According to TheStreet which was quoting Tesla, "Around 76,200 of the delivery total was linked to Model 3 and Model Y cars, the company said...", and yet it doesn't break out how many deliveries were for the Model Y alone.
If lower than anticipated (note how Tesla is already reaching out to non-4WD/Perf Model Y order holders to final-configure) then is it possible prospective buyers are holding out another year or so just to first see the CT in person?
Of course there is the current medical/economic climate suppressing sales of everything, yet Tesla delivered their best first quarter ever so it would be interesting to see what proportion of those 76,200 deliveries are Model Y's...
But looking at the other side, there are recent reports of CT reservations topping 622,000 and I am included in that number. But I am also included in the unseen/unknown/undocumented number of those in a position to get a(nother) Tesla sooner (my own S lease expires early next year) but are truly undecided between the Y and the CT (as I am)...so for me anyway, the thread title above applies.
The reason for my own indecision is because both vehicles would fulfill all our needs, ie., carry five people, haul more stuff than a sedan, go camping, etc., and they are even actually quite close in price across all their trims. But the CT has the cool factor, at least for me. But then will it fit in my garage? Of course I know it will fit measurement-wise, but what about daily use-wise? It may become a chore to ever so carefully have to creep-park it in the garage every day. And as a truck, will it carry the same level of overall refinement as the Y? In ride? In driving/operation? In latch and switchgear feel? I'm sure there are far more things I have not thought of yet. Not until I can see/hear reviews or even better, actually sit in and meddle around with both cars.
So anyway just based upon my own set of considerations, the relatively soon-to-be existence of the CT has already Osborne-Effect'd me to wait on getting the Model Y early next year. To wait until the CT's begin rolling.
And thinking I am a (hopefully) reasonable guy, I figure there might be many more who are thinking like me out there. Let's break out them Model Y delivery numbers, Elon.
