I'm trying to figure the rhyme or reason to the seemingly random RN order. Certainly Tesla is picking folks who live near TXGF or CA Design Studio so they'll be close by if there needs to be a hardware update, but I wonder if some of the jumping around is to get people who locked in the $7K FSD originally to in essence, pay a higher amount for FSD by bundling it in to an early release, take-it-or-leave-it package?

Has anyone who DIDN'T indicate FSD on their original reservation been invited to buy the Founder's Series? 🤔
I didn’t reserve FSD. I did reserve the tri motor tho

That means you clicked even later than those with RNs 112XXXXXX thru 115XXXXXX.

There is no way the Cybertruck has 4 million orders, especially in mid-late 2020

Damn, buzz killer. That’s it I’m changing my location to my corporate office in California.
Keep us posted how that works out. I don't want a foundation series. But as soon as they drop that, I'll be looking for a new "residence" in Austin, for my address. I am happy to fly in to town, and pick it up, and then drive home to FL. My local delivery center had one of the display models, so its safe to assume they will be one of the early service centers trained to service it. Since the had them on display in Tampa, Miami, and Orlando, FL may not be real far behind CA and TX for deliveries anyway.

Given this is Q4, be prepared to potentially take delivery by end of year. Tesla will want to realize as much revenue as they can before 2024.
Very true. I hope they hit their 1.8 million units goal. It’s rough out there with those interest rates. We need Tesla financing.

Hello, I received "Prepare for Delivery" email at 5:00am this morning. This will be my first Tesla, Does anyone know what the time frame is from this point? Thanks.

Reservation number: RN11278xxxx (reserved within first 5 minutes on concept reveal date - 11/21/19).

I got the Foundation Edition invite at 7:30Pm Friday (12/8/23). I accepted the AWD on Saturday morning and paid the $250.00. I completed the Registration info, loan info, etc on the Tesla app. This morning I got the email posted.

Hmm! I wonder why I was not contacted yet. My RN # is 112745xxx which is below your reservation #. Maybe they are hitting up the Tri motor original order reservations. Mine was originally for the Dual motor version.

Yeah, you are TX so would think you will receive an invite.

It was $100 and IFIRC it was opened globally.

I'd say that domestically I will be surprised if 10% of the reservations actually convert to orders.

The vast majority of people rely on bank financing to make auto purchases and many times they have no money down or are even upside down on another car they purchased.

With no money down and a 72 month loan a dual motor CT is $1400 a month, plus insurance (which will probably be astronomical) plus electricity which will be 50% higher than a different Tesla vehicle for the same driving. Plus $350 a piece tires, etc.

So call it "all in" at $1600 or more a month.

How many people can even afford that?

Elon knows it's a problem too which is why he said the #1 priority with CT after production ramp is finding ways to make it more affordable for customers.
