That's not even a real number!

All fake. 🤠

I think one of the signs that the DeLorian wasn't going to do well was the founder trying to raise funds through the sale of cocaine. He couldn't even get that right lol 😆.

Elon can be a clown sometimes, but generally I never bet against him. A member on the Polestar forum bragged to me how he was shorting TSLA. I've PM'd him over the last month to ask him how that's going. So far only silence

Shorting TSLA is setting money on fire. Some investors are still doing it and saying Cybertruck will be a dud.

Why the Cyber Truck Should not Exist
For once, I'm going to give Tesla a break. While I'm no fan of this Weirdo-truck (it's ridiculous-looking, IMO), I also don't agree with the thread title questioning its existence. We have a free automotive-market, and if Tesla wants to introduce this monstrosity and see if they can actually sell some in the American (and world) truck-market, then fine.......produce it and see if it sells. Frankly, I myself don't think it will convert very many established F-150/Silverado/Ram fans, but I could be wrong...I've been wrong before when predicting sales of new products.

Most people are wrong when it comes to making Tesla related predictions, myself included . I thought Tesla would be a niche product that only rich nerds would adopt and I never imagined the Model 3 would out sell cars like the Camry. Was I wrong

Obviously it's only safe when there's no other cars on the road.

See, another reason this truck should not exist.
