Well considering a new plan is $89,999 today is another large factor.

Well Considering people are already complaining of their CTs rusting, pretty apparent they did little to no real world testing

Fake news. Metal dust on the truck's surface may be rusting, but the CT shell is not rusting.
Barron’s is a pretty reliable source. Also in case you don’t know, most stainless steel does rust.

I thought that you were an engineer. That's not what's happening to the CT. Metal dust is oxidizing on its surface.
I've dealt my fair share of hate/disappointment on the CT, but all of those cases the "rust" was removed with a product like Bee Keeper's. It's not rust on the SS and there's a video from Tesla explaining it.

And that is EXACTLY my “early adopter” point. Same will likely be the case for all those CT “Founder Edition” owners. Wait for it….

Speaking of the Charlatan’s and my earlier post…. This just in! Nearly3 different times this week, I’ve been pestered, via email, vm and sms - and all I did was go to Tesla.com for a trade in estimate for my MSP.

And while I was preparing the last reply, I just received a separate sms from a different Tesla clown.

Unreal. And now they just called (block this number), also! Three separate annoyances, via three different channels, from three different

up…. So sad. 
Note: It was about two weeks ago that I requested an online trade in value, BTW.

Would it be great if Tesla service centers actually answered the phones?

Hey.
I just went back to the future and was listening to Elon talk to his engineers_
ELON: I thought of something no one else has thought of. And I want it to be part of the Cyberturd. What if the Hub cap came out over the wheel. I mean how cool is that. No one else has ever thought of it! Am I right Am I right?
Engineers; "Oh Elon though are great.
"No Elon though are Greater."
"Oh Jesus is not thy equal Elon, Though are greatest. No one before thee could think outside of the wheel for thine hubcaps to be.> Elon is good."

Or how else did someone not go, "Elon, you're kidding right? There are some serious issues."
I would love to lie and say that was a typo, but I legitimately read it as Bee Keepers and thought it was an odd name

Just Crazy. You went into a store and requested a trade in value to buy a new car and they are following up. Just nuts. Stop into the nearest Ford, Chevy dealer and try the same. You might be just as shocked that they will do the same.

May very well be in your case Assuming you act the same towards service as the forum. I personally have had wonderful service from them using the rather simple app. Always responsive and address any concerns I may have. Both our cars have been overall problem free so not much to hate on granted I’m not Looking for things to complain about.Yeah, and with those Stealership brands you mention, when toy need service or to to talk to some out outside of sales, tou can - but not with the Charlatan led Tesla enterprise you love
The hubcap digging in to the tire was noticed way back in September 2023 by a tester. So why did Tesla fail to recognize the issue?
Look at the M in "MADE". The lower left corner of the M is cut off. I think the hubcap was rotated slightly clockwise from its correct alignment with the tire, then the tire's flexing motion, the deformation the sidewall when that spot of the tire was on the bottom, caused the tire's sidewall to press against the hubcap and gradually wear away the hubcap-shaped area.
