$73k Pre-price hike buyers have dried up. There is no profit to be made flipping an R1T at the new price point. A seller would be taking a financial loss.
I don't think many R1T buyers are cross shopping with with an F150 V8 Raptor R pickup. Two totally different pickups.
R1T resale auctions on Cars & Bids and BAT have fallen off a cliff. I get notifications on new postings and have seen a major decline. I think the flippers are done flipping. I...
We will see. New CT pricing is all speculation at this point.
Industry experts are all over the place on predictions. Some say mid $60k for the Dual, others say $89k for the Tri/Quad.
I read that manufacturing efficiency/simplicity was built into the concept truck and this was how Tesla was able to offer the Dual Motor Cybertruck at the 2019 price of $49,900.
Manufacturing the truck with aluminum alloy Giga castings and no paint shop were supposedly a big reason behind the...
Yes, Cybertruck pricing is the big elephant in the room.
Also, this isnāt going to help vehicle or housing sales;
āThe Fed hikes interest rates by a quarter point and hints at another increase this yearā
I own a $75k āpre-price hikeā 2022 R1T and hold a second reservation ājust in caseā (not pre-price hike) and was invited to The Shop today.
The $90k plus pricing for a Quad Motor R1T is crazy. I never would have considered purchasing a R1T at the new price point. I simply donāt see this price...
I love my Rivian and my R1T but if the Dual Motor Cybertruck starts under $70k itās going to put significant pressure on Rivian to lower R1T MSRPās.
I think pickup shoppers will overlook the designed by aliens styling if the CT offers a better value.
BIW with front and rear aluminum castings...
I read somewhere that the standard range battery pack, 270 miles, wonāt be available until 2024.
Rivian will be motivated to offer the lower priced 260 mile battery pack once the Cybertruck goes into production. Tesla claims they now have 1.9M CT reservations.
I would have rejected the truck on delivery.
I rejected 2 Model Yās due to cosmetic defects that would require repainting to correct the flaws. The 3rd VIN arrived 3-weeks later and was nearly flawless.
The 2024 Cybertruck delivery event this fall will be exciting with Mr. Musk on hand to deliver some of the first Cybertruckās off the Austin, TX production line. They will most likely be going to Tesla employees and suppliers.
Tesla should be revealing the date next month.
All Cybertruck...
If you think YT R1T videos were bad wait until the Cybertruck goes into production later this year. All of the early adopters will be posting videos left and right.
Unfortunately the R1T flipping party is over. Supply has caught to demand. It was a different story at the beginning of the year.
The Rivian assembly line is feeling the impact as well. You can now get a brand new R1T in under 2-weeks.
Non-Tesla vehicles will most likely be paying a higher kWh rate than Tesla owners on the Supercharging network. Tesla needs to keep a competitive advantage for current and future Tesla owners.
