"Prepare for Delivery" Email Received for RN11278xxxx (Cybertruck Foundation Series Cyberbeast AWD)! 😱

[Armyintel96b]

I ordered the tri. Res 11311 and I'm in Texas. Hoping to get an invite soon. I wonder how many people will try and flip their CT. I've been watching AutoTrader and Ebay and haven't seen any yet.

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

Of course not, but they don't have to iterate every base 10 digit the same and they may not be allocating reservations for every single enumeration of a count.

Fact is no one knows the reservation number schema except Tesla and they could have it setup for skipped or reserved numbers or who knows what. They might even have an algorithm to allocate reservation numbers from a block of numbers, or they may be skipping certain groups.

But it's a good bet they have at least 2 million orders, and Tesla may just have a schema that spreads those 2 million across the block of numbers. Either way, it's a good bet that the person with a RN116xxxxxx is further down the distributed list than someone with RN112xxxxxx.

Interesting, I have an earlier RN than you and I haven't heard anything yet. Congrats!

Same.

It's usually within weeks. Didn't the email specify?

With other vehicles - ones not in a launch ramp - you'd get specific dates.

When I got the Tesla E-mail for my M3 in 2018, once accepted, they sent me a separate e-mail with a range of delivery date.

Seems similar to the model 3 launch. They did California first and random reservations.

When I saw that people with RNs in the 20K range were getting invites my hopium went crazy. I figured that if that many places of RNs had passed on the option or didn't fit the criteria, then maybe there is a chance that my number would come up sooner than expected (and that has moved off to the future at least 6 months beyond where I had earlier hoped). But I haven't seen any updates where the upper RN has moved beyond that number by much. Maybe Tesla really is only going to have a few Foundation Series CTs.

Hmm, I just checked the order tracker again and there is someone in MD that has an RN very close (even slightly higher) than mine. I am in the RN1130 range. It would be wonderful to have the option to configure but it is becoming clear that the algorithm Tesla is using isn't sequential. I am going to let my hopium remain for now.

Did everyone who configured get the prepare for delivery email? Received Saturday 5am

I ordered last night 12/10 and recieved a "prepare for delivery" today 12/11 early morning. I'm in CA.

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, and have been (but...I'm in socal). I still think it's a lottery

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.

IMO, if you can't afford to put at least 20% down on a vehicle, you probably shouldn't buy it. And for sure the market for $100k+ vehicles is small compared to $40k vehicles.

How far down did the X go from the initial price? Can we expect a bigger drop on the CT? I don't have the answer, but I suspect it will be similar.

I ordered Friday night and got the email Saturday morning. Been stuck at this stage of the steps.

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.

It's been 6 months since I took delivery of a Y but I received my 'prepare for delivery' notice and it was delivered 2 weeks later. As others have said, I'm not sure if a launch vehicle such as this changes the time frame.

No reason to flip, Turo is your best friend. I made a %15 return off MSRP in the first year of my Model Y, just by casually renting it out (maybe 10% of the time). I suspect that the demand for the Cybertruck will far exceed the Model Y.

Cant flip it. At least not the first 12 months. Not sure on how to gnerate income with it through things like TURO. So I doubt you'll see CTs in auto trader or the likes anytime soon

How long ago did you rent your model y on Turo?
How was your experience on Turo?

This is strange how Tesla process early reservation (My RN11275xxxx) holder. I have lower reservation for the Tri-motor and have not been contacted by Tesla for a founder version. All they sent me was an offer to get a $1000 of for other cars while I wait for my CT. I am in California by-the-way
