    Trying to pick up Foundation at Texas

    Update: Its now the last day work day for 2023. I threw in the towel on trying to get a cybertruck before 1/1/2024 and moved my pickup location back to Salem Oregon Delivery Center from Plano Texas. Also, I was told that thus far there has been 2 deliveries of CT in my home state of Oregon...

    My Cybertruck order is on a different account, how to move it to my main account?

    Except for the ppl who intended and planned accordingly to sell their Spots 3 yrs ago. I don't believe there is a way you can do this easily. beewang

    Decline Foundation Series, but maintain place in line?

    No, there isn't.... It's a well-equipped vehicle. Only selectable options (according to my memory) are: - Extended Battery Pack $16K - Wrap in White or Black for $6K - Dual Motor or Tri-Motor I hope this helps, beewang

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Yeah I think not all delivery centers are being utilized for delivery. I had Marina Del Rey Tesla Center when my address was based in Pasadena.

    I dunno... Are they?? X is a privately held company, so unless we are an insider or a stakeholder of the company, it is none of our business. To be clear, I am not part of the Elon Musk cult. I am many things.. and especially a racer and a car guy. I happen to really like the performance of...

    Re: Overpaid: People said that back in November 2006 when Google "overpaid" YouTube. Kinda tough to call who won the game when it's only top half of 2nd inning. Isn't it?

    Cybertruck Foundation Series Reservation Holder Reveals Cost Of $120,000: Only 1,000 Will Ever Be Made

    Except for a VERY few, the "limited edition" and "founder's editions" vehicles have seldom panned out on holding up values. So to this extend, I disagree with you on 1). I do agree with you on item 2), As evident my 2 teslas are 4 years apart. While the 2019 M3 looks similar to the 2023 MY...

    Source for production of 1,000 Foundation Series?

    I love Econ! We, economists, called the move "Capturing add'l Consumer Surplus". Only I changed the term to "add'l margin" as not everyone reading has had Micro Price Theory 🙃

    Reservation Numbers are RANDOM and have no relevance

    Are you an existing Tesla owner? If so how many? Is your friend and existing Tesla Owner? If so how many? I am trying to prove out my theory... I think Tesla is trying to avoid potential "bicker" and "bad/poor social media press" and as such, is prioritizing existing multiple Tesla owners and...

    My Cybertruck order is on a different account, how to move it to my main account?

    Presumably, they are both your accounts... if so go visit a delivery center and ask them to help you (probably need to prove to them they are both yours). Cheers! beewang

    A different issue isn't if you cancel?? If you cancel you aren't exactly "spending" $100K". So now it comes down to what hurts and what doesnt.

    How is everyone interpreting the $1K deposit from $250? $250 is Dinner out with family at Chil's (while I don't give my money away) I careless about this. Now losing $1K is a bad loss on a sure win on my Eagle and I do care. My point is this... Is Tesla seeing people backing out after a...

    Founder Edition Reservation Transfer?

    LOL!! Tesla still owes me $100 on Solar Roof that they cancelled me on and "refundable deposit" status crickets from 3 yrs ago. You can assume anything you pay to Tesla a "sunken Cost" until returned, which is NEVER!! :p Cheers! beewang

    Email arrived for the Founders Edition

    C Yes! Confirmed. Look... this is no different than a Ford Dealershit charging $2,000.00 for "Paint Sealent" and $5,000.00 for "security Alarm" etc. Its an early adopter's "HLAMB" (Hey Look at ME B!tch) premium.

    Well... Not sure about "braggin / Status" on something that is purely out of a lottery hat. I suppose one can brag that they are lucky to draw the # :-D The early delivery does have tremendous HLAMB! for those who want to draw attention and have a lack of self esteem. :-p I really need it...

    The "deal" with CyberTruck Foundation

    Continuing my rant.. I spent the weekend visiting Tesla Sales Center in an attempt to resolve my "delivery location" issue on my order. In short, I would like to take delivery of my CT Order in Austin, TX (just because we all know this is a qtr end push for tesla and I don't mind a road trip so...

    The "deal" with CyberTruck Foundation

    Been a couple of days since I placed my order for the CT, a few thoughts on the Foundation: - Pricing is high and that is intentional. It is a capitalist society and Tesla is not a non-profit.org Capturing additional consumer surplus due to Supply constraints, it is the logical thing to do...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    LOL! Good luck with getting someone with Tesla on the phone with you. No one answers the phone, ANYWHERE!! Your only hope is to call and pretend that you are taking delivery (scheduled for today) and talk to that person (and hopefully s/he won't hang up on you). It's funny!! But its true...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    Now that's interesting... my Profile is set to my AMEX card billing address, which is in L.A. CA I took delivery of both of my currently owned Teslas, in Tigard Oregon.

    Founder Edition Reservation Transfer?

    Can't be done.. unless he wants to completely give up his/her Tesla Account to someone else.
  45. B

    So I have an early reservation.

    It does sound like you are trying (really hard) to justify this expenditure. LOL! 🙃 My Thoughts: - Keeping an EV for 10 yrs is the equivalent of using a 5-year-old cell phone. Not that it can't be done. Its more of why would you... Comparing my 4-year-old Model 3 to the 6-month-old Model Y...

    Yeah yeah... so you got the Foundation Invite...

    Yes I did! Suggest not to do that with possesions. Wife and Kids, yes!! Things.. NO!! 🙃
