lol, so true. I literally will have those two polarizing thoughts every time I see a photo of it.
It's looking like they dug their own grave with both the CT and 4680.
and yet he's been highly responsible for more revolutionary and breakthrough technology innovations than pretty much anyone alive today AND he's actually put them onto the market.
Some name callers may not be so wise.

Oh… buts like the Delorean…. Wait. He got stung by the FBI, went to jail and his cars were trash. Next up the CT.

So you know how this stuff works. Idk. I'm sure it's common for people like electricians to have seen people do stupid things over the years that they assume everyone is going to do stupid things. But in fact that really isn't the case. Considering the number of people, homes, and electrical devices today, fires and other accidents are quite rare.
I don't have gas service at my place. Our home is all electric. We went geothermal a few years back and absolutely love it. For cooking, we went induction and I will NEVER go back to gas. Gas sucks compared to the control (instant and precise) and comfort (never have a hot handle) you get from induction. It also doesn't heat up the house and foul the air like gas. We have a hybrid water heater and a heat pump on the pool. We still have a resistance electric dryer but in the summer we hang most of our clothes outside. If/when the dryer dies we will get a heat pump one as well.
Thank you for the reality check on transfer switches. They are simple devices to prevent someone from doing something stupid (back feeding the grid) but have nothing to do with the wiring of the house. I am more than capable of remembering to disconnect from the grid before powering up.
The CT is fine. All of the problems stem from the 4680 development not happening as fast as Elon thought it would. IMO they should have shifted the CT to use 18650s and kept using 4680s in the MY until the 4680s were ready but they chose not to do that. They delayed the CT until the 4680 was "good enough" and shipped it.
You mean the plan they unveiled in late 2020 where the estimated 3 years to realize all the benefits based on starting to realize them in 12 to 18 months?
What grave? They are producing 3GWh/year off one cell line and are in the process of installing 7 more at Austin. Even without improvements, that's 24GWh/year which is greater than the production capacity of the entire Nevada factory was in 2018. (35GWh in 2022)
Cybertruck has a wait list some number of millions long.
Your mistake is thinking all those cells are destine for the CT, as we know the Y also uses the same cell and on top of that the cell production is for all Tesla's globally. So in reality maybe 1-2 of the current lines make cells for the CT.
They aren't the same cell, just the same form factor.
The 20 million cell number was from line 1 which is now being changed over to Cybertruck cells, like line 2. In the near term four lines are at least 12GWh or roughly 100k Cybertrucks.
Lines 4-8 could theoretically be Cybertruck or Y, but either way, that's a bunch of additional vehicles 100k trucks or 150k Ys, even without improvements (which were 40% Q2 to Q3).
The Y isn't currently using 4680 cells. Unless I am misunderstanding what you are implying, but currently only the CT is using the 4680 cells.
Please @mongo :
Please say the line isn't millions long.
I want mine NOW. I have cash......please....please.
If you can believe X, someone who reserved after the delivery event was able to configure and order this week.
OTOH, many hour one reservists haven't...
The Y is using the 4680, very well documented on this site and in teardowns. Actually the Y was the first Tesla to use the 4680.
This video tear down was done over a year ago....

We took delivery of a 2023 MY AWD, with 4680 structural pack, straight from the Austin factory in May, 2023…….
I don't understand what you are trying to say. May 2023 is before September 2023 which is when they stopped with 4680 Ys...
Here's why Tesla discontinued the Giga Texas-made 4680-cell version Model Y AWD - Tesla Oracle
It's difficult to trust anything they when it comes to 4680 production. Tesla has been quiet until just recently and that's after almost 4 years. Seeing is believing. They need to ramp up CT production.
I imagine it had something to do with front loading 4680 production for the CT.
