It’s hard to dispute the Model S Plaid.
Well .. there is clearly no demand for it as Tesla cannot prdouce them fast enough to ship them everywhere.
They are losing market share! Just look at the .. OH SQUIRREL! THERE!
I'm talking about the inside. And if someone wants something funky they can certainly add it, but it doesn't come from the factory looking like a clown car.

Does anyone know if this "production release" shipped last weekend? The latest timeline for FSD Beta is .5 - 1.5 weeks from now 
(Tweet is from Jun 6)
Edit: I guess the Twitter thread included profanity, the part from Musk that I was referring to was:
"One more production release of pure vision this week, then FSD beta 9 a week or two later."

OK, I'll keep marching after that carrot...

The markets are on edge before the Federal Reserve's policy update in the face of surging inflation
The Fed is not expected to take any policy actions after its meeting this week, but it is likely to signal that it is thinking about them.

does anyone feel like this week's max pain chart looks odd? enormous spike of 450 puts. Any possible explanations?
Not that the following matters to Tesla as CT will sell out with US demand for years to come.
Using Australia as a comparison, most of the Australian pickups (called utes) would be considered midsized in the US. We had around 10 or so on our farm (sold now) at any given time in various stages of repair - new for tasks that required high reliability and roadworthiness, old beaters for short haul trips around the farm. Side loading was used frequently, as was the ability to carry items wider than the truck resting on the sides of the bed. I'd imagine loading sand/gravel in the back of a CT via a loader/tractor would be more tricky as the bucket would need to go over the wings, not just the height of the bed. There's quite a few other tasks I think the wings will make more annoying to perform. Certain truck mods would also need to be redesigned (e.g. stock crates).
I don't think the design allows for Cab/chassis sales either - which take up a reasonable portion of the market - and allow for modifications of the bed to suit unique needs.
Anywho I don't think farmers are the target market for CT and my thread is ignoring all the benefits in this post a powerful EV would have. But I'd want to test out a CT for a while before committing to it over the traditional shape.
10 year owner of a full size pickup truck here. I have the smallest engine model, 2WD, 6.5' bed. I have carried hundreds of loads from sheet goods, scrap, trash, furniture, rock and soil etc, usually 1-2 loads a month. Of that time, I have side loaded probably 4 times. In all of those cases, rear loading would have taken 15-20 mins more time but would have been possible. So when I get my cybertruck, it will cost me about 10 minutes of lost productivity a year. Not getting gas or oil changes will make up for that within two weeks. In that time, I have put very roughly about $12,000 worth of gas into my truck, so on cheap electricity I would save $9000 over the life of the vehicle, making the cybertruck a no brainer.
Edit: No, the sides of a modern pickup truck are not a major impediment to side loading. And just maybe, side loading on the cyber is actually possible anyhow if the operator is careful. Side loading for me has always been dirt or firewood.
People who think Gordo is actually 'smart' should really reconsider:
Even one of the biggest $TSLAQ had to chime in:
Anyone interested in reading about his latest BS...

Won't kneeling make it way easier to side load Cybertruck than ICE truck??
Gordo never was good with numbers.
Just FYI, that TC account is the parody account. The TSLAQ one is TeslaCharts.

A nice summary from Lars at Best in Tesla, production numbers matter more than the number of models being offered, right?
This beautiful creation must be electric. No exhaustLol, too funny! Sounds like they could have cooked the burger ON the taycan after a few laps...
Cheers!
Yes. The big Lead-Acid-Battery is in the middle black part.This beautiful creation must be electric. No exhaust
