Will We See A CT Price Increase?

[texas_star_TM3]

price increase and/ or feature reduction (cheaper materials, fewer speakers etc) ...

Model Y AWD is $53k now *but* a much larger and more capable Cybertruck with nearly identical range and quicker acceleration will be $50k ? sure. that makes sense.

Didn't you read about the CT's far cheaper production cost due to its design?

i dont think they were at least for the pre orders, my big concern is will the new batteries be in there or will that change like with the Plaid + being canceled.

- S Plaid went up by $10k the day of first deliveries.
- S LR and X went by up $5k recently.
- Y already had a few $500 increases.
- Tesla had record deliveries last quarter (~200k).

You can get in line and lock your price in. Otherwise, you're rolling the dice betting Tesla demand magically evaporates.

I also read about 500 miles of range in Plaid+ and FSD in 2 weeks and the Roadster and and.... long story short - Tesla won't know until production how complex the mass manufacturing of the CT really is and it will need a lot larger batteries than the Model Y. They won't offer a CT with AWD and better performance specs for less money than the Model Y which is a mid-size SUV.

Yeah, they are just winging it until production. They have no idea how to build it, even though they're already installing the machines that will actually do it.

The model 3 ramp up was "production hell" and that's a more conventional design...

The truck was deigned to be an easier build. It's nothing like a model 3; you might as well compare it to a Yugo.

The Cybertruck and Yugo both have four wheels. That makes them basically the same.

Well, you did tell us to.

Cybertruck will likely still be a version of production hell. Completely different design method, manufacturing method, and batteries. However reasonable to expect that the hell will not be as deep in hell.
