If it was another $10k, that would be very tempting.
I think the reason the longest range will come out later is to get that range it uses newer battery tech and/or more efficient motors. If there was going to be a timeline slip (that used to be standard with Tesla production) it will be the top model. Maybe after that, I could see them put out a model that is two motor but with the larger/newer battery pack, but only after they have produced a lot of the full price tri-motor models first.
With the Model Y coming out ahead of schedule and now the rumors are saying the Semi might come out early as well... Could be the Cybertruck might be early by 3 to 6 months... but if I got in line/queue now, I assume it will still be over 2 years before I got to the front of the line. I just do not see them producing the Cybertruck in Model 3 volume, so getting through the wait-list will take time, even if more than half cancel.
