Rumor: Tri-motor Cybertruck $98,990 starting price ?

Does the plaid use 4680 batteries?

As far as we know, they’ll all use the Gen2 4680 batteries which are basically 2170 in terms of energy density

Only a couple more months until "reliable charging network" can't be used to sell Teslas. Arguably, buying a CCS vehicle over the next 24 months will be the best buy; you'll get an adapter, and like 50% more charging options than Teslas.

There is already working CCS adapters for Tesla so they can use any charging network if they purchase the adapter. I never purchased one because I have free Supercharging but would otherwise.

You know, that's absolutely true I forgot that fact. Question; does their nav software give you the option to use non-Tesla chargers on trips?

That is a good question, I know the phone app does not have any charger options to configure. I usually plan trips using ABRP, I’ll have to check the car and see what if any settings it has.

Pricing doesn’t sound crazy high

Potentially not market-leading either, but not that far off from a QM. Plus, Tesla messes with their pricing more than anyone else so I won’t be surprised if it _is_ market-leading in the not-too-distant future.

Tesla also historically has a higher $ delta between their DM and Tri-motor offerings than Rivian does between DM and QM, so I wouldn’t be surprised if DM CT undercut DM R1T at launch

But either way, I don’t think anyone should be surprised if they keep prices high while demand and interest is highest at launch and for a time thereafter, maximizing revenue, then reducing prices aggressively as they ramp & get through the initial ravenous fanbois

Historically Tesla does top trim first, I would be surprised if you see any dual motor versions released until well into 2024.

“Well into 2024” isn’t far away at all. I maintain that they may very well undercut R1 DM pricing when they do launch their DM offering, even if Tri-motor is slightly higher than QM at launch.

And, your statement isn’t really true. I got a LRRWD single-motor M3 at launch. And a LRAWD MY at launch. Neither were performance, their respective top trims.

Man at this point I just feel bad for Cybertruck buyers. A bad deal for a bad design in a bad market. Kinda hard to do any worse, lol.

Still, don’t underestimate how many Tesla fans there are. They will still sell more than R1T’s.

Pricing at $100k is pretty much on par for a R1T so that’s not an issue. Looks are a personal opinion but I’m sure there are still plenty of people who will buy one. It has potential to “truck stuff” better than a Rivian if the payload numbers are accurate and has the perceived reliability of an established brand rather than a newcomer to the market.

all this chatter and we dont even know if this is a real post.

Curious what you mean by at launch. They delivered less than 10k vehicles in the first 3 quarters of the M3 launch. You are also comparing the commodity based models where they had a faster ramp than the flagship/higher priced models.

Post could be false, indeed.

But, if first deliveries are really on 11/30, then Tesla should be securing commitments and payments asap, and I would imagine Tesla is contacting people now. Securing this amount of money isn’t a trivial decision or process. Plus, it wouldn’t be surprising if the price was correct.

Definitely, but ill bet it's legit. A comparable R1T is around that price now so it makes sense.

Uh, you know Teslas can use all chargers, to include CCS, chadamo, V1 & V2, right?

When we get access to the SCs, we still will not have "more" charging options than Teslas.

If that price is accurate it’s about what I was expecting. It’s definitely not the super competitive number some were expecting to undercut the competition. IMHO the only way this thing sells is if pricing is very cheap. This will only capture the true believers.
