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

[wtlloyd]

Yes, it was the first time I postponed and it was legitimate that my delivery window at order was January-March 2023. I still was surprised how easy it was. The advisor did press initially that I would get a $3750 discount if I picked up the car before the end of the year.

I didn't even talk with anyone, I just ghosted them and ignored emails that my order was up. I place my order in late July, and at the time availability was Feb-Apr.
I need to build a garage, and I want the tax credit, so I was trying to stall. Then, they just sent me notice that I was on hold until Jan 1st. Not sure what happens then, but I'd like to wait as long as I can delay it so the car isn't out in the weather this winter.
But I will take delivery when it is forced rather than lose the order.

Don't know if this is legit. Cybertruck casting:

From this perspective, the rear - that transverse slice behind the rear doors - looks highly asymmetrical.

Seems fake, the Cybertruck roof tapers as soon as it hits the peak, there's no flat section.

Cybertruck

Cybertruck is designed to have the utility of a truck with sports car performance. Built to be durable, versatile, capable and high-performance both on-road and off-road.

Yea, looks fake. Even the dude there and the rigging looks un Tesla like.

Seems legit to me. I think the flat section is an illusion based on the angle of the picture and the body is tilted forward a bit

The floor line should be tilted forward a bit then, as well. In the photo, it's parallel to the roof. Not so with the Cybertruck.

How can they make it without a 9K ton Gigapress up and running?

Notice that it's not sitting flat. If it were after the peak it would be angled down like it should be. Also as @AudubonB points out, this shot is at a heck of an angle, which distorts it a bit. I don't think it's a fake.

@Gigapress, did you have a chance to get into GigaAustin and did you get a look?

 

[thesmokingman]

What angling down? The floor line of whatever that is established the floor of the chassis. The roof is not angled nearly enough to come close. And then there's the random black extrusions going nowhere in the back, wtf is that?

 

[SmokyPeat]

Interesting. Not sure what I was expecting for structure, but that seems more endoskeleton than exoskeleton to my eyes.

Look at the yellow striped safety barrier and align it with that.

 

[Darkfox021]

Also, is this section even being casted? The body is the frame. Aren't the castings for the undercarriage, like the Model 3/Y?

Not nearly slopy enough.

Evidence: Cybertruck

Can someone explain to me like I’m five Why TSLA would go up 5% at some point today while the whole market was red while we saw multiple FUD Reuters/Bloomberg articles about Tesla reducing production for this month?

Also, why is there a firewall in the back of the passenger cabin??

Bit of a tilt when aligned properly...

The stock market is crazy and often does things that make no sense

Seriously, I have no idea.

Well curiously, on Nov 23rd TSLA opened at 169 and some change and went +7.82% on the day, while the Nasdaq was only +1%. Maybe someone with someone with some real money thinks TSLA < 175 is a buy. The volume was strong at the open when we just went straight up.

Check out @Artful Dodger's posts from earlier today, might help... then again, might not!
