Not anymore would be my guess. They walked back on the ambitions of FSD and a substantial part of the capabilities are listed so they'll be able to recognize a substantial part of the revenue immediately.

Whats up with Trump fans and their IQs ?
Clearly.At Tesla there's near unlimited upwards social mobility!
I'm gonna go see if SpaceX needs anybody to shine Raptor exhaust nozzles....
Looks like the Founders Series Semi is still available. I stopped at the screen where you enter your credit card info...Not that I know of. Of course, I didn't actually try the link
Founders Series Tesla Semi reservations require an initial $5,000 credit card payment. A $195,000 wire transfer payment is required for the first Founders Series Tesla Semi, plus a $200,000 wire transfer for each additional Founders Series Tesla Semi. Wire transfers are due within 10 days. Reservations are not final until the wire transfer payment is received.

Now I'm imagining a pool of truckers bitten by the EV bug. "What? You want me to haul in a crappy ICE? No way mate. What do you think this is, bush week?"
I understand people paying extra for a Founders Series car, but I wonder who would buy a Founders Series Semi and why.
I appreciate people defending me from personal attacks. That's interesting you went thru my post history. If you looked at that IQ post you should have also noted that poster on that thread deliberately asked us to state our IQ - not really being fair to me by not mentioning that....
That being said I do enjoy a little instigation to prompt critical thought.
My guess is that the founders series are the long range version and will be delivered first. And probably come with all of the optional features, whatever those are. (For example, maybe the dynamic flaps between the cab and trailer are optional.)
Didn't they somewhat mention reservations for semi? Or was that electrek website? It seemed every day for a bit we had some corporation making preorders - walmart, ups, etc

Public television and only advertise the mission. Tesla Corporation, accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Show high level videos and how Tesla is leading the research drive to eliminate Cobalt from batteries, building batteries to eliminate gas powered peaker plants and solar technology to replace coal plants. The world doesn't need a new vapid Bud light commercial, but sharing the mission and the milestones could help reimage the company. Today, too much of Tesla is about it's wild boss. I personally think that is ok and has been great in making the brand a powerful global icon, but it is also a meme that is used against Tesla. Build a media program that basically rows on the other side of the boat. Let Elon be Elon, but build a brand that represents the solid work behind the enigmatic entrepreneur. I think a lot of SEC pressure and other BS would be harder to stomach from above average news followers, if they did some brand control.
Siemens and other non-consumer facing companies do this all the time.

I brought my Model S into service last week, Tesla replaced the parts as requested. The price was about $2k worth of service and parts. I don’t think the company is having any issues based on my experience and interaction.
Unfortunately I have 21 milli.....*cough cough* 21.
We got random reservation anecdotes (often announced by the companies themselves), but Tesla refused to give a total.

If they manage to pull off a profit in Q1, prepare for the most violent reversal TSLA has ever seen. Current sentiment for Tesla and auto industry in general is very low. Lots of people on the sidelines waiting for some clarification before jumping in.

The Tesla Semi offers serious competitive advantages, it is earning $100k a year through fuel savings alone per truck, and earlier delivery earns more money.
In colder climates diesel trucks are also pretty expensive to maintain.
Founders Series would be delivered first - while later reservation holders might have to wait a year or more.
Someone using a semi to haul their mobile home around. I saw a picture of this (not Tesla) kind of setup a few days ago.
