Which moves faster, that production line or Gary, the snail, over at The Boring Company?

It's not like Tesla to fake progress to look like production is moving, like we've seen at other EV factories.
A likely staged picture of 7 CTs tells us nothing.

Agree, but it does create the perception the production ramp is going better than Elon's comments on the earnings call.
How?
Did some assume they weren't going to make the 10+ they were going to deliver today?
It's an awesome picture, but tells us nothing about ramp.

Will there be an "also..........." product intro today along with the CT? That is the question. $25K car concept perhaps?
I was hoping for that. They did make close to 2000 units by now.
Love Tesla even more now. Sandy has always been good for them and he's been invited. So have many good youtubers. ZERO corrupt media. They had heard yesterday.I think that's Tom and Lars on the L/R ends.
P.S. Sandy looks like a 6-yr old waiting to meet Santa...
Well, I, and most people at the time, paid $10K more for a Model S 85, than a 60... that's only like 65-75 miles difference...
I understand that 300 is "enough" territory for many, and there's diminishing returns for how many people will pay for more... especially with the density of the supercharger network now.
That having been said, I believe the Cybertruck is likely to be subject to even more conditions that reduce range. Heck, I'd bet that just having the bed-cover retracted might incur a significant penalty at highway speeds. Not to mention towing, bulky cargo items in the bed, off roading, train, wind, etc...
I'm willing to bet those big tires having to push rain water out of the way, some "stuff" in the bed, and a bit of wind, and your 500 mile range could be 325. Towing makes it 250...

Oh, you had to ruin it.
There's no line workers, they are self-assembling O M G.
True, but we have never seen anything like this with Semi. So in my mind, this looks like a production tease for all those who said it would never deliver. There's some PR in there for sure!

I've not seen many people report appointments for delivery .... are they under NDA ?
I made it my background. I love the photo, but seeing that and thinking "the ramp is going to be better than expected" is a leap too far.Oh, you had to ruin it.

Elon walks the cybertruck production line highlighting the difficulty in certain sections and mid-sentence opens a door to a separate prototype production line for the modular lower cost tesla, quickly shuts the door and exclaims, oops sorry that's for another day. And keeps walking
"Better than expected" is subjective to each individual's expectations.
Doubt it, anything else distracts from the main show. (Although, The Eagles AND Steely Dan are touring together these days.)
The picture doesn't show any sort of ramp. They've made like 2,000 at this point. Maybe it's a joke, but see 7 CTs in a row doesn't provide good or bad insight.
If only that were Optimus' foot we saw below that open door...

Id be beyond happy if they deliver 100 CTs today. 50 would also be pretty good.
This is not like the model Y, which initially was a tweaked 3, or like the 3 which was basically the S, but smaller and cheaper to build...but still basically a sedan,
The CT has a completely new style of production. They are going seriously out on a limb with a radical production method, radical design, and entering a completely new market segment.
I suspect in 10 years time we will look back and think that even if it took then a year to make the first 10,000, it was still worthwhile.
It already looks like proper production is ahead of where the semi is. Very excited for today.

.Really? Did not know, have to check for future concerts. Thanks. Love Steely Dan.
