Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[kbM3]

Talking out of speculation... assuming CyberTruck gets this unibody (frame not body), it could help with aligning the rest of the vehicle with more precision. Maybe enough to make a watertight truck that could go into water? (Hopeful.) It would be so heavy, it might drive along the bottom of a nasty river. Video of this please!

The S protects us from airborn/fire debris, and now... CyberTruck protects us from Floods to keep you safe and dry.

All speculation, maybe real.

How prescient

I think this might also confirm a tapered rear from the roof, with covered bed for great aero.

Possibly lowering side panels to ease loading?

December 11 ARAMCO IPO should free up some cash for plays like this, how do you think they will deploy it?

The IPO represents only a fraction of the income flow they get from operations. $111B in 2018. They expect to IPO for about $60B on a valuation that is higher than the $1.7T that the market seems to agree on.

From 8-10 seconds, you can see some sort of door opening under the light bar

It's a giant truck where a door opens and then the much smaller real CyberTruck drives out the front.

Yes!! Subroc missile!! Now we’re talking Cybrtrk!!

 

[SoGA Fan Club]

Well, you're in luck!

It makes me wonder why I bother to respond to this kind of nonsense.

Thank You. I'm so thankful to have so many geniuses on this board that know everything.

 

[ZeApelido]

Yes!! Subroc missile!! Now we’re talking Cybrtrk!!

Barbara Bach comes with the truck?

 

[skybluecgreen]

Think it's just a reflection/artifact of the light bar, but who knows. If the windshield slopes down all the way to the lightbar as we suspect, the frunk may be underneath and a drop down or slide out.

Did you all notice the ghostly image that fades in at 13 seconds:

Maybe the Cybertruck underwater?

"Cybertruck design influenced partly by The Spy Who Loved Me" - Elon Musk

Does that mean Cybertruck can shoot a rocket? No.
Does that mean it can swim? Unlikely.
Does that mean it can drive underwater? likely.
Does that mean it has a slopped front? Yes.
Does that mean it can transform between a truck and an SUV? This would be so cool. I made this suggestion but I don't think there is a good solution.

Might need to cancel my flight to Europe. Why fly when I can drive.

Maybe the Cybertruck underwater?

To me it looks a bit like a bear face? Or maybe I just lack the right smoke.
Going to bed, see what dreams may come.

In Cybrtrk competition news...

In addition to brake fluid fires from Ford and Nissan, now we can add seat belt fires courtesy of GM: "We have good news and bad news. Good news is that your seat belt saved your life! Bad news is that it set your truck on fire after the accident..."

GM Recalls More Than 550,000 Trucks Over Potential For Seat-Belt Systems To Cause Fires

Not that something like this couldn't happen to any manufacturer, just that if it were Tesla it would be the end of the world in the press.

I guess CyberTruck is Elon’s hedge that he doesn’t manage to solve global warming in time.

At least when we’re living in a futuristic war torn dystopia with half the cities underwater, we’ll still have an armoured CyberPunk truck that can drive the flooded streets in safety.

Elon wants to make sure everyone watch the Cybrtrk unveil, then they will delay 30 minutes, make sure everyone get enough time to go through their online products, maybe order some cars/roof/batteries while waiting for the show.

Yes!! Subroc missile!! Now we’re talking Cybrtrk!!

I vote amphibious (they joked about that at annual meeting)

Dacia 16:14 PT: Will Tesla build an aquatic car? a shareholder asks. “It’s funny you mention that…,” Elon begins, citing a submarine car design he has. “I think the market for this will be small.”

Well, that's a new one.

This thing is so freaking bizarre that it will literally break the internet and provide months of free advertising for Tesla. Elon is so smart.

Did it always say Automotive, Aircraft and Boat?
