+1 His tilt light was on, big time. I'm no fan of Disney, so I did like his special wave to Bob Iger.
Musk Says Tesla ‘Dug Our Own Grave’ With The Cybertruck
- Thread starter 97prizm
- Start date
I like Musk in some ways, I like that he is vocal about what he stands for. Im actually glad the "X" is now in his hands.
I cringed too when he spoke of advertisers but you know what? Good for him!
Many people and surprisingly even in here are a bit used to going with a narrative. This guy stands up to and SAYS what he thinks is right and could care less what others think. I wish there were more like him.
Some in here even think I am against Tesla, Im not, Im against $7,500 that is given to his company.

Freedom of speech isn't the same as freedom of speech devoid of consequences over said speech. Jury is out on how much of an impact it will have on him. He's really creating an issue for NASA. They can't do business with a company whose CEO is perceived to have anti-Semitic tendencies.

I generally do not like people walking neo-nazi line.

At that point, he was supposed to go down. But, it was: hey, he is a genius. So what?

When the interview goes:
Musk: Jonathan I am here bcs. you are my friend!
Interviewer: My name is Andrew.
Things are not good!
+1 The interview was awkward to say the least, but interesting.
Calling something Nazi that is far from it shows intellectual laziness. I have previously avoided this conversation because of the political overtones, but the Nazi comparison is over the top.
I'm not going to try to defend everything Musk says. He doesn't need me to do that. I do think the American public owes him a great debt that can never be repaid by eliminating clearly unconstitutional government censorship of at least one form of social media at great personal cost.

After more than 4 years, the specs are largely worse than they claimed.
11,000lbs. towing (they said up to 14,000)
2,500 lbs payload (they said 3,500)
Up to 340 miles range (they said OVER 500 lol)
And how does it have way less power than X/S Plaid?
Rivian and Silverado EV destroy it on range, and so will Ford T3

Although the first examples of the Cybertruck are now in the hands of what Musk promised were real customers, just 10 left the event. The company says that production difficulties mean that it will take it until 2025 before full-scale production is running. In the meantime, at least the people who put in a pre-order know what they’re getting now.
So its a redo of the last event? And the rwd starts at 60k instead of the really nice 39k that drew alot of the initial fanfare.
For a first for Musk, v2L will be available

To be fair I thought the marketing term was always Armor Glass. That said this is Elon marketing 101. He’s said before that they’d promise things in development before the tech fully existed. He just fell short across the board.And they switched from “transparent metal” windows to just throwing a baseball at it

I like Tesla. I don’t preorder or put deposits on anything. I’ll buy something at its merits. I know especially if I did order a Tesla before production that some disappointment is coming my way. Most are this way though. I know a guy that cancelled his Ford Lightning order for the price adjustments.
CNBC said Elon looses $40,000 on every Cybertruck he builds.

Also, ct has a range extender in the bed....but its an additional battery pack that nonrwd models can option up
Certainly far off the claims. Especially when compared to GM's offering of a flat out massive 212KWh battery, it does seem that the CT falls short.
Yet, when compared to what we know about battery energy density, overall vehicle weight and pickup truck energy requirements, the CT is almost exactly what many of us expected. Maybe even a little better. Tesla would have to install 220++KWh worth of batteries to make it any where near their claims. If they can find the room to do it.
None of this is easy or cheap.

I’m amazed it’s under 7k lbs. It may be the only thing they did right.
I'd be shocked if that's all they're losing. Production has to be a fortune, and they have all the R&D costs.
