Pucker up buttercup and buy the Premium. Imagine driving down the shore this summer vs. next summer with those steely wheels.

I bet it could float on the 18" wheels with balloon tires

I think I’m gonna pre-order one hopping for a late 2027 delivery if I even decide to buy it. Kinda a hedge if I don’t buy a 2nd truck I’m out $250.

I saw the same thing last night for Orlando…

I far and away prefer the 18" steel wheels with high profile tires.

Are you Canadian? My Canadian friends all love the steel.

They filled in the blank. Order page now says "2027".

Progress!

In reality, this will be a different version of the line from the 2019 unveiling with what should/could be a higher conversion rate. There were many problems with the original order queue, not the least of which (1) some orders were five years old, people moved on and bought other vehicles in the meantime, (2) prices (thanks inflation) were much higher than originally indicated and (3) the $100 deposit was meaningless to many people - some did it just to be 'in'.

I don't foresee a 100% order fill rate, not by any stretch, but I could see something in the 15-20% range. Say 100-200K orders get placed before 2/28 when prices go up, maybe 15-40K vehicles get delivered which might run production through year-end assuming production re-starts in June. If the price increase is closer to $10K (what I'd suggest Tesla does) than $5K then the order fill rate might even get to 40% so 40-80K vehicles which might stretch 12 months which wouldn't be terrible.

Let's see what happens 3/1, but I'm thinking $59,990 --> $69,990 which does two things:
1) will help push people to purchase when their delivery slot opens "I got a heck of a deal"
2) anyone who wants a truck earlier, and doesn't have a pre-order, might look hard at the $80K AWD premium since the price delta will then only be $10K

Both are win-wins for Tesla.

Rural mid Minnesnowta. Steel wheels are far more durable than aluminum. Higher profile tires are far more durable than low profile. Efficiency is generally better for the 18" but for the first time they're not showing a range difference on this model. That's probably simply a mistake. Looks: that's for snowflakes. ;-)

Out of curiosity. LOL!

Me, and many others I assume.
