Elon said the vehicle has 2,500 of payload. The argument is dead...

the page also refers to just "payload" and doesnt claim it's "bed payload only".

Totally agree. Even though I won't be going through with my reservation because it doesn't check all of my own boxes, that certainly doesn't mean it's unsuitable for everyone. I just watched the Top Gear feature on it and I have a great deal of respect for the engineering work that went in to the vehicle, and it just pains me to say that the Silverado EV is better for my needs because I know that GM just threw a crap ton of battery at the solution rather than better engineering. But the bottom line is each individual person has their own needs out of something that is a significant expense and no vehicle can satisfy everyone. That is, after all, why the biggest car manufacturer in the world still only holds less than 14% of the market. Everyone's different. Anyone who claims that a particular vehicle or company is a failure because they don't satisfy absolutely everyone and dominate the market is either delusional or has an axe to grind.
That's a clear sign he doesn't know what he's talking about, and should be ignored. I'll wait for an unbiased review from TFL, etc.

Agreed. All the shills are doing double time today to keep this thing afloat…. Oh wait, it no longer can server as a boat, for short water crossings?
My guess is it will sell in the same volume, or a bit better, as the Model X once the initial sales bump is finished next year. The target market isn't that much different IMO. We'll see how this shakes out over the next 12 months.

If it’s lucky, it will become a niche market product that caters to a specific small set of customers. Will be interesting to see reservation conversion rates, say a year from now (assuming they actually start delivering this _____)!
Protect the "story"? You've been dealing the the "reasonable" ones.
There is a hard-core pack of them around here who think that they are on a "mission". Those are the fun ones.
Well, almost as fun as the vegan pack ....
The market close for Tesla was down .55% today. I call that pretty flat. Tesla didn't get a bump today, nor did it meaningfully drop. That tells me that the market had already factored in the CT pricing and specs within their expectations. I said some time ago here, that the only way I see this competing, is if they can do so on price, and I doubted that would happen. It looks like investors on a whole, came to that same conclusion previously as well.

Quite a reach….
You might want to revisit this post and make an edit. As I tried to explain to you before ( yesterday) the stock has dropped on almost every event/earnings call.
No
For you lolThe stock barely moved today and was actually up ^ late in the day
Ended slightly down $1.10 for the day.
So in retrospect, perhaps the cyber truck news is being taken as a positive since it rose from almost $7 down

Yes, I expected more of a drop today - true. Maybe it will take a few days to trend down, maybe not. Time will tell.Quite a reach….

On a day the S&P was UP .59%, the Dow was up .82% and their most direct competitor was up 7.6%.

Yeah, and there’s THAT…
Friday tends to be a low volume day. Will be interesting to see it at open on Monday, after all of this news has some time to steep…
Haven’t heard. The RCs that people reviewed were the tri motors. One new owner said he didn’t know which one he bought. Obviously easy to know based on how much they paid but haven’t seen that from anyone either.

$135k if you let Tesla wrap it and install the range extender…the hard plastic inside of the door in his video is on point for a $100k truck
the market for $80k+ vehicles in a 6%+ car loan environment isn't that large... Not having any offering for $60-$70k really limits the market in this case
I take this as someone who doesn’t understand common truck specs or over simplifying.
