Topic: ~ Buying a TESLA CYBERTRUCK with BITCOIN ~ - page 3. (Read 5803 times)
Interestingly, I’m reading on Twitter that people who have multiple Cybertruck orders are getting phone calls from Tesla telling them that they have to give up one of their orders. Plenty of folks are starting to complain because they had planned to give one to their wife, etc. That might also help speed along the preorder queue.
So not one soul here got their hands on one?
What happened to this delivery event I thought I'd see em on the road this week so far nothing.

I think the delivery event was a bit of a misnomer and more like a publicity stunt than a general release. As far as I can tell they just gave out about a dozen or so to some select 'buyers' and even they were probably affiliated with Tesla or the media or something so I doubt you'll see them driving around unless you live in Texas and happen to have some luck. I haven't seen anything to confirm that they're actually been given to people on a wider release yet.
I am in Texas . Have never seen one.
You think a smart PR move would be to give them to people who would advertise for you?
Especially considering they don't market!
I feel like they cybertruck is holding some customers emotionally hostage ...this thing was supposed to be out already!
There's seemingly been very few delivered outside of the release event so you're probably unlikely to spot one. Plenty of youtube reviewers seem to have had access to them but not sure even the big ones have their own. I just don't think the thing is fully ready yet or they certainly aren't producing them in any substantial volume.

I think that's exactly what they did. I barely use youtube but my feed is full of cybertruck "reviews", not sure why, maybe I accidentally googled it from my throwaway android account. This "influencer" shit after the fake "delivery event" is probably their strategy in selling the truck that's 3 years late at twice the promised price.
Yeah, definitely probably more of an event to please shareholders and calm any worries people may have about the truck but I still think this is likely a long way away of being released properly to the masses. Even Tesla has put a date of 2025 for the entry level cybertruck.
I will keep waiting for the truck.
Good luck with that waste of money and supporting clown Elon 
Before you spend any money on Tesla or on any other electric crap vehicles, please watch new movie Leave the World Behind... maybe something clicks in your head.
It's probably nothing.

they offered a 1000 dollar discount and six months of free charging . to reward me for my preorder.
the catch is thats for taking a model 3 by dec 31.
I will keep waiting for the truck. 🛻
based on that offer maybe june.
A lot of the delivery date will depend on how they expand deliveries. Right now they’re only shipping orders to California and Texas, which is a bit depressing for me. I’m crossing my fingers they expand to Arizona soon but we’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully they’re seeing a lot of preorder cancellations with the new $1000 deposit.

eBay is getting flooded with so many cybertruck preorders that Tesla has started requiring a $1,000 deposit (non-refundable this time) to convert your preorder to an actual order in hopes it gets some people to cancel who aren’t intending to actually purchase for themselves. I hope they keep this up. Gotta weed out preorders from flippers.
I can't actually put my hand around it, OP was saying stuff about the detailed report on Cyber Truck and how he Pre-ordered it way before it got to manufacturing point and at the end of it all he stated price of Bitcoin.
May I ask, is it ideal to state the price of the Bitcoin as a concern?
When it was ordered, the price of Bitcoin wasn't the same as it is now so its not a concern to me. For all we know, OP may have converted Fiat to Bitcoin few seconds before he ordered it.

I had to add the Bitcoin element for the thread to be relevant to this forum. The comparisons of BTC when ordered to now was the expectation that the price in BTC would go down over time, which it has. I haven’t converted anything in relation to this order yet. My expectation is to convert BTC to fiat when making payment if BTC is not being accepted.
I also need to update the OP with the new pricing…

The front middle seat was dropped because there is a display there and they could not figure out airbags with the display for the center passenger.
I have owned a six seat full size truck for a decade. I have had five in it multiple times but never filled the sixth front center position. Maybe a young small person would not impinge too much on the driver but it’s just not a high priority.
I'd rather have the extra seat than a display. I'm sure they could have found a place to put it or a tablet or a smaller screen somewhere else - maybe even make it detachable so people can move it around or put it where they want. Maybe having one on the roof that can fold up/down when needed like a sun-visor. If nobody is in the back it's useless and is in a bit of an awkward position. Could have even just used an app on each persons phone as that's what most people are glued to anyway. For most 6 seats probably isn't needed but it's ideal for families with three kids and/or a pet etc. I have seen a couple of people complaining that they needed the extra seat so it will effect those people for sure. I think they should consider having a six seat option in the future.
I’d personally rather have the display. How else would I play video games while the car is driving me around? This is basically a giant steel sports car. Not a minivan.
Why would you need one in the back when surely you'll be in the front? Like I said before, most people just use their phones or tablets to play games on the go but I think a movable screen would have been far more useful, especially having it dead in the centre isn't ideal unless you're sat right in front of it. Much better to have it moved to wherever people need it.

The launch event was hit and miss for me. The price rise is understandable due to inflation and I think most expected they wouldn't be so cheap but $61k is still a good deal in my opinion. Are the trucks actually being slowly shipped out to people now or did they just give a handful of trucks out to a few select buyers (and no doubt they're Tesla affiliated somehow) and they won't start shipping out to plebs until next year or maybe even 2025? On the UK site you still can't put a deposit down just sign up for notifications.
As far as the design goes it still looks very exciting and there's not much I'd be disappointed by. I wish they would have kept the front middle seat though as three seats in the front would have been a big selling point. I'm sure Tesla could have figured a way to make it into a folding seat or something that can be put up or down as needed but maybe there's safety issues in that.
Unless you absolutely need the range I don't think this is worth the extra money and especially at the expense of sacrificing bed space.
I'm sure the truck will be improved and the price should fall with inflation and as production gets streamlined.

It looks like this is the range extender that takes the Cybertruck to 470+ miles of range on a charge. Leaks on the website also suggest it will have a $16,000 price tag. I’m not sure if it would be worth it, but I’m sure in certain situations it would be nice to have. I think it would have been cooler in the bed storage space, but maybe there will be aftermarket options.

The cybertruck is built with the 4680 cybercell. Right now it is actually inferior to the older Panasonic cells from Nevada except possibly on cost. It has 5% less power per weight and size. They should actually be able to get minimum 10% better. That would apply both to the truck and the range extender. I expect at least 5% improvements in the next 18 months. That would bring it up to the 500 miles people seem to want.

Yesterday i see this video which i found very interesting about Cybertruck, i have to say it look a little bit better than before for me, i dont know if its only my mind getting used to or because this polish feels better.
Anyways good review.

I did finally receive communication from Tesla about my preorder. I guess this is how they’re trying to keep preorder holders who need a new car immediately happy. It read the following:
Cybertruck is Here
And your reservation is in the queue. While you await delivery of your Cybertruck, get $1,000 off the lease or purchase price of a new Tesla.* Place your new order by December 31, 2023, to qualify.
I have not received that email. I have a very early first day order. I ordered during the event. I would use that $1000 offer if it applied to inventory model Y, as there are already some at $3000 off. Cybertruck is Here
And your reservation is in the queue. While you await delivery of your Cybertruck, get $1,000 off the lease or purchase price of a new Tesla.* Place your new order by December 31, 2023, to qualify.
