11282*** just got email. Having a hard time dropping 80k when I got a 40k Lightning Pro (duel motor 450 Hp). Cybertruck duel is insane looking, but is that worth double???🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
I am a 11282 also. You got an email inviting you to order a CT?

Why does this seem so odd to people?

Makes perfect sense if you’re going to be waiting another year or two

or if instead, this is corporate speak for “maybe today you decided you don’t want a CT…”

🤣

Ford honored the reservation prices, wonder why Tesla will not do the same.
because Ford has actual reservations for an actual truck they had built? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tesla had pre-order ‘agreements’ for an aspirational product they were going to build

I never got one. I honestly don’t think the wait will be that long. I think the price went to far and a lot of people will drop out. I’m getting it but going through sticker shock right now.
I just don’t understand why yall didn’t see the price jumping. There’s been 20% increase in inflation since the pandemic. It just wouldn’t have been possible not to raise prices.

Got the same email just now.

Note: I didn't get the email until I went to my Tesla account profile and allow Tesla to send me newsletter and other emails.

Edit: My RN is in the RN113s.
So is mine and too got one
The RN116 and a RN112 who both received tells me all I need to know: Tesla doesn't think I'm special 😕

I got one so maybe everyone did.
I think it may just be people that forked out another $250 today in a desperate effort to secure our hopes of a CT. I know you mentioned that you placed another order and so did i and we both got the email. I was so quick to place another order today i bet i was within the first 100 that did, but based on the reservation number probably number 2,000,001 in the grand scheme of things. Fortunately i still am holding a reservation around 12k for the dual motor, if that even means anything anyway.

Meanwhile EV prices have actually come down. Including Tesla's. So that excuse doesn't really cut it.

Received the email too. Only issue is HighLand Model 3 won’t be here for a while, and we have been suffering with a crappy Model Y in the fleet for a while.

Also, Honda would easily give me $1000 off instant without asking.

It's not a private link, so everything is on the main site.

Here's a few examples of things they never showed before.

NOT happy with this one. Why use the bed to hold a spare?

A bed for the spare in a pickup is not an outlandish idea. It’s been done quite a bit with off-roading vehicles and trucks.
