Cybertruck launch

No they weren't going to .

Until some of them scaled back their production. The only way they would sell everything is to make less things.

Ford to Cut F-150 Lightning Production in Half

Demand has been a challenge.

Tesla is going to sell everything they make with production increasing. Even increasing on their other models.

Yes...going from 0 to X is increasing production and selling them.

Anyway, S/X will be less this year than last year. Model 3 about the same.

Should I tell the DW that a Rivian is a better luxury car than her S class Benz? Don't think that will fly.

Yeah. First Montana?

As predicted. Tesla is going to milk this cow until the fanboys have all purchased their $120k Stainless Steel Model X.

Smh…. Stop the madness….

So much for the Foundation being “Limited” Wake up!!

It's like you're, "pissing into the wind;" some devotionalists don't care to hear different viewpoints, perspectives or facts.

It’s crazy, what is the breaking point for devoted Tesla fans?

I get the first 1000, but I hope some are seeing that this will be the only model sold in 2024.

Essentially Musk is saying buy this or buy nothing smh

RN113’s are now getting invites?

It doesn't matter for these folks. If their non Founder Edition truck (reserved four years ago) doesn't deliver until 2026, they will continue to sing high praise for the CT, Telsa and Elon. It's like gravity - it just is.

That "fact" that they are already extending invitations to those with late RNs in the 113s, and asking for $1000, should tell those with an open mind something....

Ford was forced to cut production because people weren’t willing to pay these crazy prices and lack of specs. The Lightning is an awesome truck and to arguably the Best EV truck out there. But people have a breaking point when it some to overall value. The Lightning doesn’t have the overall value that an equivalent ICE has, and people made it known by letting them collect dust at dealers.

If Tesla devotees would do the same, Musk would get a clue and kill this Foundation Series, start with regular orders smh.

I’m reading on the CT forums about people being worried about their place in line if they choose not to order a Foundation….

Or is Tesla having trouble getting 1000 buyers? (Doubt it)

Right, Tesla leveraging and capitalizing on the FoMo of early adopters....

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

The Cybertruck "Foundation series" is a fantastic exercise in economics! ... and very profitable for Tesla! (background; I've taught university economics for 6+ yrs) TL;DR: Tesla is figuring out the market for Cybertrucks. They are necessarily doing "price discovery" here...

Concerning the Launch.

Does anyone know of a chart that shows the differences between the versions of the CT?

Foundation vs. Beast .vs. 2 motor. vs. etc ?

There are several tables posted here and in FB groups. I posted one the other day, re all of the stuff you get with the $20k Founder's Edition premium. It's quite a long list, actually.

Pricing Revealed

Personally, I don't think the SW is very close to Tesla, specifically navigation or the mobile app. It's better than Ford, though. Looking at the Rivian forum, it seems that those who don't HATE Tesla because of Elon agree and most say it's getting better, but not there yet. Huh, isn't it what...

Here's one, but I saw others in both TMC and FB groups. There are differences (items and prices), but they are directionally similar.

I never would have driven my Truck down there in the first place and I enjoy going Offroad. But going down and up a grassy hill covered in Ice and Snow just to get a Christmas Tree. Even with All Terrain Tires. In all fairness It could have happened with an ICE 4x4 as well.

Could have happened? I lived in an area like that for years...pulled lots of people out of snow banks, high centered spots, etc. From the video..it shows the tires as being the first problem and the driver being the second.
