in-town truck. The engineering is excellent as always. I think there is room for improvement in terms of fit-and-finish, and quality. And it'd be good to keep an eye on ways to improve durability. But maybe the CT can grow to become the best bang-for-the-buck in-town truck for trades and short-haul applications that require power (i.e., more power than a small truck can provide).

Picked my Beast up from this very dealership back in mid Sept. It’s been great as an owner from this point.

Wheel covers
FSD

No light bar yet but so far this truck has delivered everything I expected.

I used to see one a day when I drive to northern Atlanta and for the past month, it’s not uncommon that I see a couple of them when I’m out. Whether they stay rare or get more common, I’m happy that I have one. Best vehicle I’ve driven in years.

I’m here now there are at least 40 Cybertrucks here…

Demand has clearly come to a standing hault.

Take a calculator to the nearest Ford dealership. Count the number of unsold vehicles on the lot, multiply by the number of days in the month, divide by 0.69 and then shove the whole thing up your ass because you can’t determine anything about demand by surveying a single location without any other context!

the FSD transfer + Commercial credits is a killer deal for me. Without that, I get why it's not moving as fast.

I would love if you lived near me and we could meet up, it would be a really fun day for me.

You clearly have zero business sense. Who cares about Ford.

A year ago not one available in the whole state of GA to even look at. 6 months ago every one on dealer lots are sold units and Foundation. ADM’s used $20K plus. Fast forward to today, 56 at a very small dealership that is a HUGE drop in demand. Get a a clue dumb a$$!!

I lifted my hold on Oct 20th and got pinged few days ago. Delivery on Nov 5. Tesla msged today that it's actually already arrived. maybe it's still by res number too?

 

[Mini2nut]

I predict the Cybertruck will face a demand problem soon. The $80k + premium price point and not qualifying for the $7500 tax credit is causing potential buyers to hit the brakes.

The super low 3% conversion rate speaks volumes and I’m confident Tesla leadership has taken notice.

Solution? Tesla needs to find ways to lower the Cybertruck MSRP’s.

I am a huge Cybertruck fan. I have decided to hold off on placing an order and will watch from the sidelines for now.
