Sounds tough. Maybe it helps if you write a song about it.Unfortunately I went to Hotel California.
I tried to check out many times, but I could never leave.

assuming everyone ordered the same spec, which they did not."Not at first" means what, exactly?
There are probably 2M pre-orders for the CT. If half of them bow out (for any reason) that likely leaves a million who will then decide whether or not what is offered is acceptable. My guess is that most of those left at that point will take delivery. I know I will.
So, four or more years to ramp to full capacity and work through the number of CTs which are already reserved. All before this "at first" period you describe has passed and the "early adopters" have finished grazing?
What you are concerned about is this new Chevy Silverado hurting CT sales "in time" which places that time at a point between four and seven years in the future.
A lot can happen in that amount of time.
LOL...I'll believe it when i see it and if GM can actually make a profit selling this. I can see it already, "GM is preparing to launch it's Cybertruck killer, watch out Tesla.....coming in 2026" By Luc Olinga/Al Root
Yeah i wouldn't be worried:

Really?? How about:80% of the reason I made a reservation was the 500 mile range. 350 miles adds nothing to the current X.
OT but CT relatedassuming everyone ordered the same spec, which they did not.
Influencers ordering for clout + FSD arbitragers + people buying for robotaxi fleets + as a joke + whatever reason = some %
People ordering tri motor + 40k single motor = 50%
People ordering and moved on after 4 years = some %
People ordering either expectations of a certain feature that it no longer has (like 6 seater) = some %
Some % of those above overlap, but that overlap isn’t anywhere close to 100%.
Your argument is either (1) intentionally disengenuous or (2) absent of any level of critical thinking
The real wildcard will be how much people are going to be willing to pay for your Cybertruck. Most people who reserved multiple trucks probably wouldn't follow through with the purchases but if people are willing to pay 10K+ over the sales price, then they will follow through and resale..assuming everyone ordered the same spec, which they did not.

First Cybertruck off the line earlier than expected kinda counts as news.Quite the bump this morning in pre-market. Don't see any tangible news causing it either, maybe we'll see a runup into the ER on Wednesday?
I don't believe you'll have to worry about that for a few years when there will be enough production to ship outside North America.Seeing as Tesla offered us UK Model S/X reservation holders LHD models after cancelling RHD production , does this mean my CT reservation is likely to complete, even if it means a LHD model?
It's a big beast, but no bigger than a tradesman's van. NACS would need an adapter or conversion. UK Tesla SCs would need training and I presume it'd be limited to 250kW Supercharging, but frankly: whatevs.
Gimmee!
Then maybe reread your quote of jerry33 once more, slowly.All this retracted if you'd just said "adds nothing for me" so I could easily ignore towards our general opinion on CT design.
I'm willing to believe that the first Chevy Blazer (singular) is on its way to the US, as the article says.This was already covered when I had to correct ADs claim the entire launch (not just the SS version) had been pushed to 2024.
Not only are the other models on track for summer launch, first production models have already shipped from the factory-- same link I provided on this before:

I can’t understand how they can squeeze 500 miles out of CT. So it will be good to temper expectations
Sure hope this rumor is not true. One reason I reserved the CT was the 500 miles range.
200kWh battery pack.I can’t understand how they can squeeze 500 miles out of CT.
Well if GM can get 450 miles in a Silverado the expectations have been set.I can’t understand how they can squeeze 500 miles out of CT. So it will be good to temper expectations
