If Quad Motor Cybertruck is $89,900, are you still in?

I thought 906 was your rally car number so people could identify you as well when you're driving down the course as they could when you're upside down in the ditch.

I don't see a need for a quad motor, I want the tri motor for the 500 plus miles of range on a charge.

Agree, 500 miles is my basic common sense requirement too

But I also see a definite need for those 'hold my beer' moments

"So yes, we do have orders under the assumption of price. Changing the price will hurt Tesla's PR and probably their stock price."

That is your mistake thinking this was an order. Unlike every other Tesla, there are only Pre-orders for the Cybertruck.. Pre-orders were to gauge interest and never guaranteed any production or price. I think there's a 95% chance Tesla is working toward producing the Cybertruck again after 2 years on the back burner. Given known issues with getting 4680s into mass production (hopefully there in another year) and then the chip shortages, it only made sense to delay the Cybertruck production past 2022-2023 early industry expert predictions. I think there's a 5% chance they'll honor some original prices very short term. Most likely they'll be a significant price increase from the start. If the it prices a few people out of the market, the demand will keep it sold out for years.
Tesla would be foolish to turn it into a huge money loser to please a small percent of unrealistic dreamers.

Tesla explicitly calls reservations 'pre-orders' and this is the same method they used to reserve all their unreleased models.
