I would Love it get it graded but probably wont be back in Florida till next year and cant imagine sending in something Worth 80k through the mail. SimpleThings, done.
Some places will allow you to come in person and send back via special carrier though that costs $500 |

All ordered shipped out.
My red coins remain available in very good condition, being put into baggies right from the original roll. My silver ones have a few left but the remaining ones have marks, scratches or fingerprints.

I'd just redeem it and sell the physical after you've secured the BTC. The premium is so low and those of us that still have Cass coins have no idea if the private key is still legible under the Holo until we actually pull them. They are amazing collectibles but the higher the BTC $ price the lower the premium and eventually it's just not worth it with shipping, etc..
The upcoming stacks and bowers auction will answer questions for a lot of us on what the market is for these. Later this month ! |

I have shipped out all paid orders and hopefully sent a message to everyone who wants one so far.
I have limited number of silver ones left and they are circulated.
I have a number of red ones, and I am moving them from the original casascius roll to a sleeve with minimal contact.

Why did you pay more than 6 BTC?
Because Tesla (and all electric vehicles) is one big ponzi scheme and clown Elon tricked many people by adding, then removing Bitcoin support from tesla website, and dumping bitcoin. Everything about Elon is fake, but if some people like to waste money aka bitcoin on steel junk that will become useless soon, go for it. I am in the same boat. I have a very low order number, ordered it within minutes of the prices being shown. I have the ability to configure in my account now, but don't want to spend $20k extra and lose the $7500 federal tax credit. In other words its $27k penalty to order now. Of course someone just sold one for $200k plus. Damn, you could buy it and don’t? That’s crazy. You get full self driving, lifetime premium connectivity, and a few other things thrown in with that $20K. In reality, it’s probably only a $12K penalty to get it early and you could sell it for a profit and rebuy one when the price drops probably for free before you wait for a regular invite. Only reason I’m OK with waiting is because I think I’ll end up paying less than 1 BTC for mine the way things are going, but if I got the email invite I’d configure immediately. What was the first 5 digits of your preorder number? I’m 11322. While I have purchased my last six vehicles brand new, the most expensive one was $23k (MSRP $27k). I was doing a 'Tesla stretch' to get the $50k cybertruck. I would still be buying at $67k now, but $100k ($106k with taxes) is just too much. Bitcoin is the wildcard though. I would not need to sell any to buy in my budget as stated. And that is the point for me, being responsible based on my own finances. Yes, I still have considered splurging and selling Bitcoin to get it, but don't think I will. I will probably be ordering a lowest priced inventory model Y before the end of March, getting me new wheels for $35k, making the $106k even more crazy. RN11274xxxx Totally understandable. Thinking about it, I guess there is a big risk if you did buy, by the time you take delivery they aren’t selling at a premium anymore. If it doesn’t fit your financial plan, it doesn’t fit. If you don’t have anyone giving you a referral for that model Y, let me know. 3 free months of auto-pilot and me a step closer to getting one of these beasts to showcase for the community. Thanks for posting your order number. I’m still so far… I have a neighbor that wants me to use his referral, and they are a good neighbor! Oh... if I do get a cybertruck, it is going to have some Bitcoin branding on it. Even would consider Bitcoin orange as a wrap at some point, but I also would love it naked too. |

I have access to Casascius Error Coin (loaded, unredeemed) given to me by Roger Ver in 2011. This coin is not graded or rated, I would like to do so, but don't know how. I want to sell for BTC at some point soon.
I have an email thread with Roger, proving provenance, but I likely could provide more if needed. I would be shipping from Florida. Escrow would be needed for this sale.
I honestly don't know what they are worth (2x 3x?), but I would want to be paid in BTC.
**Please don't waste your time or mine trying to get me to mail you this coin before it is paid for. I am no fool. This collector's item is currently in a vault, and I can only access it with an appointment.**
I am not an expert in these but I have tried some routes. I contacted four major auction houses. None were interested about two years ago. Maybe more would be now. I see these sell for 1.2x the price. That sounds low but it is $12000 now. Redeemed they coins go for $500-$2000 as a collectable. Of course these are all moving targets but unlikely to find a huge premium unless Sotheby's changes their mind and starts to deal with them. |

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. 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.  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. 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.
I'm sure the truck will be improved and the price should fall with inflation and as production gets streamlined. 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 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. |

Pretty disappointed at the $30,000 prince increase on the AWD. I am priced out. May buy a model Y or a base Lightning.
I think a lot of people will be priced out. This definitely isn’t the $40K truck that was teased to get preorders. I think these prices will likely deter a lot of resellers too. I am glad to see an extended range option but if it takes up bed space that is probably not a realistic option. You can see a bunch of accessories that Tesla is offering using the below link. https://shop.tesla.com/category/vehicle-accessories/cybertruckAt $65k for the AWD, $15k over original I would have made the stretch and bought it. but I can get a lightning for $5k under MSRP so $48k... and then get the federal credit bringing it to $41k plus tax. Or a Model Y for $44k and then the credit off of that. Tesla is not dumb... they will probably sell all they can make for a while (a year) at those prices, then they may start to lower the price later. Maybe in 2025 the AWD will be $69k - the federal credit making it affordable to a lot more people. |

The Cybertruck towing a Porsche 911 faster than the Porsche can do a quarter mile was a pretty amazing clip.
Here’s the information everyone has been waiting on… With range being my key concern, I think the All Wheel Drive model is the way to go.
CyberBeast:
$99,990
320mi range, 2.6s 0-60
2024 release
All-Wheel Drive:
$79,990
340mi range, 4.1s 0-60
2024 release
Rear-Wheel Drive
$60,990
250mi range, 6.5s 0-60
2025 release

Well if it's going to be that expensive then they better have bullet-resistant glass on the windows this time, if not bullet-proof  Of course I know this is not the case for almost all of the consumer pickup truck types at this price, but I mean come on. Elon can send rockets to space and back, so he should be able to add some tempered glass to his cars. Unfortunately one of the features that is making the cybertruck more expensive is four wheel steering. Honestly as a truck owner THE FEATURE SUCKS. Why would such an innovative feature suck? First, it increases cost. I personally estimate about $3000. Second, and key here for me, it makes the bed smaller. The cybertruck bed has sloped walls to accommodate the additional running gear of the four wheel steering. Finally, it will make the truck less reliable. It is more hardware to break, it almost certainly makes the truck heavier and it may have reduced the payload capability. None of those things alone are worth the decreased turning radius for me, let alone all of them. Even if they offer a feature delete later, the way Tesla works it will not increase the bed size as that would be a new casting. To add insult to injury, this feature was not even discussed during the launch. I would far more want the built in ramps for example that now seem to be deleted. |

Is there any word if Tesla will accept Bitcoin payments for vehicles again?
I haven’t heard anything to suggest that will be happening but there’s always hope. If there was going to be news on this front I imagine we’d hear about it on Thursday. There have been some interesting leaks though. Including this one about a solar cover. I wonder if it’ll just be a car cover with solar panels or if it will be something build into the truck. More news soon…  It will be interesting to see what is announced tomorrow. I have a very early reservation number, within the first few minutes. I can be priced out though, if the price is more than $20,000 over the original pricing I will not get one. Solar in the bed would be interesting. With today’s portable battery packs and solar panel generators, you could build a 800 W charging set up for under $2000 but it would be in the style of the Martian where he had to pull the equipment out and set it up on the side. |
