How to up grade to Quad motor from Tri Motor AWD

[Crissa]

Yeah, I get that, but where exactly is the false advertising? Tesla doesn't advertise. CT prices were announced 4 years ago. Were Rivian, Lucid and Ford indicted for false advertising on their price changes? Even if Tesla honors the FSD lock-in pricing, they may be on solid legal ground by tying it to the trim that was originally reserved. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Literally having things on their webpage counts. A salesman speaking, counts. They don't have to pay for advertising.

And no, we're talking FSD, which Tesla explicitly promised. They explicitly promised nothing else.

They would not be on any legal ground to change the price of FSD on people who reserved Cybertrucks. Criminal and civil penalties would apply.

I placed an order back in 2019 RN1128716XX, I hope my truck gets built in the fall of 2024.
I am wondering what logistics and how many notifications will Tesla give us if I want to upgrade from Tri to Quad.

'Show me the money' ( Tesla even takes Bitcoin )
You should be able to 'Cruise' in.
Won't be 'Impossible'. That's also my mission.

Tesla will email you when you have access to the configurator. They do this in batches, until their production estimates for n weeks (n being a variable we don't know) are filled. Once they start have n for some that's unfilled, then they start opening it up to outsiders.

Sometimes you can skip ahead or fall back by changing your configuration. And outsiders can also buy orphaned vehicles - ones ordered but refused, factory reconditioned, etc.

Since none of us have configured a truck yet, it doesn't matter what we picked when we ordered - that was just a survey question, basically.

And test drives start up once they have orphaned vehicles.


No.

Tesla didn't promise a configuration yet. But they did promise FSD.

They would be criminally liable under California law for advertising something and then yanking it away. Not just civil penalties.

And heck, maybe they'd take the fine, but that could be a half a billion dollar fine, just for the orders in California.

I have posted this many times, apparently it's still needed for our newer members.

Thank you very much for clarifying. This makes me extremely happy that I reserved two cyber trucks because I never want a Tesla without full self-driving

It would be extremely disappointing and very poor form, if Tesla would not honor the original FSD price. I mean come on it’s software! incremental cost is zero and this goes to their earliest adopters - and the feature that is not even likely usable for quite some time.

I wasn't paying super close attention when the Model 3 and Y became available. Did Tesla let it be known up front on initial release/configuration day that there would be performance versions of the vehicles coming in the near future? I'm just wondering what the odds are historically of a quad/performance version of the Cybertruck being announced as "coming soon" if it isn't available at launch.

First year models were always meh, Started with LR RWD for the Model 3, and Model S didn't get AWD for a few years. So we are most likely gonna see a just enough range dual motor CT initially, with the longer range and performance models later.

 

[Crissa]

Well, the single-motor Model Y was just delayed indefinitely and all orders were canceled a year after launch. (It has come back recently in China.)

So, yeah.

That would be a criminal act of false advertising due a fine of $2400 per transaction made while the company was in California.

Like, half a billion dollars. Plus jail time for the exec. Plus civil penalties.
