POLL: Cybertruck Pricing

[CyberGus]

Those who reserved after withdrawal of the price list have no expectations whatsoever. Zip, zilch, nada. The sky is the limit for their pricing.

Those who reserved early were in no no way guaranteed that price, as specified in the terms. But veering away violently from those estimates destroys goodwill, generates bad publicity, and overall is a bad look for Tesla.

I expect "special pricing" (modest increase) for those reservers that did so under the price list, and significantly higher for those afterward.

I would like for the early reservation holders to get free super charging for life or FSD waved if price is affected with an increase. These things Tesla can do and has proven they can from past. I do wonder if prices were removed, that a decision was made at that point to mark where they will start price increases.

Free super charging is long gone and never coming back.

No way in hell I can see the prices are grandfathered in from 2019. When Model Y is like 15k more than when it was released. At this point, I'm hoping the increase is only $10k more than 2019 prices.

Law overrides terms.

I'd assume the terms were drafted by a legal team.

dream of electronic sheep.

Seriously, I just want to know what the prices will be and what Tesla plans to ask for the quad motor. Also, would love to know more about status of cyber quad and what Tesla’s plans and price as well.

I can see Tesla honoring the FSD price for reservation holders who ordered before they removed pricing.

Too much time has passed and a lot of other crap went down since the unveil almost 3 years ago. I mean, a global pandemic that caused a goods production collapse, which resulted in world-wide shipping disruptions... tipping off a component shortage for manufacturers...

...all of which triggered a global recession/inflation cycle.

And people are like...

Even in good economic times a 3 year hold on the price for something like a vehicle is a long shot. These times? not a chance.

The realistic perspective regarding the price increase is "how much?", not "will it?". That's just the way it is, and to expect otherwise is setting yourself up for a letdown. I'll stand by something I've been saying—There may be a nice surprise that the CT may not be as expensive as we think it could be.

Tesla may attack the segment so that they leave zero-doubt in the KING-of-the-EV-trucks discussion. They should dominate with something like, >25% more range than everyone else and way better specs across the board. Then have the price only be about 10% more expensive than the competition to trigger buyer's remorse for people who chose to buy other trucks. That way, if there are some oopsies in initial build quality, a lot gets forgiven because they have monster specs.

It's not a 'three year hold'.

The price was supposed to be the price just nine months ago. 9 months is smaller than 3 years. By alot.

They promised FSD, and it's software. They'll be criminally liable if they break that promise.

There's wriggle room on the options, the MSRP with new specs, etc.

Why isn't that an option in the poll? You gotta have known I'd be a stickler.

If everyone stop talking about changing price for the CT it would stay the same so stop that talk and let it go.

The more things change. The more they stay the same.

Yeah, Tesla likes to use things which are cheap or free for them as incentives or for discounts.

Giving 50% off FSD might cost Tesla a bit of lost sales, but it is software and FSD sales are pure margin. It’s an easy give.
