@lg3103, accept both Cybertruck’s!!!
Early reservation holders will fetch huge profits when flipping the Cybertruck due to overwhelming demand. The “must have it now” crowd will pay way over MSRP. I predict a $30k - $60k profit can be made on the early production trucks when flipped on eBay...
The big elephant in the room is the new Cybertruck pricing structure.
Will it be 10%, 20% or 30% higher than advertised in 2019?
Elon officially said the reveal prices are history. Tesla will most likely drop the $40k Single Motor version due to the low reservation take for that trim.
I had a strong suspicion from day 1 that manufacturing the Cybertruck using a true exoskeleton would make the truck unaffordable to the masses.
The Cybertruck was promoted using a 3mm thick stainless exterior. Because of weight and cost I predict the production version will use a thinner gauge...
Many are stating that the $42k repair bill for a minor fender bender was fraudulent.

My drivers side body panels were all misaligned when I took delivery. I almost walked away during delivery but I knew I had a 7-day return right.
My local SC addressed everything to my satisfaction and the truck looks great now with near perfect panel alignment. Luckily I had zero paint or...
At least Rivian was transparent with you.
Transit damage happens more often than we think. I am also on a Raptor forum and some of the damaged in transit stories are amazing. Vehicle fires, trucks falling off the transporter while backing down the ramp, etc.
The vehicles are transported by 3rd...
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. I would have refused delivery or asked for a refund within the first week.
I rejected two 2021 Model Y’s due to paint issues and inferior panel alignment. I got my Tesla rep to order us a fresh Model Y from the factory, not something from existing inventory.
It arrived...
My local SC is 7 miles away. If it was 50+ miles away I would have purchased a different vehicle. My SC has already outgrown the building and service appointments are currently 2-months out.
We all need to remember that Rivian is an automotive start up and no guarantee that they will be around...
IMO the biggest challenge to R1T demand hasn’t arrived yet. It is a competitor called the Cybertruck.
If Tesla decides to price the Dual Motor Cybertruck at $64,990 it’s going to take the wind out of R1T sales. I’m confident this threat has been discussed among the leadership team and what...
