!!!! Do it
An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands. We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn. Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built. We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond. Worth a conversation?

“Hey guys, we will give you your money back because we don’t want to make the product you want. Go back to your old gas car so we can launch a 2 seater anti-family cab in the cities over the next 5-10 years.”
The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people. This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

It’s so obvious this is a terrible idea
The end. Cybertruck is dead. Here are my thoughts.

“We made the best vehicle and there will never be another like it. So we decided to discontinue it to produce a 2 seater cab that people will only use as a utility vehicle and never have any personal affinity towards.”

Elon, he's exactly on point. We need the utility the CT offers. Ending this with no replacement is not something many of us can agree with. Hard to put sheets of plywood in the back of a Model Y or Cybercab. Don't make us buy a shitty Rivian.

Elon paid more than $11 billion in taxes last year. What the fuck did the government do with it, Anne?

The person I feel the worst for today is Elon, because all he wants to do is build things and make humanity interplanetary; and now he's going to have to spend so much time and resources fighting bitter little Democrats. Like a lion having to swat at flies all day.

One bright spot in the election returns, in a non-binding measure, Idaho voters chose the Winchester 1873 as the state gun.

I get stopped at least 4 or 5 times a week in parking lots. Same convo every time Yes I love this vehicle. Best thing I’ve ever driven. Yes I can drive on road trips. Yes it’s got a “full tank” every day I wake up. No I’m not worried about the battery blowing up. Yes it drives itself. You should go test one out. You won’t go back to gas.

Whenever I feel demotivated i rewatch this... Elon Musk in a living room in 2008, 12 days from bankruptcy, pitching a $109,000 car to people...

If the Chiefs don't, at minimum, bring in a kicker to challenge Butker during the offseason, it's malpractice.

We are launching the Tesla Robotaxi safety report today. Till date, Robotaxi has driven a total of 3.3 million miles autonomously, and has had zero injuries nor airbag deployments. If the same number of miles were to be manually driven, we should expect roughly 9 injuries to the occupants or other pedestrians and 4 airbag deployments on average. We will continue to transparently share our progress with the public using this page. tesla.com/robotaxi/safety

Colts paid Daniel Jones $90 million and traded 2 first round picks for Sauce Gardner so they could give the pathetic Titans their first win of the season
