Carpool to Texas?

[Gvardaman]

I have been thinking it would be fun to go to Texas to pickup my Cybertruck when it is ready. Then, I would drive it back to California. This would be more fun in a convoy of Cybertrucks, but the logistics seem like they would be tough to work out. I don’t know if there will be a large enough window of time for pickup to allow a few people to take delivery at the same time.

Anyway, I thought this could be a place for us to post delivery dates when the time comes, to try to coordinate such excursions...

Haha! Point taken!

If I go, I will agree to limit my stay to a brief tour, purchase of a nice hat and boots and get my Cybertruck out fast before I have too much influence over the native population.

Elio was going to pick you up at the airport. Of course, Elio was going to produce a vehicle too.

I flew to Idaho to pick up my Jeep Rubicon that I ordered and drove it back to Arizona with my wife and two of the kids. Had a great time and spent the night near Area 51. I highly recommend a road trip like that. You get to know your vehicle very well after a couple days behind the wheel.

Count me in if our trucks are completed around the same time. I am sure we could post a thread with expected delivery dates to allow members to coordinate a fly in/drive home caravan at different weeks throughout the year. Driving a pack of CT’s back to CA with other CT enthusiasts would be a great experience!

You all are aware that current Texas state laws prohibit direct from manufacturer sales? You may have to pick it up in Oklahoma or another state. I'm here in Kansas and with similar laws I had to go to a Missouri Tesla location (albeit only 50 feet from the KS state line) to pick up my Model Y.

They prohibit sales in Texas. Not deliveries. So in Texas right now, a Texas buyer 'buys' the car in New Mexico and then has it delivered to a showroom or service center in Texas. The staff in Texas can't talk about pricing.

And moreover, alot of us are from out of state and that wouldn't apply at all!

I'm in, but can t seem to find my Reservation number for an estimate of delivery. Hasn't been important as the way things were going with production; .I'd most likely be dead a decade before the delivery date. 4+ years waiting now.
