[@nickmcconnell1291]

I was a CT original reservation holder. However I made the mistake of going to see one at the Tesla service center. Four things I noticed caused me to drop it just a few weeks ago. 1) price increase... my original config was a dual motor with FSD... estimated cost $59K... which would have already been a stretch but doable. Now... forget it. 2). I've gotten old waiting on it. Too many years and now I don't need a new truck since in the interim I had to drop a new engine and tranny in my existing Honda Ridgeline. I'm also just not doing the building, yardwork, and hauling projects that I used too. 3) The back door entries suck. The B pillar doesn't go straight down but curves severely towards the back as it meets the floor. I have big feet and had a hard time getting my foot to clear that without my heel jamming into the seat. Bad design making the backseat difficult to get into for full size adults. No wonder they made the doors open 90 degrees. It would be almost impossible to get in otherwise. 4) Looks. I'm one of the people who thought it looked great in pics and was sold on it. But now I think it looks like crap in person. Except the bed of the truck and tailgate which are great. The external little stainless trim pieces that arch over the door windows are tinny and ugly. Glued on flat pieces that serve no purpose but look cheap and possibly slice your hand open if you are not paying attention. Inside is utilitarian and downright spartan for that kind of money. How in the F is anyone supposed to be able to wash the inside of that front window down to where it meets the dash? How can you reach it? It's spacious in the front but the seats are the same size as my model Y. I would expect them to be bigger for big, working men. Those men will be uncomfortable. Ridiculous. My advice is to reduce the center console storage and get bigger seats.

I ordered mine on day three after the unveiling. I declined the foundation series, but at this point I’m getting emails to update configuration to the non-foundation series. It also notes that as a reservation holder, I will continue to receive priority delivery. Basically, they went through the list and most of those people declined the foundation series. However, instead of going through that list again, which conceivably would be difficult logistically, they have simply opened up availability for anyone to order. I don’t think it means that all of those people who originally ordered and skipped the foundation series have canceled their order. I just think Tesla opened the floodgates to everyone, while still giving priority to those who had placed their orders. I don’t think those people who were in the line are particularly upset since they don’t have access to the federal rebate yet and probably would be happy to continue to wait until that becomes available.

yep, all they need to do is go back to the original pricing strategy. they delivered something that had nowhere near the original range and it ended up costing 40% more. the reality is the used market is going to do its thing and bring these prices way down. tesla built a cutting edge, modern factory dedicated to the cybertruck, with time and efficiency the cost of producing these will drop dramatically and crush the competition. i'd be super concerned if i was ford/chevy/gmc. today they are laughing at tesla, but elon plays the long game and likely already knows how much costs will drop 5 years out. by then they will have resolved range and even build starlink directly into the chassis.

If Tesla managed to deliver the Cybertruck for $40K, they would not be able to build enough to satisfy the huge demand. The pickup truck market is HUGE, and Ford, Chevy, and Dodge sell a ton of basic gas powered trucks where drivers don't need towing, super long daily range, rear wheel steering, etc.. I do think that the Cybertruck will come down to the $60K price point within a year, and I think that demand will rise a great deal when that happens. Of course their competition is a moving target as well, with the Ford F150 Lightning and EV Silverado dropping in price as well. Plus the bigger market is always gas and diesel powered pickups, and getting the Cybertruck's down to under $60K (which is under the average price of all pickups in the U.S.) will help drive Cybertruck sales. I do like the mid-gate idea, and I agree that Tesla should concentrate on building a cheaper base Cybertruck to drive sales.

Honestly the original cybertruck rear-wheel drive was supposed to be a little bit over $40,000 if they can get it down to that actual original price and still remain profitable then this would sell like hotcakes. Now if they can do that and reduce the range to like let's say 280 mi or 260 me then I think people will be okay with that.

Most of your ideas for cost reduction are spot on, except for the door steel. Its minimal cost and replacing with thinner steel would require re-engineering with the addition of side impact beams. Also more crash verification. Not much payoff there. Demand will increase as more folks become accustomed to it and there’s less social pressure against it. As a CT owner I can attest that it is a very capable vehicle and the only real drawback is the amount of hate it gets. It is a real and palpable thing that can’t be discounted when folks shop for cars. The truck market, in particular, can be very tribal.

[@desistang8794]

I think they’ll initially deliver the single motor version at $69k, then, similar to the Model 3, Model Y, and other Teslas, they’ll adjust prices based on demand. Over time, we might see the dual motor average around $69k, the single motor at $59k, and the tri-motor at $80k within five years. I’d be surprised to see anything priced lower than this. I think only real cost saving comes from battery cost being lower in the future and scaling the production. i don't think they will remove suspension and any of the real specs of CT, manly due to tesla like to keep manufacturing basic.

[@Personification1]

Designing a cheaper suspension system and reworking many of the design elements is your idea for Tesla to reduce cost…You clearly don’t understand manufacturing!😂 Reducing production cost is more about reducing variants between models and producing at scale.

You could save a tonne of money by doing a version that has no tonneau cover and is not a pickup. Just take the roof and extend it back, and put opening doors on the back like a transit van. Ideal for camping, headroom to 'live' in, vastly more storage than any pickup can manage, better for pets and for businesses and much less complex to build. Stripping out luxuries is an obvious option as well. Who cares about the dashboard material? Reviewers are constantly stroking that stuff and saying it feels bad. Stop stroking your car, that's a weird thing to do. You should care if the seat material chafes you even through jeans, or is hard to keep clean. You should care if they used piano black anywhere because we banned that under the Geneva Conventions (didn't we? Why not!). You should not care if the plastic is cool looking or not. A better thing to care about is if there's void behind what you can see, and if there is, why is that not storage you can access? Yes, dropping the cost of the steel seems like a no brainer. It always crack me up that people think they couldn't make a sub $25K vehicle easily. Yeah... just strip out every luxury you can, and job done. Do I need heated seats? Well... probably not in a good chunk of the world. Do I need unnecessary range? Definitely not. I don't really even need maximum bladder range if we're being honest. Do I need 2-4 extra seats? Well.. no, actually a one seater enclosed vehicle with more storage space would be much more useful to me than even a 2 seater, but I'd happily take a 2 seater that isn't as pointlessly big as the Cybercab. Why does it need so much boot space? Because I've not heard of one bag travel and am enjoying the hellscape that is extra time in the airport?

@@R56Cooper Why is that amazing? A Colorado 2wd costs $30k and is just as capable.

[@dvader3263]

@@TroySavaryNo new ICE truck is half the price if one considers saving $300, $400 or more per month in fuel with the EV truck. The more it's driven, the more it saves. Then there's no oil and filter changes, no stolen catalytic converters or damaged mufflers or exhaust. No paint, ding or rust repairs. No brake pad or rotor replacements for life of vehicle because of regenerative braking. No transmission or fluid replacement. No transfer case or oil changing. Hundreds of less parts and next to no maintenance. No weekly gas station visits. They're quicker, quieter, smoother and more powerful. The EV battery and drivetrain warranty is 8 years and 120,000 to 150,000 miles. Batteries can last 500,000 miles or more. Electric motors can last 1 million miles.

[@2008israelramos]

Price would be ok if they met the 500 mile range as originally advertised. You can't tow anything very far.

[@R56Cooper]

Yes! Tesla needs to route the HVAC to the bed for more ideal car camping🎉🎉🎉

[@midifool99]

I've seen a product that routes an air hose from the side window to wherever you want climate control. Probably a fairly simple DIY.

[@CT_KD6-3.7]

The air suspension and the rolling tonneau cover for 15K less would be an awesome deal imo 🤔. An option for a non tonneau cover CT for a mid-gate/retractable rear glass version may sell very well. The tow hitch should also be optional (the deletion of which would make that rear bumper overhang smaller w/more ground clearance). Camping in the bed of the CT (with that cyber tent no less) is a no-go for me. There is no comfortable way to sleep 2 people inside the CT right now. I have Model Y LR set up with a Lost Horizon mattress (sleeps 2 inside the car w/climate and entertainment), and an Acopower sub trunk fridge. Tesla also needs to option in a front bench seat, and fold flat (forward or rearward) front seats 🤔. At this point consumers have seen the relative ease with which Tesla implements changes/modifications to their lineup, and are likely waiting (present company included) until then to purchase. If Tesla can bring it down to 74,990 (plus the 7,500 credit), final price of 67,490, they that will definitely be very attractive to consumers.

When I get a 60% raise from my 2019 pay, I’ll pay 60% more for my $50k dual motor.

[@josephbradford5930]

Good show , Bro 👍🏼

[@talpolano4549]

If they sell the foundation in other countries they would still be profitable even in small numbers

[@dylanwhite6539]

I’ll bet if you if they remove the air suspension they’d have room for a mid gate and tonneau cover

[@pangea1now]

You could pay me to take one. I'll just scrap it, but I'll take it.

[@BKNb77]

I was about 600,000 to make a pre-order and haven’t got my email yet. Not sure if it’s different because I’m in Canada.

[@wellspj2002]

Without question it could be cheaper. I believe around 30k or low 30s without the government help. For the single motor version.

[@SpaceTravel1776]

What will arrive to consumers first, the TELO truck or Scout Harvester Terra?

[@TailosiveEV]

Telo Truck 😎

[@jokulhaups309]

Pretty bad when a brand new company can start up announce a product, and will still probably come out before the roadster

[@TroySavary]

Telo is a scam. It will never ship. Only gullible fool's think it is a real product.

[@camaroman101]

I'd say scout, they have a major automaker backing them. Takes a lot of money to produce a car. Plus the tello will cost too much for consumers.

[@Nphen]

I got into Tesla in 2019 after the Cybertruck reveal and bought a reservation on Jan 31st 2019. Back then it was all about busting mainstream media FUD that was easy for the Tesla community to debunk. Elon haters in 2020 seemed to have chips on their shoulders. But when I look at the simplicity & form factor of that Telo truck, vs the overprice, overweight, under-spec disaster of Cybertruck, I really do see how Elon's ego gets in the way of practical, affordable EV. I want to see that Telo reach production and I will get one instead of Cybertruck Inshallah.

[@ianbladuell2694]

Most pick up driver never leave concrete so 250-260 range ok

[@a1machinista1]

No, you have to keep the bed cover

[@sidnickels]

I see them lowering price of inventory and giving a 0 percent interest rate by the end of the year.

[@Brentman56]

I don’t disagree. If that happens or not who knows.

[@truhartwood3170]

If I could/would buy one, I'd wait a few years for them to work out the worst kinks, and I'd want 500mi range real world, and drop the price another $20k below the non-foundation series. What I really want is a Cybervan (pronounced "sigh BERR vn"?).

[@PerpetualProfit1]

Yeah im waiting on more range and increased tow capacity

[@mervstash3692]

😂😂😂 biggest lemon of all time

[@GabeB5517]

I’m waiting it to get to 40-60k for the dual motor. I still have 5-6 years to pay off my model Y so plenty of time to get there. I hope also the 7500 tax credit comes into effect as well.

[@danharold3087]

Buy a used one in 5 years and have the exterior wire brushed to a good as new finish.

[@ericgregori]

I am still on the list, waiting for the RWD. I do not need a 80K AWD truck. Tesla delivered 5,175 Cybertrucks in July, compared to a combined 5,546 registrations of every non-Tesla electric truck, which includes the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, Chevy Silverado EV, and Hummer EV. The Cybertruck accounted for nearly half of all sales in the segment, blowing its competition out of the water as Tesla races to ramp production and fill waiting orders. All other EV pickup truck sales from companies like Ford, Rivian, and GM combined totaled 5,546, according to S&P.

[@TroySavary]

Bullshit. The Lightning alone was over 7k last quarter. YTD, the Cybertruck is not far ahead of the Lightning.

[@PeterWilliamson-nn9et]

Nissan had all wheel steering back in 90 s but no one noticed

[@LuisGrolez]

Still waiting for mine since the keynote. But price is making me doubt to go ahead with it. I should get my deposit back. Maybe

[@cch201992]

I pre-ordered but I didn't preorder for 100k it was 55k 🤷🏼‍♂️ at 500 mile range eventually I'll get one when they are reasonable

[@WildernessExcursions]

Tesla should not offer a 2wd version. It'll just devalue the brand. Sooner design a smaller Maverick size truck for that.

[@camaroman101]

Many people don't need or want awd, mostly those in the south. It's no different than other automakers offering rwd trucks.

[@ianbladuell2694]

They are lying about meeting profitability already

[@dandylion968]

if i park next to a ev and it catches fire and explodes, will my insurance cover me?😅

[@Dularr]

The original AWD was listed at $55,000.

[@jesseschmigiel1223]

Original AWD was $49K RWD was $39K Best was $69K

[@TechMultiview100]

Listen all they really need to do is lower the trucks price maybe 5-10k and become eligible for the 7500 tax credit and suddenly this truck is more like a 62k truck before factoring in gas savings. I’ll be first in line. I’m against stripping features. Better to have one part and make it in higher volume than 2 parts.

[@Brentman56]

I will be shocked if they don’t lower the price by $10k. I will also be surprised if they don’t offer a leasing option. I would lease this in a heartbeat. My Honda would still be my primary vehicle.

[@iamgermane]

Wait for the Scout vehicles! They will have a hybrid version when they come out in 2027!!

@@ericgregori that’s why said “vicinity”. So maybe $88k, instead of $70k … but I’m not paying $120k for 500 in range.

Now that think about it my purchased 2024 Model 3 Performance was 10% less than my leased 2019’s sale price. Sooo Tesla can do the same with the Cybertruck. I’m patient. If not maybe Scout or Rivian gets my money.

[@GreenMountain565]

Prices everywhere are wild. I went to 3 different dealerships today to look at trucks. I saw more trucks in the 95-100k range than I did in the 50-60k range.

@@GreenMountain565 at least the cybertruck and Rivians are the same price everywhere. They only differ by local taxes and fees.
