Why would anyone buy a used, 3-yr old Y with 55k miles for $31k when you can get a new one for $37k?Yep wait, you can get a used M3 for $20k with the $4k tax credit, or a MY for $30k, the CT will always be there. BLUF: these two vehicles were $60k to $80k when demand was high, so prices do drop in time. LOL!
If you pass on Foundation Series, you (likely) aren't getting another chance to buy this year. Still over one million+ more reservation holders to go throughI reserved my truck right after it was announced years ago. Every deposit anniversary, I celebrated, eagerly awaiting the day I could configure it. In early February, that day finally arrived, and I was beyond ecstatic as most of us were. As weeks passed after confirming my configuration, I remained patient, understanding that this was a new platform with inevitable hiccups. However, my excitement dwindled as I learned more about build quality issues and production delays. This morning, I called Tesla to cancel my order altogether, as my delivery appointment in Seattle came-and-went, but they said they would rather put it on hold instead. Look, I don't judge those who bought-in early, AND I thought I was going to be one of those early adopters. I had the money saved and room in my garage for the new edition, but something just told me to wait. I know a lot of us are in the same boat, between getting the VIN and awaiting delivery. I absolutely love the design but I'm going to wait until later this year after the kinks are worked out with manufacturing.
If there's one takeaway from Cybertruck, it's that other auto manufactures must learn how to innovate better and listen to their customers. Hats-off to Tesla for bringing this truck to market, I'll sit on the sidelines and jump in when I'm ready.
So the max hold is just short of 60 days?I reserved my truck right after it was announced years ago. Every deposit anniversary, I celebrated, eagerly awaiting the day I could configure it.

I haven’t seen these reports of endless issues. What I have seen are media endlessly repeating false stores. Like the guy who claimed he mysteriously lost control and hit a power pole. No verification and he stopped posting. That crap story was picked up as truth by the Daily Mail. Most of these newspapers who gloat over nonsense (such as the accelerator pedal rivet) receive lots of ad revenue from legacy manufacturers, so distrust them all.
He posted again today. It's a human reaction not to want to be responsible when you mess up, accidentally or not.
Their are actually many youtuber that are real owners, reporting real issues they are having. Of course media outlets also see it and they will repost making things sound like end of the world. Even many owner in this fourm are on the news to include the guy who just sliced his leg open on the door. His pictures and comments are all over news already.
Perfect example. We don’t know what the issues were or whether it was really this guys truck in the service bay. Could be a db who spotted a ct and decided to post for likes.
...but the hook was set when I pocketed the $45k difference and enjoyed the luxuries of space, a paint job, a sunroof, no gawking at my truck, a legit frunk, and the same range with access to Tesla superchargers.
Being that the big logo graphic on the back of the guys CT is the same as his YT handle I think it's safe to say he is the actual owner reporting actual real problems.
