But how is it possible ? there were 1 plus million reservations only 30K sold so far ... so the remaining people who booked with 100 $ deposit are not buying it ?
You must be new around here. There have been countless posts of people even putting down the 1k deposit and not wanting to get the truck but also not wanting to cancel either. People are weird.

I cancelled my order, lost 1100 bucks. Got the FS invite December 23 with expected delivery mid to late 24. Changed the spec to the AS tires and then it got pushed to October and then read they solved the dry cathode battery issue with new batteries to make it to the cars at the 4th quarter. On top of that, they will begin making more changes to the car, better features, new ai5 (hardware 5) coming next year probably before the summer and will likely lower the price further like they do with every other model. I’m waiting for hardware 5 at this point and more range.

I know I'm impatient! ? Been waiting 4 years and pulled the trigger ~10 days ago. Have a VIN but waiting on a delivery date. ?
Hang in there..... I got lucky.... Pulled the trigger the day nonFS email went out, and got delivery 5 days later ?. But i live only 100 miles from Austin... Your time will come soon

When is 0% financing going to be added to the count of stomach punches to foundation buyers. (7k FSD honoring, FSD transfer, …)
Increasing range or free beast mode perhaps…

It’s a combo of real buyers who were not price sensitive, real buyers who got upset/priced out at $80k, dreamers (hoped to be in a better spot financially when their time came to order), people who hoped to flip, tire kickers (there will always be another reason to wait) and everything in between.

I was just looking at new prices and Tesla website , it says you can order CT and receive it in Oct/Nov 2024

what happened to all the orders ? Did everyone backed out ? Or they manufactured 1 M units already ?
Elon was actually right about the demand at one of the early earnings calls (I think it was 2023 Q4 or 2024 Q1 I don't remember) when he said "we almost exhausted 2024 capacity". Nobody believed him, and wondered what happened with all the preorders. He was just spot on. Here is EOY and they really did. It means that it will be even cheaper likely starting from next year unless they can open other markets to the truck.

Not seeing many solid answers to the OP question which I believe is fair.

The best answer I’ve seen is that it is a massively big market below the $80,000 price point - as in for the one to 2, million reservations( 95% of that only applies to the cheapest configured truck which is not available.

I find that Tesla‘s order sheet stated delivery estimates are usually pretty accurate. If not even conservative meaning you may get your truck earlier.

At least you canceled. So many people sitting on orders with no intention of buying. Tesla got tired of waiting for them and opened it up to everyone. But sounds like you still waited several months before canceling. ?‍♂

I waited 9 months… I would have definitely accepted delivery if they didn’t push it back after the modified timeline when I switched the tires.
