Wow this is great news for north Georgia!
No Cybertuck for me either.
I'm holding out for the Tesla Semi RV.
Edit: And since all my could-have-been savings are spent here I need a nice stock movement too...

We preordered the CT (tri-motor, thank you very much!) because it offers so much more than the Model Y we had initially planned to get, and I think other folks might be feeling the same. I’m also (like so many have said) the LAST person on earth who would have EVER considered a truck, so Tesla did truly design and brand a new product IMO.
For us, the CT will replace our Subaru wagon, which had previously served the purpose of camping/snowboarding/biking/getting dirty. I assumed the Y would’ve been able to accommodate in similar fashion, but it would also be a tremendous overlap to our S, which also does a damned good job, but I’d be lying if I wasn’t concerned when driving the S off the beaten path, through the PA and VT winters, and loading up the roof box. I’d rather it remain our road tripping car or date night stepping out “nice” car. The CT now slots in as a VERY capable and diverse second vehicle for a lot of families. (I have a FIAT 500e that’s our train station / get coffee in town because it’s the size of a bicycle).
All this is to say from an investor perspective, Tesla has a phenomenal current and future lineup of vehicles that might only be rounded out by a “smaller than a Model 3” compact.

My guess, for what it's worth is that the S will likely remain a traditional sedan for some time.
The current X may morph into the smaller Cybertruck. The main advantage for the X over the CT is the falcon wing doors which are great for those with small children that require car seats. Perhaps the smaller CT will have a version of the falcon wing doors (ducks for cover).

A Storm Chaser on Twitter posted his reservation and all the window comments came in..

Another thought I had this morning regarding the CT reservations. Some of the haters want to say that most people aren't serious and will back out. To them I say, great, this is still a win. Oh, so you are saying that there are a hundred thousand people who are willing to loan Tesla $100 bucks for X period of time just so they can go on social media and claim they are buying one? Awesome!
This does several things. It validates the truck in the eyes of a larger audience. "Wow, people really love this thing, maybe it's not so weird. My FB feed has several people buying. Let me look again." It brings even more interest to Telsa in general (look at the memes showing how beautiful other Teslas are compared to CT....either way that's a win). And finally, even people who assumed they would cancel will start to think about actually having one. This is essentially marketing inception.

I'd have to wash my car several times a week if I did that.

I'm not ordering a Cybertruck. I don't need the hauling or towing capacity, and my MX already seats 7 (which I use on a regular basis). Now a CyberVan that seats 15 I could totally get into.

I will point out that "incorrect" implies that it is not consistent with the facts. How can his statements be considered "rational" if they are not consistent with the facts?
I wonder if they could extend the roofline, ditch the roll down cover, and add a 3rd or 4th row to the bed area without too much redesign.

They forgot to report that almost all those deliveries will be delayed into the following year.
Thank God for small miracles! I was really starting to sweat the competition from the bigger, more experienced competition! /s
Hoho, I bet with money that the S and X will be different in 2 years. Just bought a little TSLA
There were similar supplier reports about parts manufacturers for GF3 as well. It didn't translate to any early start of high volume production for Model 3 in China. I am very skeptical of these supplier rumors translating into a big change in delivery schedules.
Man, it’s a long shot, but I really hope there is something to this rumor. That would surely ram the SP past 400.
I'm not sure why people think this means deliveries in Q4, or even Q1. There's a lag time.
They moved the schedule forward six months. I.e. deliveries in Q2.
Definitely not Q4. But a few thousand deliveries in Q1 is in the cards ....along with official announcement in Q4 CC.
Announcement of timeline and even a single delivery has possibility to move the SP though ...
There are a few pieces of information pointing to some deliveries in Q1. If it's accurate we will know soon (if?)when people start getting emails to configure. Some speculated maybe Q4 but I don't see enough time left in the year.
