Texas Model Y buyers have had no issue.
I'm not exactly sure how my Model 3 purchase in Arkansas in 2019 was handled. I paid the balance before it left California and I was following its progress cross country. It arrived in Dallas about a week before my scheduled delivery date so I contacted my delivery agent about the possibility for me to go to Dallas to pick it up ahead of schedule and was told that that wasn't allowed "by law". I don't know if it was Arkansas law or Texas law that prohibited it, because both states have stupid dealership laws. They told me that it had to be delivered across state lines by a 3rd party. My car arrived at my job site, on a car hauler not associated with Tesla, along with several others being delivered in the area.
The sales manager I talked to said they expect to produce 5-10k in 2023. I will fall into the 1200 to 2000 range after employees and suppliers get theirs.
Way back when (and that perhaps means that it is no longer valid at all) Elon was asked whether Cybertrucks purchased in other states could be picked up at the factory and he said yes. We picked up our Model 3 in 2019 at the Fremont factory (though we live in California) so I do not see a problem with it. Perhaps Elon spoke without thinking or perhaps they will put something together that will allow it to happen. It would be nice. As I said back then, I will jump on a plane, pick up the Cybertruck at GigaAustin, grab a cooler full of Texas BBQ, and drive home in ecstasy.
It will be a hybrid of this. It always is. They will produce a bunch of top end or mid-range models (on Model 3 it was RWD before AWD but Performance before LRAWD). At some point they will start producing the lower cost model, normally in 12 months or so. The early reservations holders will get first dibs on each model as it becomes available. So assuming they actually launch the entry level vehicle, it will likely be 12-18 months delayed.
This is a joke, right?
He doesn't know what he is talking about (in terms of which trims, order fulfillment, etc), any more than we do, and we shouldn't waste any more energy on people that drop in every 3 years to ask questions they should know the answers to.
"Waiting for Cybertruck" years are like dog years
No jokes really actually more than 6yrs as a Ca contractor I went to South San Francisco to see a prefabricated house and Elon had his two seater sportster outside for viewing and that is when I told myself that when he would make a truck I would buy one
