I was so thrilled to get an invitation to order a CT Foundation that I immediately placed my order! After some reflection and mainly talking to my wife, realized I might have acted too soon.
I tried to call Tesla to see what my options were, but couldn’t get any person on the phone (after many tries). I left several messages to call me back, but no response. Today I drove to the nearest service center to talk to a real person. It was 130 miles each way. They were very helpful. They put my order on hold until December. That way I kept my $100 & $1000 deposits and didn’t have to place a new order for CT and go to end of the line. Hopefully by then they will be selling only the regular CT’s without all extra Foundation stuff I don’t want or need. I can renew the hold 4 more times if necessary to keep my place in line and not have to buy the Foundation Series

They will be selling the Foundation Series but it wont be your turn for 2~3 Years. Oh by then the economy will be better and the price hike will be in place for inflation. You may save $3~5K from the current price, and that's because you opt not to take the FSD.

That's the reality!

Cheers!

You may be right, but I won’t be at the very end of the line and have to wait four or five years and I’ll still be married.
Life is short.. I may not be around in 2 yrs. Money can be earned, but money can't buy me time.

Cheers!!

Lol. Hopefully.

You might be close to the end of the line. 2022 reservation?

It would seem by December there should be more definition on when non-FS orders will be taken and wait time. Hopefully prices will be revealed and you can decide accordingly.

That is only your personal projection.

No one knows how long it will take to burn through existing reservations up to any particular point or how the Cybertruck pricing will change over time, not even Elon knows that.

But I bet he would disagree the scenario you have projected is the most likely. Of course, that's just my opinion.

There, I fixed that for you.

At the annual meeting last week Elon revealed that non-Foundation sales will begin soon. That's good news for people waiting for non-Foundation, bad for people hoping to snag a Foundation before Tesla goes back to the front of the reservation line.
