Biggest CyberTruck delay was factory to build it. Not to mention the new manufacturing processes needed to build it. Honestly it is why none of us should have ever believed the initial timeframe for production. What were we thinking? There was no place to build the thing.

Has anyone heard of any Cybertruck deliveries since the delivery event. If Tesla doesnt deliver a nice amount before end of year then the delivery event really seems like just promotion. Sorta like the Semi deliveries. I hope this isnt the case.

He said a post that echoed what triggered the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre. Dont downplay what he did.

Not just his tweets, but tweets he elevates by responding to. You have to wonder why he even sees some of these people he ends up promoting. Maybe it is the "For You" algorithm that puts those tweets in front of him. Who controls the "For You" algorithm? Oh before saying not investment related...

Ahh we can charge up when we get Bagels. Great little NY Deli in the same plaza with great bagels.

I used to and now Elon gets brought up and I wont defend him. I do spend time every day responding to FUD articles on news aggregators. People ask me why when they are just trolls. I do it because without it people dont see whats real. Yet I refuse to defend Elon antics.

Im sure this will get out to the general public. You know the people telling me the last few days you cant get a Tesla lower than $60K.

Or let hitmen from oil companies do the opposite. Still say this is the sort of advertisements needed. Not an advertisement showing CT being shot by a machine gun.

So tired of seeing FUD article after FUD article. Barrons - The EV Meltdown Is Obscuring a Disaster for Industrial Stocks Fortune - Elon Musk’s affordability problem—Tesla is fast running out of early adopters, but its cars are still too expensive for most buyers If only someone or some company...

Real question is which happens 1st bankruptcy or Lucid cars with NACS

Why advertise to existing owners. I want FUD fighting advertising.

OK. It is the activation I was talking about. Alexa is how we control most of our house. Lights, Heat/AC our biggest problem is 2 Alexa somewhat close to each other causing confusion. Set a timer for cooking and the family room picks it up, create another and the kitchen picks it up. Dont think...

I would like if you could initiate voice commands with a word. Like Amazon does with Alexa. Like "Tessie, Wipers On" rather than hitting button and then say "Wipers On"

You want to vote the vast, vast, vast majority of revenue and economic prosperity of the state out of the state. You honestly think anyone comes to Illinois for anything besides Chicago?

So spent some time fighting EV FUD today and got a new crazy statistic thrown at me. Did you know that the US grid needs 700% more electricity to support a conversion to all EVs.

I still dont know why people go through tires. We simply dont. Our 2015 Model S had to have the tires replaced once and we sold at 120K miles. Our 2018 Model 3 still has 2 original and 2 replaced because of picking up a bolt. I guess if you jackrabbit start all the time it could wear them down...

We go to a Sushi restaurant that uses these. They deliver the appetizers which you take off yourself and server deliver the Sushi.

Amazes me people dont see this. At this point EVs are very political and politics therefore have a material effect on Tesla stock. When I push back on EV FUD elsewhere I get more attacked as a libtard then the data I present.

One thing that I would like to see added to Navigation is way to put in your own preferred routes. There are a few places we go where the Navigation doesnt pick the preferred way we like to go. Say give option to remember the route I drive and then save that.

You mean complimentary wrap? Only issue is that isnt permanent.

We have our Tesla account hooked up with M1 Finance where we get 10% back for all Tesla charges.

Thats why it has to be different. How about a special etching in the hood. Something that isnt hard/expensive to do when production line is very low volume.

See stuff like this every day on content aggregator sites

Honestly Tesla should be calling the launch and maybe the 1st X,000 deliveries as some special release and have some special badging or coloring of something.

Here is the newest FUD article that was presented to me. This is what advertisement/education needs to combat...

The problem is Wallstreet will take the change as further proof that people dont want EVs like the fact that Mercedes has months of stock for an EV that costs 1/3rd more than the Model Y and has less capabilities. Still I see multiple FUD articles every single day. The FUD articles that...

Still not even announced in the United States.

Feel a number of credibility items for Tesla to achieve. Successful CyberTruck launch that isnt a duplication of Sem launch. Start delivering November 30th and continue delivering in ever increasing number aka a ramp. Hit 1.8M Transition to Model 3 Highland worldwide quickly and in volumes back...

Tesla never planned on building the CT much earlier. They had no place to build it, let alone the factory equipment to do it.

So by my calculations a Model Y LR bought last year at the price then and at average interest rate has a monthly payment about $100 more than buying a Model Y LR now at the current price with current average interest rates. That doesnt even take into account the $7500 tax credit.

US new auto sales for the entire year are expected to be just under 15 million. So I dont know what you mean about US auto sales declining 12M in July and August.

Deflation destroys economies. People start waiting for purchases that arent 100% needed waiting for price decreases. Maybe someone should tell Elon.

Hmmm. How many new cars were sold in Q3 in the USA. Last I checked it was millions and the Average Sales Price was about $50K. Sure seems like lots of Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y would fit especially with the tax credits. So I dont think it was the economy. It was getting people to choose a...

What changed so drastically since Q3 2022 and Q3 2023? Inflation has gone down and what interest rates have been risen like 1%.

What I posted referenced multiple studies.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/intentional-insights/202303/the-surprising-truth-about-remote-work-productivity#:~:text=Studies%20show%20that%20remote%20workers%20are%205%20to,balance%2C%20preventing%20burnout%20and%20increasing%20productivity%20and%20retention.

What I dont understand is why dont they build another Model Y line in Texas and move a line from Fremont so they can start building Model 3 Highland lines in Fremont. Unless they dont plan on bringing Model 3 Highland to NA until late Q1 or even Q2 2024 when is Tesla going to start the switch...

I knew that was always your reason. You dont trust people.

Describe this improved economy? Job reports start booming? Inflation below 3%? Interest rates below 3%? Wages growing faster than Inflation? Speaking of inflation we are about to complete a year when what Tesla cars have dropped in price like what more than 20%? This also has caused other car...

Do you think people negative on Elon would actually go to a Tesla showroom?

He should have lead off the call with that. We told you at the last call our numbers would be down because we were making upgrades that should cut costs longer term. Instead he leads off with FSD hype (again) and then focus on the negative of the Cybertruck rather than be excited they are launching.

Who said every job should be remote work. I am talking about jobs that can be remote work or hybrid. I mentioned those because they skew commute times down. Forcing people to go into work well because because is putting more burden on the people that cant do remote work. Elon whines about his...

Yeah the people that work in my local McDonalds, Starbucks and other low wage retail business have commutes measured in minutes.

I have been saying this for awhile, but you just did it so much better. Thank you.

You know the least productive time of the day for people. Spending an hour each way driving. Not just the time driving, but the time getting the head on straight after the aggravation of driving or other forms of commuting. My wife works for Avanade and although we live in a close in suburb to...

With all the CTs leaving the factory I have to believe this ramp will be different. I do believe that launch wont be just a few on the 30th. I do believe that rumor that they will also deliver in other locations the next day. That would do a lot for Tesla, but the downer on Cybertruck expense...

Incomes were a lot lower 25 years ago. Hell Tesla's were a lot more expensive a year ago. I still believe Elon antics have driven down prices more than Macro environment.

Yeah people are really spoiled. Look back into the late 90s. Economy was very health and rates were still higher than this.

Elon speaking "truth" isnt the guy I have paid attention to the last 2 years. I am not talking about just bad estimates.

Like driving in commuter traffic. There are jobs that simply dont require heading into the office every day. The commute just makes life harder for people, more costly for people, traffic worse (especially in USA where public transportation sucks), and more dangerous. I also think this is just...
