Have I locked in a price

The Cybertruck is now the cheapest Tesla that customers could order today

Tesla tends to roll out price increases and decreases to its vehicle lineup on a rather frequent basis. Just recently, Tesla rolled out new price adjustments to the Model 3 and Model Y, which resulted in the Model 3 Standard Range Plus — the most affordable vehicle in the company’s currently...

Any speculation on how prices would be impact for Canadian? I was silly enough to assume US pricing during the reservation.

Maybe start with the reality that Ford and GM have had much much more trouble with supply chain shortages than Tesla.

While we’re at it, we should probably acknowledge that Ford has produced less than half the number of Mach Es this year than what they estimated originally. And maybe take note of the fact that both Ford and GM have had to pause production of their highly profitable ICE truck lines due to supply shortages… while Tesla managed to increase production by 75%.

But somehow these companies—which have yet to produce EVs profitably—are going to be less impacted by supply chain shortages than Tesla?

Somehow between the two they will be able to produce a truck for less than Tesla and will be immune to the rising costs you quote?

Tesla has been doing this for 2 years. They had enough time to build a factory and secure long term contracts with manufacturers for materials.

They aren’t going to spend all that time only to destroy that backlog of customers by massively changing the bargain with their reservation holders.

I don’t understand why you keep bringing up Ford and GM when they don’t follow the Tesla Model? Ford and GM advertise one price and dealers sell at another, you can either get a great deal or get a shitty deal.

Tesla has a factory built to build the Cybertruck? News to me.

In case you haven’t noticed, Teslas bread and butter are the Model Y and 3.

Because they have been impacted far more by the supply shortages and price hikes than Tesla.

And yes, one of the 3 buildings at Tera Texas is dedicated to Cybertruck production. They also purchased 2 massive Giga presses specifically for Cybertruck production. There is nearly as much space dedicated to Cybertruck production as there is for the Model Y. Considering they don’t need a paint shop, it’s likely volume will be as high as Model Y volume from Texas at peak.

Also, while the Model 3 and Model Y are currently Tesla‘s bread and butter, things change. Tesla has put massive investment in the Cybertruck and their pricing and pre-orders suggest quite strongly that it is going to out-sell the Model 3 in the US for at least the next 2-3 years and likely into the future. Trucks outsell sedans in the US, it is very likely the Cybertruck or some other truck will always outsell the Model 3 in the US.

I think some people need to go back and rewatch the unveil of the Cybertruck.

After people got over the shell shock of the appearance of the truck, the only other bomb which really blew the crowd away was the price. That is singularly the most interesting thing about this truck. I know I’m not the only person who feels this way. Value is absolutely a feature.

Musk has on multiple occasions talked about how they don’t make concept cars then disappoint people with production cars which are not as good.


You can see him talking about it in the Leno piece here.

Increasing the Cybertruck pricing after the fact absolutely goes against that entire concept. They might as well try to replace it with a mini-van or and SUV if they don’t hit the price point. I’m not alone on this and Tesla knows it.

I agree. When I made the reservation, there were three different configurations and a price for each. I reserved the dual-motor with a listed base price of $49k, should I not expect that is what the base price will be?

Can anyone post screen shots of the advertised prices?

I can’t, but RWD was $39,990, dual was $49,990 and tri was $69,990. FSD was either $7,000, $8,000, or $10,000.

 

[qdeathstar]

the notion of $39k for a 250+ miles rated very capable truck (requiring a larger battery pack than anything in a Model 3) but priced over ($10k) below a Model Y was always hilarious... aka: not happening

See f150??

I found a screen shot from earlier this week.

For those of us who reserved Cybertrucks with prices listed when we reserved, will those prices be honored or are they subject to change?”

 

[yoshi10]

Folks in USA don’t forget the infrastructure rebate of atleast 7.5k that will likely apply. That will help offset any other price increase.

Tell that to dipshit Manchin.

 

[Cutch26]

No chance they ever make the single motor… and I wouldn’t expect to get the dual motor for anything less than 70k if I were you.. I expect to pay 100K+ for the tri motor that I reserved

 

[rickybobbee]

does anyone really want a rear wheel drive truck. can't see it being priority for tesla

 

[rickybobbee]

2 wheel drive trucks can't be driven in canada because of the snow. literally don't exist here not to mention the lack off off road and range capability. canada is a huge truck market so have to believe tesla will pump out the tri motor first. I think my tri motor EDD changed to something like 2024 so don't think we will see these in canada for a real years to come

Just curious, why do you think the 3-motor will come before the 2-motor when most of the orders are for the dual motor?

 

[rickybobbee]

the tri motor will have a much higher profit margin and most likely tri motor buyers will add all the goodies as well like FSD, homelink etc.......just a theory. they might do the dual motor if it's significantly easier and faster to manufacture if deadlines and revenue projections become a factor

 

[Cutch26]

They’ll make tri motor first and charge 120k for it.. then dual motor for 90

 

[Ogre]

Besides, they

the tri motor will have a much higher profit margin and most likely tri motor buyers will add all the goodies as well like FSD, homelink etc.......just a theory. they might do the dual motor if it's significantly easier and faster to manufacture if deadlines and revenue projections become a factor

Depends on the EV credit details. If there is an $80k cap, that makes anything more than a couple add ons pretty unlikely. If you get FSD, that means getting the nice wheel set is going to cost you close to $10,000. $2000 for the wheels and $8000 In lost incentives.
