Cybertruck Appearance @ Annual Shareholder Meeting in Texas

[Crissa]

Big problem with November is it doesn’t fit into Musk/ Tesla’s current launch narrative of middle of next year.

A “Launch Party!” Six+ months in advance doesn’t make a ton of sense.

I don’t think we’ll see this until production is very close. Likely after we see some units that were produced on the new line. That means 4680 production and gigapress stamping out front and rear ends.

If that happens in November it would suggest they will beat their latest “Mid Year” date for production start. Possible, but less likely every day.

They did have the finished Model S Plaid show up at some race courses before the launch event, as they opened the configurator. Not any touchy-touchy, but they did do photo ops. Leno got access the month before launch before, as an example.

Six months is probably pushing it.

I’ve considered that, and I believe it’s to get people prepared and also secure their reservations. I know we allllll believe they aren’t hurting at all, and I agree - but I’ll never stop considering tomorrow as a business owner myself.

I can see this also.

The big thing in my eyes is I don’t see Tesla making any moves at this point until they have things locked down in terms of production start, pricing, features, everything. Not necessarily complete and tested, but the big pieces like the GP and 4680 production will likely be in place and the line at least sketched out.

If they unveil, then another delay happens, it’s a huge mess.

I'm not expecting anything tomorrow regarding the CT news.
I'm just glad NFL preseason kicks off tomorrow; college football starts in about 3 weeks, fantasy football draft is in 25 days, NFL regular season starts ~5 weeks, and most importantly to keep my mind off the CT, hunting season starts in 30 days here for me. Then baseball playoffs, the holidays, my active duty retirement, figuring out how to make a living post AD retirement, and ski season... I'll stay occupied until the Superbowl. But damn if we don't have some solid CT ground to stand on by Feb I'll be disappointed.

I think main piece of the puzzle is when the giga press is delivered then installed. If idra keeps the press another 2 months to show off then ships it by end of the year... hopefully installed by Feb 2023...we will see CT test bodies by end of Q1 thru end of Q2. Hopefully! Don't think it's possible to be any sooner than this.

I’m missing whatever joke you are trying to make

Sorry if it is my problem.
But if it is yours than sorry again

 

[greggertruck]

My buddy joked again, no Cybertruck buzz on site. He said "this isn't a petting zoo event".

There's gotta be some kind of language barrier here..

And answer is an answer to me though dude. I’m sure it’ll be danced around but if we get anything at all I’ll be happy

“we will touch base on the cybertruck in __month__” would be enough for me. And that’s what I’m guessing they’ll do.

A month of Elon time could be forever our time :-(

Ah but it is. At Cyber Rodro they even had a petting zoo. Who would do that?

Congrats on retirement! I retired from active duty in 2016 after 24 years... Well, I'm a GS civilian now so I guess I'm not that good at retirement...

Well well well…

Interesting, That Semi was painted there at the Cyber Rodeo, and was recently sighted in California so it's clocking some miles. here's the sighting in California:

It depends on whether Elon says, "This is IT... The finalized version." or not.

Elon has already said they reached "pencils down" a long time ago. What we haven't seen is a complete example of that (as far as we know). That said, it will look almost identical to what we have seen unless you get nit-picky. And, make no mistake, Tesla will continue to improve it over time although that will mostly take place "under the skin".

What I am hoping to get out of today
Current CT next to another vehicle, like this visual... Get some scale. Pick it apart compared to how it was staged at battery day. Maybe if tonneau is open, we get some bed visual?

And, some sort of a insinuation of WHEN the "reveal" event will be, if there ever WILL be one(There will...). I don't care too much nor have much hope for the pricing to be addressed, grandfathering or otherwise. But I could see the response being "we don't want to touch on pricing today, but we have something planned for later this year" thus lending to the 11.21.22 date I've been teasing about since like... April?

I would looooove it today was even more clarity than the joke that Cyber Rodeo was. It very easily could. There was like 3 sentences and a drive by that day. We know it has 4 wheel, what about bed? Any mid gate news? Can we see some interior in the day light?
