Intentional or not that is what happened with both the 3 and Y. Ask me how I know.

That's unbelievable! Almost every slide/argument is false, blatantly so sometimes (like EVs are more prone to catch fire!). CRAZY!!!!
Like a Launch Edition sort of thing?
People who think $100k for a tri-motor EV truck like this must have been reeling when the Model S and X Plaid were $136k and $139k lol
And they will be reeling again if the CT launches at 100k and then drops to 80k in 2 years.
See stuff like this every day on content aggregator sites
Going further off on a tangent considering this pricing is currently just a rumor, but hopefully this strategy is effectively communicated so we don't end up with Gary Black tweeting about how $20,000 in price cuts * 250,000 units is $5billion in lost revenue
Thats why it has to be different. How about a special etching in the hood. Something that isnt hard/expensive to do when production line is very low volume.

Perhaps there should be an "Early Adopter" disclaimer:
If you want to be the first one to have anything new,
you will always pay more for it than will someone who waits to buy it later.
Please prepare yourself now for this eventuality.

So, what? Really.
This stuff appears on EVERY topic in the world. This isn’t new and advertising doesn’t fix it. The vast majority of people will believe whatever is convenient for them.
I literally just had a discussion with someone who proudly linked media articles on a topic and suggested I do the same to refute ‘the evidence’. So I provided a link to the source; the actual company information page. And you know what the person said to me? You can’t believe what a company says about themselves or their product.
I think personalized engraving like Apple does would do the trick. You could put your name on the driver’s door or something really cheezy on the hood. Or 45cal bullet dents! Only on the launch editions. It would make it your’s … forever!

Tri-Motor CT was originally announced at 75K. This was 4 years ago, old money.
This is steep but makes sense for this much stainless steel. Also, this could have been some fake sales pitch.
Curious about 'regular' CT pricing.

Some shots of the audience, with the heavy eyes and yawning, reminds me of how (apparently) board meetings went at Kodak back in the 1970s.

Slight correction, tri-motor target announced at the reveal event was 69,900.
Yeah, I just watched it too. Seba was speaking in Saudi Arabia. It definitely was not what they wanted to hear.
Mostly, it was the same talk I've heard half a dozen times from him. But it did remind me that we still have a long way to go for battery cost reduction. Batteries are still going to get a lot cheaper than they are now.
We are already seeing the Seagull from BYD starting at around $11,000 in China. I don't know if those would be street legal in more developed nations. But I can see BYD going well under $20k in Europe soon.
I sure hope Tesla is pretty far along on the Gen 3 vehicle.

Also 69,900$ in 2019 is worth 84,000$ today.
A dual-motor Max battery Rivian R1T is $100,000, so a $100,000 tri-motor big battery CT is not at all out of line with the market.
That said, I think it's extremely unlikely that Tesla is calling up reservation holders and divulging highly sought-after info like price a month before the official launch. We'll know the price on 11/30, not before.

I think it's fake because no one would assume confidentiality. News would be out from multiple sources if this was true.
We may not know until well after. The MY AWD (GFTX) and Semi events didn't open the configurator for normal customers. Both are special circumstances and may not apply to the CT, but who knows?

Oh that was good:
"You don't get points back on fuel purchases" was my favorite. That's as logical as the people that want a giant mortgage so they can get the tax writeoff.
