why do you call this truck an investment?

Have you noticed how many Cybertruck content creators are popping up on YouTube lately? It’s crazy. Everyone who can get access to one are creating videos and those who can’t are creating videos on other channels content. It’s like a mad dash to see who can get as much out there as possible. I completely understand the “Our Tesla Life” folks doing it because they had one of the first. By the time regular people deliveries start occurring, there’s gonna already be hundreds of videos on YouTube. Unless you can find a niche that can separate your content from the others, good luck trying to find success.You are 100% going to lose your $1,000 deposit if you cancel. Chalk it up as a life lessen learned the hard way.
I can totally relate. I lost a $1k deposit on a custom ordered 392 V8 Jeep Wrangler that I elected not to purchase when it arrived to the dealership 9-months after I ordered it.
Unless you can help recoup your Cybertruck “investment“ as a successful content creator stay away from the Foundation Series. It’s simply a money grab by Tesla.
I agree. Tons of Tesla (and CT) stuff is now on Youtube, and many of these are just seeking click$ - unfortunately, much of the info they provide is inaccurate. I've been driving Teslas since 2013 (P85+) - that's ten years now, wow - so there's not that much on YouTube (or even these forums) that surprises me from a functional or $TSLA investor perspective. Thankfully, many of you do provide useful, anecdotal information and are much appreciated!Have you noticed how many Cybertruck content creators are popping up on YouTube lately? It’s crazy.

One guy with a Tesla content channel flew from Florida to California and spent $1000 renting one to create content. Insane. Shout out to @CyberGus for sharing the Cybertruck Turo ad. When I saw the short mentioning he was renting one I knew exactly where he was going.I agree.

There is no such thing as entering the middle of the line. You are either holding your position in line or you are back at the end of the line, which has 2 million reservations. If what you are saying is true, then several folks who ignore FS email should go back to the end of the line. That's not true. I confirmed this with the Tesla rep.Get back in line and hold your place in line are two VERY different things.
I think that you just paid 1K to get on the back of the line.
There are semantics in those words.
If you don't want a Foundation truck, then just chill. Others who have called Tesla have said the same thing. You are't going to the back of the line.There is no such thing as entering the middle of the line. You are either holding your position in line or you are back at the end of the line, which has 2 million reservations.

At this point, we all are speculating on what the line actually looks like. I booked within one hour of unveiling, and I received the FS email after several others who reserved after me received the email. I'm cool with that, but I'm just saying nobody exactly knows what algorithm is being used to tell "your position in line". As I said, I didn't do anything with my reservation. So I'm holding my line in place. When the VIN is allocated, I'll figure out my options and go from there. The Tesla rep said I can request to wait for a different model if I don't want to get FS immediately, and that won't put me back to the end of the line. I'll go to a local Tesla store to find out if it's possible.
