I just saw a Lightning on a drive out. It looked high end and nice.

Cybertruck? That will never be released. We've been waiting like 6 years now.

This is why Tesla has a problem, if the legacy automakers are all ready to go EV wise.

Thank GOD GM invested $850B into a next gen small block V8 though.

I think I posted an article in the Tesla business thread, they just brought in a Gigapress that would produce Cyber Trucks and are assembling it in their Texas plant: https://insideevs.com/news/631575/te...ress-in-texas/

For everyone who has paid a deposit and/or wants one, good.

I haven't had the pleasure of reading through the Tesla business thread yet, that one should be good and juicy. Haha.

I like a lot of EVs I just don't like rhetoric unsuccessfully shoved down my throat. I personally wouldn't buy an EV though, love V8s too much.

LOL. I think the Cybertruck looks awesome.

Would I buy it over a GMC Hummer? That would be a hard no.

Can you tell me what the Lottery numbers are for this weekend please? It was announced in 2019 with deliveries in 2021. How is your math 6 years?

What "problem" are you referring to? The fact that the CT is delayed or never coming as you're predicting?

"Delayed" I don't think is the right word. The problem is Elon Musk likes to make promises and break them. Tesla is in trouble because like I said the legacy automakers are all on board now. If you're referring to the unveiling when he broke both "bulletproof" windows.....not the greatest argument. It was formally announced on 2019 but Musk was teasing since way earlier in the decade.

As for gambling advice, try your own lottery numbers, maybe your wife's DOB. I have a lucky number myself but I don't gamble.

Well that statement I'm going to humbly have to disagree with. Take a look at Tesla sales numbers, orders, deliveries, revenue and profits. It's the other way around, all other automakers are in the red. The Model Y is pretty much going to be the best selling car

Elon's superpower is promising the impossible then delivering it late. He will get it done. To be very clear, Elon is not the one doing it Tesla is they employ over 120,000 people.

All legacy auto makers lose money on every EV they sell. The more they sell the more they lose. The more EVs Tesla sells the more they make. Now tell me who is in trouble here.

Wait, didn't Tesla go YEARS and YEARS before even turning a profit though?

GM also went bankrupt and was bailed by the Government. They are not known to make the best decisions
