Thank you! I guess what I'll do is order right before the end of this month to get the CT reservation discount and then just hope for the best as far as the VIN goes. Definitely don't want a price increase (but willing to gamble another week lol). Ultimately if the buyer is planning to keep the...

Curious: Behind the scenes, is Michelin upset at Tesla for designing/manufacturing a vehicle that is not properly aligned? If people are constantly making warranty claims on Michelin's tires, then that results in a loss of profit and damage to Michelin's reputation. Consequently, it seems like...

Curious: how possible is it that, if I order a MSP today, the vehicle I would get is a 2024 model year? I assumed, as you did, that any vehicle I order in '23 would likely be a '23 VIN (existing inventory and all that). Clock is ticking on getting a $1k discount for having an early CT res...

Figured I'd bump this topic as these things start rolling out. Curious to know the lowest height possible from the ground to the driver's seat.

My dad had a 98 Nissan Frontier with a bench seat. And it was a stick shift... kind of awkward to be sitting in the middle with your legs splayed lol, but you just didn't acknowledge it.

I'm going to be scratching and denting the hell out of mine, so it's perfectly fine for me that it's ugly. All those blemishes will just add character. Honestly liberating to not worry about damaging paint.

I have not. Been in a base model 1998 Frontier though (that was my dad's daily driver for many years, haha). Actually I used to work at Nissan as a mechanic before getting paralyzed. Terrible cars. Least they were back then.

Appreciate the concept, but I don't want/need all that (can't afford it anyway). I just take apart my little chair and toss it in the passenger's seat, easy-peasy. No need for all that. I'll just get a MSP if it seems like a hassle to get into the CT. Like, I can get into taller vehicles myself...

If anyone from the future sees this, I'm very curious to know the absolute lowest height possible for the driver's seat (vehicle at lowest height with seat at lowest height). Matters to me because I'm in a wheelchair, so if it's too high then I'll probably just opt for something else. In the...

I hope it's to build materials for CT production. However, I have read that the V1 4680 has fallen short of expectations concerning energy density, performance, and production requirements. I wonder if this cease in orders is related to that.

I'm going to wait until midway through 2022 before I entertain moving on from the CT. Even before the announced delay, we all kind of knew we'd have to wait around that long anyway. By that time, we should have a better estimate on how much longer it'll take to hit production. I really don't...

Hopefully they feel some pressure to get things rolling by 2022 because being one of the last ones to hit the market with an electric truck will hurt their sales compared to if they were first or close to first. Man this sucks. I mean I know Elon is always overly optimistic (or outright lying)...

I could just as well get a Y or S, but there's a few reasons the CT stands out. Seats 4 comfortably; 5 or 6 in a pinch. 500 mile range: reduces range anxiety. Thrilling 2.9 second 0-60. AWD. Can handle some casual off-roading or bad weather. Air suspension. Looks cool, unique. Should be safe...

If they want to produce high-revenue models first, then that's probably why the dual and tri-motor models are slated to be first off the line in late 2021 while the single-motor is projected for late 2022. That said, I am curious to know if performance models were produced first for other...

I only accept genuine Corinthian leather endorsed by Ricardo Montalbán himself.

Does Tesla prioritize making sure their dealer showrooms have a floor model to show? Just wondering how soon I will get to see the CT in-person after completed vehicles start rolling out of the factory. (don't feel like making a thread for such a basic question so I asked it here)

The price drop on the S was enticing to me as well. I couldn't seriously consider it before it dropped under 70k. I've still got a MYP on order, but I'm going to delay delivery until after the Cybertruck comes out because I think I might want that instead. Incredible performance and range at...

If I change my order will I lose my early ‘spot’ in line? RN seems to stay the same

That's how previous model releases worked? Just curious because I wasn't interested in Tesla back then, so I wasn't paying attention. Do you (or anyone else reading) happen to know how many preorders for previous models actually followed through to become real orders? I'm also curious how many...

Preordering doesn't work like a line? First-come, first-served?

Here's hoping some of those Cybertruck preorders in front of me opt for this or something else instead :D

Somewhat related, I'm actually interested in the Cybertruck for the way the liftgate turns into a ramp. I think it'd be nice for my old dog with her bad joints. Would have to make it grippier back there though.

Renault Lectric Leopard, circa late 70s / early 80s All about RENAULT 5 :: LECTRIC LEOPARD Pass by this car on my lunch break whenever I go for a walk, but it was always parked in his/her driveway. Finally pulled it out for all to see. Glad to see it still runs. It's licensed too.

The devil in me wants to convince anyone on the fence to not get a Cybertruck just so there's one fewer person ahead of me on the list.

Tri-motor. No FSD. Ordered October 1, 2020. Corrected position: 738,205. Estimated delivery: September 2023. Well I hope that's not accurate lol.

Are you from the future? (I know what you mean though)

I placed my reservation yesterday evening. RN114015545. No FSD, tri-motor. Going to be hard to wait. Mostly because I'm nursing a blown head gasket in my commuter car. Gotta keep topping it off, though it's not as bad now that it's cool out. Then I'll eagerly trade it in when the time comes...

That's exciting to hear. Might be doable... I wish I could see for myself, like, now. lol. I'd like to know so that I can just get the Y if the CT won't work. If I want to get the CT instead of the Y, is there any chance Tesla would give me my $100 deposit back, even as an accessories credit...

I kind of figured out an estimate on my own. Maybe it'll help someone else. Ground clearance is 16", but it can lower 4" with the adjustable air suspension. So the bottom of the vehicle is 12" when fully lowered. I'm estimating around 3 feet from ground to seat after looking at the various...

Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind?

Then repeat as necessary

Did they ever release a Ludacris mode for the 3? I know about the one for the old S P85D and P90D. That was like $10k right? That'd be too steep for me.

I'll probably keep the PUP that I have on order the same, but I can definitely see where someone else in the same position would buy a LR instead and opt for this upgrade for a budget performance upgrade. I hope they offer something similar for the PUP.

Maybe it's the reflection in the pic, but the window sill on the rear D/S door seems to be disjointed with the sill of the window behind it. Just wondering if that's the case because I have seen it on a lot of Ys

I'd also really like to know this information. Specifically the seat height at its lowest point with the vehicle lowered all of the way.

I'm noticing this as well. Kind of annoying because there are reasons I'd like it to be included in the purchase price.

I was mildly interested in FSD for the features that EAP offers, but I wasn't crazy about paying for city driving features that I'd never use or need, so it's a no-brainer for me. That summon feature is huge for me as a handicapped driver. It allows me to park anywhere. With my current old car...

That's an easy decline for me. Who wants to pay 55k+ for a car that looks awful. You'd be taking a big leap of faith in the SC fixing an array of issues correctly and in a timely fashion. Save yourself the time and headaches and get one that's better from the get-go.

If anyone wants to buy an antique: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/817835305/overview/ VIN: 000249

That looks really annoying. Although, like you mentioned, there are kits for covering that up. A lot of people go with a carbon fiber look 3M vinyl sticker.

The stock wheels for the MY are all somewhere between average to ugly imo. Other models have fine-looking wheels though. I wish Tesla would offer steel wheels. Then I wouldn't feel bad about replacing/upgrading them.

And this is only somewhat related, but I'm really hoping for an option for air suspension to come out soon. Sandy Munro demonstrated in his tear-down that Tesla seemed to engineer room for an air suspension system in the Model Y. Here's hoping that will be announced on Battery Day, though I have...

I raised a similar question today, asking when the 2021 model year MYs will be available. He said January 2021, though that seemed to conflict with information I had read on here. But like @Quorky said before, I'd be skeptical of anything that a salesperson has to say. Even though these people...

Did they remove the VIN though? I still see a VIN and a delivery date.

Frustratingly, it looks like I was re-matched with the same car again. Was notified on Thursday about setting up a delivery date. VIN assigned same day. Found out on Friday that the VIN was March 8. Told them I wasn't interested. Sales rep. said he'd remove the VIN from my account. On...

Regarding that March 8 MY they tried to sell me, I went and had a look myself since I happened to be in the area. Wasn't horrible looking by my standards, but it wasn't great either. I couldn't really look at the passenger's side or the notorious hatch hinge area because I couldn't fit back...

You're on the wrong side of Baltimore I'm afraid. It was coming from Alexandria, VA, I was told. Might still be loaded up on a truck headed here as we speak for all I know. Hell, now that I've declined it, you can probably place an order for a blue/black PUP and I'm sure they'll bring it right...

I actually might have considered it if they knocked down the price a few thousand, but I didn't think they would be interested anyway.

Just to follow up with this, I called and found out that I was being matched up with a vehicle that was "born" on March 8. I said I wasn't interested, and the salesperson was understanding of that and said he'd unmatch me from that vehicle. I suppose I'm now at the back of the line. At least I...

I have not talked to any salespeople, but I'll call them up tomorrow. Come to think of it, there was a new MY exactly like the one I ordered sitting on their lot when I visited a couple weeks ago (I visited on a whim; just wanted to see how bad these QC issues really were). It was awful...
