    Cybertruck "Foundation series" is a fantastic exercise in economics! ... and PROFITable

    90% of all current pickup owners who currently say they hate CT, will want one and order one when they - see one (live, not a picture or video), drive one, girlfriend or kids wants one, or get the doors blown off their current pickup by one. These are the guys who hang balls off the back of...

    Are the Cybertruck's looks growing on you?

    Prediction - all CT naysayers who are in the market for a truck, will drool when they see them more main stream on the roads in a few years and change their minds, and place the order.

    Are the Cybertruck's looks growing on you?

    Most of the trucks that fall into #1 are fleet units. The guy driving them don’t own or make decisions for what they are driving. Availability is the driving factor for this right now as thousands of companies want to get new trucks but cannot find them. Short term, CT won’t be available...

    Sick and tired

    How does the car get blame for a flat tire? Wouldn’t that be the tire manufacturer? Or the driver, or area you are driving? Tesla doesn’t make tires, nor does any auto manufacturer.

    Launch is Imminent

    You would think this is the case, however non-business/fleet pickup trucks spend time 1% of their time off-roading, towing, or carrying a payload larger than what a sedan could carry.

    People said the same thing when cell phones dropped buttons for full touch screens.

    Vehicle Range

    Just like MPG on an ice car, if you drive fast, accelerate hard, or idle the MPG will go down. If you do those things in a Tesla the range will drop. However they will creep back up over time if your driving habits change. Drive the speed limit and reduce playing with the screen and app and it...

    Model Y has anyone received 2023 VIN yet?

    I saw this screen as well. Not sure I consider this as ‘signing a waiver’.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Correct, plus my vehicle is $3000 more today than when I ordered, combined with the order fee, I would lose $3250 to MAYBE gain $3750. Not worth it.

    How to delay delivery until 2023

    Has anyone taken delivery of an EV pickup at 51k? Are they delivering any pickups at any price?

    EST. Delivery was February now in December

    My guess is the the delivering dealer will need to get the buyer to sign a document swearing that the info they provided is true and file a document that the tax credit was given which the IRS will have. If at tax time it’s found you lied, you’ll pay the credit back with penalties. So don’t get...

    Keep in mind this administration wanted to pass a much more comprehensive bill relating to these tax credits, but had to skim it way down to get it to pass due to the opposition. I’m not saying the opposition was good or bad, but that’s why this became the ‘mess’ that it appears to be now.
