$59k Base Dual-Motor AWD Cybertruck Begin Delivery!

[HaulingAss]

This is my basic cyber truck next 10 days delivery . but I don’t see floor carpet inside, Elon musk is so cheap

You think Elon Musk is cheap? I don't understand people who think like this, considering he's trying to get the price point of the Cybertruck down to a level that more people can afford. Don't forget, considering it's clad in thick, tough and very expensive cold-rolled 300 series stainless steel alloy with boosted chromium levels for additional corrosion resistance so it never needs paint or other coatings. It comes standard with 35" tires, premium active dampers that adjust for conditions, premium sound system (even if they did remove a few speakers to get the price down), advanced steer-by-wire system with unsurpassed maneuverability, a tough composite bed that needs no bedliner, an electric tonneau cover strong enough for a workman to walk on (and that disappears at the touch of a button), motorized hood, two electric motors with crazy torque and performance, front and rear mechanical lockers for off-road capability and slippery hill-climbing ability, and Tesla's industry leading UI and software.

I probably left out some goodies too, but this is the kind of stuff that most vehicles don't even have (and if they do, you're going to pay through the nose to get it included).

And you think Elon is cheap for figuring that owners can source their preferred mud mats cost-effectively when they have the money or their partner isn't counting? The features listed above are anything but cheap. Considering the quality and the price-point, I would say Elon is insanely generous! Maybe your cup is just half-full?

Tesla has not been providing floor mats on their low-cost or entry versions of many of their vehicles for a while. While it's still not cheap, the $59k SAWD is an entry version. Most end up buying better, all-season mats anyway.

I think you forgot FSD. One of the best things about Teslas (and the only system on the market with this level of capability).

FSD is why I got into Teslas in the first place and don't see myself driving anything else.

I luckily got both mat versions with the Foundation so I have the carpet set I never used.

Last minute jitters, and I definitely don’t want to start a new thread, but here’s the discussion we keep having in my household.

Long story shorty, I didn’t expect the truck to be here so quickly. Therefore, I purchased another vehicle earlier this year , 1/2 ton truck (RAM) and honestly love it. I didn’t expect to like it so much. Plenty of power, extremely comfortable and a ton of storage. Honestly more comfortable than the CT. I will have to take a small hit on it, which I’m not a fan of.

I guess I’m asking to help convince me this is the right move lol. I have 5 hours to make my final decision.

I tried playing with the numbers but the lowest offered rate is 6.53%. As someone previously said, Tesla probably figured the peasant CT buyers will likely need to finance their purchase, and it’s an easy way to squeeze out every penny from the buyers.

Huh? Even "peasant CT buyers" can finance through their own bank or credit union. Tesla has no particular leverage over how you finance your purchase. Do you think new truck buyers are ignorant of the basics?

I have escaped the budget sucking vampire prison of gasoline and oil changes every 5k miles. God speed.

Navy Federal Credit Union 3.89% 36 months. Approved within 1 hour and check overnighted. I told them I don’t need the money yet but they sent it anyway as it’s good for 6 months. Also refinanced another car at 4.75% 36 months. Of course all depends on your credit rating and relationship to a family member serving or has served in the military.

Have you ever owned an electric car? This CT will be my 4th Tesla since 2018. I drive nothing else. My wallet thanks me. The CT might not be as plush as some of these other trucks, but it makes up for it in other ways. It has better efficiency than a Toyota Prius, insanely quick for its size, capable off road, great for camping and adventures with on board power, FSD, etc. The loss you take will work itself out in the wash with fuel savings, no oil changes, etc. I am keeping this truck for many years and hope to pass it to my son as his first vehicle. I’m taking a loss on my hardware 3 2023 Model Y and rolling it in at the $59k price. So now at $69k it doesn’t feel bad at all.

Thanks. I had a model y performance previously. Loved it, needed a truck.

Personal finance is personal, this is a decision you and your family need to make together, not with us Tesla fan boys.

That said, look at the overall cost of overship over x time. Even with the hit on selling the Ram, it may work in your favor. The math should help.

 

[SlyvesterTesler]

Two years to recoup “loss” when considering gas only. After that, it’s a win for the CT.

everyone is different. typically, unless you are having issues with your current auto the best decision is to keep running what you have. if you want it and have the $ go for it. I bought an RHO one week before the 59k was offered (ordered anyway). I love the RHO and don't want to get rid of it yet. I'm probably going to let the 59k order go and get a PAWD in a few years. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a free lifetime supercharging offer???

You ordered on 2/20, basically day 1 (it went live evening of the 19th), when the estimated delivery date was June.

It's now mid/late June. When did you expect the truck to be here?
