Who is planning to hold off buying cybertruck for months after official release?
- Thread starter coolmanfever
- Start date
Don't plan on it personally. Should be in the first 2500 or so if RN#'s mean anything. From my experience they mean little.
I truly enjoyed driving around for a good 7 or 8 months talking to people about my 3 before they started appearing. Gave tons of test drives. Yeah I paid some more than if I waited, but it was lots of fun. I assume the truck will be the same if not more when it comes to shock factor.
Tesla Cybertruck Pricing Needs To Improve, According To Marketing Company Saw this, but they are kind of talking differently.
Just depends if the demand is off the charts, how much production is there year 1? Could see things differently on if you pause on the initial configuration. Who knows at this point.

Oh hell no, I'm not waiting for anything. Give me a pre-production Alpha if I can get it early. Hit it with a sledgehammer on the way out of the factory, show me some panel gaps, I don't care.

I expect to wait. I already have a Tesla so it's not that CRAZY interest that I had back in 2016-17. I'll wanna sit in one and see what people's experiences are with towing range. I know I could buy the 500-mile unit, but it's $20K more. I would HATE it if I bought one of the first units and it didn't have the fold-down rear seats, and then it becomes an option. I want to close the vault and fold down those seats to make a large bed locked and out of the weather. I am excited to see what accessories come out too.

As soon as they turn on the lights at the factory, I plan to be standing outside holding up a boom box.

side note: Model Y (from Sandy Munro examinations) shows the rear 1/3 of Model Y redesigned from hundred parts (spot welds, rivets, bolts nusts washers dozens of stamped parts) => two castings + two brackets + dozen bolts (?) So Tesal did/is saving costs & assembly labor. (Takes a few months to verify at the factory that savings are just how much?)
Tesla actually passes savings down to customers. Drives Wall St. (investor types) nuts as all these investors WANT these savings to be passed on to them as increased earnings. And my bias, I don't like this investor attitude one bit.

I am. Only cause i'm 650,000th in line
I was going to make a similar response since everyone but the first several thousand buyers will have to wait for production to ramp up.

Didn’t see any value in pre ordering so early. However, since I’m considering only a single motor CT and Tesla recently dropped the SR Y, I may pre order a single motor CT in hopes they get built/sold and not dropped.

I'm far too excited about the Cybertuck to rationalize it.

Going to try and hold off as long as I can. Want them to be coming off the line for a year or so before I pull the trigger. Let'm work out the kinks while I try and "be strong"

Me. I'm thinking a year or so after production start, maybe more. Partially due to lack of need for a new truck, and partially due to waiting some of the early issues to be worked out. Oh, and partially due to my place in line, lol.

BTW, my 2012 P85 was one of the first 2200 Teslas ever made (not counting the Roadsters but those were 1/2 Lotus). I sold it almost a year ago at 214,000 miles. The new owner now has 295,000 on it. It was and is an amazing car. I'm not scared of an early VIN at allllllllll.

Using an estimator and data from another website. Not sure if i can link it here.
Cybertruck reservation order number -- how to tell your place in line
Your order numbers is just a sequential number, starting at about 112744100 (the number that reservations began). So subtract that from your number for your (approximate) place in line. Keeping in mind the rollout will be regional, so your position in line is only good for your rollout region.
I ordered 4/17/20. RN113388462
After the experience of getting one of the first Y's, I will probably hold off for 6 months or so if my order is filled that early. Between the car sounding like the interior is rattling apart at times and nearly having to put it on a flat bed 250 miles into a 1000 mile road trip, my enthusiasm for being first has waned.
