Recently, Tesla China posted stellar September delivery numbers, reporting it delivered around 56,000 units overall last month. With 56k deliveries in September, Tesla China’s Q3 deliveries reached a total of over 133,000 vehicles. According to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), Tesla...

China numbers for September:
Tesla Model Y: Sold 33,033 units.
Tesla Model 3: Sold 19,120 units.

As of August MY has been outselling M3+MS+MX combined. I thought I saw the September numbers, but can't find it.

With help from Tesla, nearly 80% of Norway's new car sales are electric

Demand for Tesla Inc's mid-sized models helped push up electric car sales in Norway to nearly 80% of total car sales last month, data showed on Friday.

Shanghai only started building and selling MY earlier this year. They finally started shipping MY to Europe at the end of this past quarter. That's 18 months after it went into production in NA.

Any thoughts as to why the price and specs for the cybertruck have been removed from the website?. I have heard the possibility of the single motor being removed. I myself reserved the duel motor.

Tesla does not anticipate they can deliver the models at the stated price for the stated specs.

Do you think they will raise the prices drastically?. Especially for the duel motor?. If they raise them at all?

 

[el-guapin]

Prices will most def go up!!. Which SUX!. And I don’t believe the std range will be available for a LONG while if at all.

From what I can tell. The backlog is so long it is no longer predictable what will be offered when they get to the end of it. What prices, range, etc will look like.

Also, it’s likely they have more current numbers and specs based on a beta build.

Is the standard range the single motor?

It’s all speculation at this point.

My oracle tells me we’ll be fine.

We probably won't know anything more until late 2022...

I sure hope they don’t want that long.

After a year of the silent treatment on delays only to slide out a long one, this little vanishing act with specs and prices does not inspire confidence.

I‘m not in the camp which thinks price increases are inevitable, but this subtle change and lack of communication certainly shakes my confidence in them holding prices as they were.

No doubt. It'll be interesting to see if they can manage to sell a CT for 50K with roughly the same range as a $50K model 3. If Tesla can deliver on its original promise, they probably have a winner on their hand. But if the final price is significantly higher, then all bets are off.

Do you think the base truck will go away and the dual motor might see a slight change in price?

I don’t think they are going to have too much trouble getting at least modest profits on the truck.

Their steel supplier built a factory for supplying stainless steel for the Cybertruck. It’s likely to be used for other stuff, but the timing and location strongly suggest it is for Tesla and the Cybertruck specifically. Building a factory implies there is a long term commitment which would require some kind of pricing guarantees.

Tesla is very proactive about getting these kind of long term commitments and supplier deals… it’s pretty fundamental to maintaining their battery supply.

Given the 3-4 year backlog, it’s likely the time it will take them to burn through the backlog is cutting into their contracted price agreements with their manufacturers. So they are removing the prices from the site because they can’t necessarily meet those long term.

The bigger question is why they removed the specs.

Like everyone else, I have no clue. I think that if they can actually release a 300 mile dual motor truck for $50K, they'll sell them like hot cakes. It'd be so much cheaper to run everyday than your equivalent ICE truck that it'd be an easy sell.

As long as it wasn’t a Tesla. All good.

LOL. I remeber when you said you like Teslas

 

[AquaY]

wow....now we know why cybertruck was not produced as it was announced before the y..yet the y is out. Bait and switch with all the 100.00 deposits? Seems they are dragging it out and will up the prices.

When I learned about the Cyber truck it wasn’t out but the Model Y was.

 

[mbeadnell]

I am just hoping the duel motor does not go up
To much of at all because that will factor in when I get it

 

[Earl]

duel

I can handle it a couple of times but over and over just plain hurts.

There will be no archaic fight to the death on the field of honor for any Cybertruck -- at least not until we start seeing face-offs and competition between different trucks.

DUAL = 2
DUEL = ritual fight to the death to defend one's honor.

Thank you all for your positive feedback

Yes. Ask the people who bought the $69,420 Model S Plaid.
