Seems like will have to announce specs and price ahead of time for first customers to get loans and insurance setup. How far ahead was model Y details anniunced before delivery? Seems like a case of a watched pot never boils.

I'd bet they announce pricing and specs at reveal. The reveal/delivery event isn't typically for customers. It's for employees.

Turns out they've stopped in Arkansas. A Hampton inn of all places. Someone snapped some photos:
Might be going for crash testing, based on writing on the window:

Yes, and I’d wager a number of CyberTruck buyers want: a large SUV Tesla for road trips and don’t need to carry more than 4 people plus luggage (
).

Anyone else having fun tracking the progress of this Cyber-caravan across the US? From Austin, through Arkansas, and now spotted outside of Indianapolis, evidently.
Best theory I've read so far is that they're headed here: Ohio | TRC
Also, an additional 6 trucks heading toward Fremont, evidently:

Tesla has started to solicit info from employees who would have interest in taking an early delivery. Form went out recently. Dual or tri motor, preferred delivery location (Austin, Bay Area, LA, other). Similar to GFTX MY launch…no pricing or dates yet.
Strange that they would offer dual and tri motor both. They typically build one trim level to start.

If we are really at this late stage of design and build, shouldn’t they have already decided??
They eventually will offer both plus quad so they plan on accommodating them all its just easier to pick one and stick with that configuration.
If they have a properly automated production line, then varying battery sizes and 2-3 additional drivetrain variation should be a non-issue.
If the production line is NOT automated (which seams to be the case), then Tesla will pick a single easiest-to-build configuration and push it out the door to meet launch deadlines.
It is weird that they hadn't settled on that single configuration (if hearsay reports are true, but who knows if they are), but the again, everything about CT has been late by an order of years.
Or it could be as simple as they got new manager in charge of the roll-out who has no clue what he/she is doing, so they sent out a form to figure things out.
Any all wheel drive version will have roughly the same final assembly complexity (variation being multiple connections to dual motor drive units). It does increase drive unit line complexity, but those could be fairly independent lines per type.

Not only is it not Elon's account, but it's a very obvious 3D render as well.
It’s clear most of you here have never worked in manufacturing. Probably single most reason I’ve stayed away from this site.
CT will be offered in a variety of drivetrains. They’ve asked employees who have reservations which one we want, so they know who they can line up for early delivery. They know which one they will deliver, but didn’t specify. If you ask a large crowd what they want, you’ve made a grave mistake. If you give them two choices, you’ll have data points you can react on.
