Ahead of schedule? Would’ve like to see more of the truck in that pictureFirst Cybertruck produced in TX:
Tesla has built ‘first Cybertruck’ at Giga Texas
Tesla announced that it has built the “first Cybertruck” at Gigafactory Texas. Is the electric pickup truck ahead of schedule?...electrek.co
Now that the top of the car is built, get back to work and get the bottom done.

It's a production version. All others were prototypes.
Didn’t see this post, initially. That sucks. Glad nobody was hurt and hopefully no serious damage to your car. Good news is your insurance company can’t raise your rates for an accident of this nature.

Direct from Ford, maybe some additional info.Lightning price cut from Ford:
Ford slashes the price of the F-150 Lightning EV pickup | TechCrunch
Ford announced significant price cuts to its F-150 Lightning electric pickup, citing improved manufacturing efficiencies as the cause of the lower price.
So F is going to lose more money on each EV sold! :)Direct from Ford, maybe some additional info.
Farley was heard saying, that Ford's price cuts are better than Tesla's price cuts because they just are.
The price cuts look pretty meaningful. Whatever the prices, I'd buy 3 Lightning's before I'd even rent a flying triangle Cybertruck.Direct from Ford, maybe some additional info.

You could be on to something. Could be a bad strategy.
Eh, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet. Elon may be referring to bang for your buck. Think Model Y vs MachE vs ID4.
But it's fun watching someone so anxious to unintentionally humiliate himself for our entertainment, no? And wouldn't that mean we want him to post even more?
Lower unit rev when already losing money + same COGS = more loss.
Sawyer Merritt is a real twat.
Poor Sawyer's cult mentality on prominent display. Someone said something bad about the object of his worship. Instead of laughing it off like a normal person, held onto it for several years so he could issue a tweeted "I told you so".
Agreed with what? Its proportions had nothing to do with that.
Rivian makes major pivot from trucks after dismal 2022 — has the change led to ‘the best SUV ever made’?
It appears that the future for Rivian could be bright.www.yahoo.com
agreed with this. its a better proportion as an SUV.
I agree with the pivot. as a truck, it’s styling i awkward. But as a SUV, the styling is much better. Why is it not a good sign?
Their SUV is pretty amazing, see a bunch in my area. Higher income folks are used to paying top dollar for a nice SUV, so focusing on the R1S over the R1T is probably a good idea. Also, like that RIVN is in the commercial delivery truck category as well. Company may be a big winner down the road.Rivian makes major pivot from trucks after dismal 2022 — has the change led to ‘the best SUV ever made’?

Hotcars was 1 of many who predicted the Model Y would flop, no demand, never be made, was vaporware...etc. This was not a one-off prediction. Rewind further and you'd see similar predictions for Model 3, some of which were valid as the Model 3 ramp nearly buried Tesla. We now see history repeating itself with Cybertruck predictions. I think we know how this will end. I believe that was the point of Sawyer's tweet.
Disagree. If you're digging yourself into a hole, stop digging. Rivian is narrowing their resources to a single product that will sell in volume. The name of the game is lowering COGS, manufacturing efficiency, and economies of scale. It's become crystal clear offering multiple models with multiple trims doesn't work w EVs, especially in the early startup stages (see Lucid).
A “debate” about if this or that particular car will sell is stupid and pointless. Most well-adjusted people participate in such meaningless debates out of boredom or habit or trolling - it's momentary entertainment. They don't actually care what happens either way. It's forgotten about entirely minutes after moving onto something else.
Because it's a truck platform best-suited to a truck. And it was the only midsize (ish) electric truck out there. Also, their first product, highly anticipated ...so not really great that it failed. The whole company was based around the idea of rugged, capable adventure vehicles.
Not sure who/what you're disagreeing with.
Elon Musk decided to create the Cybertruck because he thought Ford's trucks were 'boring,' biographer says
Elon Musk isn't a fan of Ford's traditional pickup trucks and his distaste helped spawn the Cybertruck, according to author Walter Isaacson.
Was this another 420 idea?
