This is not correct, nothing like this was said in regards to the CT. You most likely heard talk referring to 4680 production challenges. It was also said 4680 production is sufficient for CT ramp, so all is well.
It's correct. Elon and his engineer both said it and laughed. Listen again. I'm not a hater and have no investment in this. Just putting it out there. We'll I do have an investment...stock so there's another reason to not lie.

Great observation. Silly as it sounds, this may be what is holding up deliveries. These trucks may be missing parts. accessories, trim, etc... Which may explain why they have been on the lot for so long.
Could be. I'm sure Tesla does not want to deliver hundreds of trucks and then have to ship wheel covers to hundreds of people across the US.

Negative. I've already listened to the call twice. Nothing related to CT tooling or CT production issues was said. If you have a timestamp, please share.

This proves the hubcap theory! The hubcap theory is you can’t pay an American auto worker the $100/hr (or whatever their rate is) to put on hubcaps when you could pay someone in another country $5/hr!

This is correct, I picked mine up yesterday. When I got to Dublin, they told me about the wheel caps issue. pretty annoying to say the least. They had me put in for service so the caps would be delivered in the next week to two to my house.

now I’m wondering what other parts or accessories I’m missing that were is supposed to be delivered with the foundation series. :sneaky:

Makes sense. If they are right about the week or two, that would be good as i expect CTs to be arriving at delivery centers all over within that timeframe.

Could be a QC hold for VINs in this range

wouldn’t be the first time one CT has a found issue that causes a WC hold for a range of VINs until they can be reviewed/repaired

Ramp up is real. If only one vendor misses a part delivery production takes a hit.

Think of it this way. For Tesla to manufacture 100 Cybertruck’s a day they must have 400 stainless steel doors, 400 wheels and tires, 200 front bucket seats, etc. for assembly line workers to install.

listen again. I wish I could share but not going to put that much effort into this. Stock down, truck not here, only proof of 1000 VINs recorded, very sad.

Or, maybe you listened to the Q3 call accidentally. Who knows. :)

Reminds me of the COVID era lots filling up with 97% completed vehicles, which were only missing a part or two. Tesla is good at resolving these issues and I have faith things will get sorted quickly, but this is hardly unusual in the auto industry.

If there are 16 Cybertrucks on the lot and some of hubcaps and others don’t, I would have demanded they pull off the hubcap covers from an undelivered truck to put them on mind.

You dropped a little over $113,000 yesterday.

I just did this with a Ford tremor. Flat tire on one side and I said swap the wheel out with another one. Boom! Done deal.
