We know it's not strictly first come, first served. At a minimum, geographical location plays into it. But, yes, the idea of the pre-orders is to deliver to the earliest orders first, just not in a strict sense due to other considerations that could impact how long it takes Cybertruck production to reach profitability. Closer to the factory is better. People in Australia who reserved during the reveal have a really long wait if they want to take delivery Down Under!You know... If Tesla decides to prioritize FSD takers as a way to get the largest margins early in the roll out, they could also prioritize the later reservations to get more of the $15k FSD reservers first.
I never once heard Elon say "first come first served"
This can be used as an argument for why Tesla should start with Single-Motor 250 mile range CyberTruck deliveries. They use the fewest batteries, are the simplest to build, good for getting the factory ramped up...
I knew what level I was on and that is why I typed which one I was on and elaborated. I was on the dumbest version of AP that only keeps speed and distance, and it was on that mode that we got the dramatic phantom braking. I know that dumb AP doesn't 'do' braking. What it did was to decelerate but when you are driving 70-80 mph on the interstate taking your foot off the gas in a Tesla has a dramatic effect. At the time I didn't want to use NoAP because I have had those and other odd and uncomfortable behaviors on EAP and NoAP (namely when going into and out of speed-change areas the car dramatically reduces speed going in and very slowly increases speed coming out and other drivers don't care for it). By the way, I have all the settings correctly for auto lane changes and I still have to use the stalk to do a lane change on NoAP. I have never gotten it to work. I am on FSD Beta version 10.69.25.2.
I thought that I had a screen shot like yours but after looking all over the place all that I can find is Tesla's confirmation of trim and fsd and not the prices shown in your screen capture. These days I always capture an order page but maybe 3 years ago I wasn't. Bummer.

It is interesting that you say that about Ford and GM. If I were Tesla and I wanted to send the message to Ford and GM I would start with the single or dual motor trim with adjustable suspension, 4WS, and all the other goodies that they will have, 'and' at a price that will beat the daylights out of the competition. That said, I expect Tesla to come out with the tri (if it continues to exist) or quad first simply because it will likely be a lower-volume trim that they can handle during their ramp, and also that Elon more or less said that the quad would be first.
I drove to Denver a couple of days ago, and the amount of phantom braking was unbelievable. I counted 13 times in a 10-hour drive on I-70 that it slammed on the brakes with nothing around. It happens at home sometimes when I approach an overpass, but never violently like on this trip.
There is something broken on your vehicle. This is not normal, at all. I would take it to service center. It should absolutely not do this.
