I was wrong

[CyberSleuth]

I'm with you. I'm still reeling from the sticker shock too. It's a disappointing day.

I am a second day reservation holder for the tri motor.

I would be happy with the specs for the duel motor, however I live in Canada and they don't even have a price on the Canadian website- I am not sure what this means.

In Canada we don't get the 7500 grant (BC and Quebec have grants) and Tesla charges above the exchange rate, usually 1.4 x the USD so on 80 k USD we are looking at $112 K CAD and then 13% taxes = $126 k CAD!!!

I also have a reservation for the silverado and sierra so will wait and see who has the best mileage but I would prefer to buy a tesla.

Something to ponder: If the new $7500 tax credit didn't exist, and the All-wheel-drive model was MSRP at $72,500, would you be as upset about the pricing?

Good point.

If it had 500 mile range, I would buy it now at that price.

The listed price for new orders does not confirm price for reservists. Has reservist prices been confirmed?

I don't think the price for reservists has been confirmed. When we set our reservation and paid our deposit we opened an agreement or contract. Elon made an offer, we accepted. I think that is legally binding. Ok there is and was inflation, the pandemic, shortages and everything you want, but Elon is bound by his promises. I have to say that he offers and produces outstanding products. That does not exempt him from respecting a contract. I would say give poor Elon a chance but Elon is not so poor. He was made to respect his promises with Twitter, he must learn to limit his over-promising or pay the price of doing so.

I believe there is language that allows price variance. Tesla should rely less on sensationalism of their products and be more honest, particularly with the time allotment in this situation. I would feel less affronted. If the product is superior it will sell.

Similar for us. I was going to get FSD, but now if I move forward with Cybertruck I wont. Originally I was going to trade in our Model 3, but my wife's car got totalled so our goal changed to keep the Model 3 and just get the Cybertruck with no trade in. We can still do that, but its now right up to the edge of what I can afford and that gives me pause.

I just went ahead and booked an appointment to test drive a Lightning XLT that is going for 55k (mid 40s after incentives they are listing) to see what I think. That is a pretty bare bone model but way better value. There are certain things I think I will like about it, and certain things I think I will dislike (Range, Charging, Infotainment).

Um, just go test drive a CT. Compare. Try to come up with the $$$. Good luck. Mac
