Yeah, people definitely should not listen to the CEO and only info/marketing source for a company. What idiots! Next you'll say that people should trust their doctor for medical advice.
People should listen both to CEOs and to Doctors but do their own risk analysis knowing Doctors and CEOs are neither omnipotent nor omniscient

How is paying $7k for FSD six years ago and getting almost nothing a legal thing to do?

*The word "lie" implies knowledge that you are lying. I think Musk is such a nutty narcissist that he actually believes his own bullshit, and isn't actually lying. Just totally unreliable.
The enhanced autopilot abilities costs up to that much as a package from other manufacturers.

True, and also not really relevant to the conversation, in the context of promises versus delivery. $7k for semi-automated lane changes is pretty stupid.

Yes, quite relevant: It proves they aren't getting 'nothing'.

The free hardware upgrades performed are also evidence the package is delivering value.

I think you missed the word "almost." But we'll see how it shakes out in the courts.

I'm hopeful that Elon Musk decides to give up half of their 50% profit margin in order to really catapult the Cybertruck to overwhelming success.

I guess it's possible that there will be a single motor 3 seater cybertruck. Maybe that comes in at $50,000 but $70K, is more likely in the current price structure. From there, I think the best you can hope for is that the price scales by $10K per motor:
$70,000 single motor
$80,000 dual motor
$90,000 triple motor
$100,000 quad motor

Hope I'm wrong and it's way cheaper. We'll see.

That would be equal to four years of 15% inflation, assuming no predicted inflation (which would be silly).

I'm not saying you're wrong, but...

-Crissa

PS, Inflation for the four years were 1.23, 7.7, 5.1 (so far), and 2.6 (predicted) percents. You'll notice that's much, much lower than 15.0%.

I’ve got a really low number from the morning after the reveal I don’t think I’ll be using…….
I’d love love love to get that from you if you are serious!

There is no 50% profit margins. That’s a number Someone pulled out of their posterior based on a pile of assumptions and sky high pricing.

I would like to meet the person that can make that case: “Tesla knew they couldn’t make it”.
Those people actually exist.

They are the same people who claim Tesla's quarterly financials that they file with the SEC every quarter are fraudulent. And the same people who used to claim Tesla had huge secret lots to park vast numbers of new cars because there was no demand for them. And then they would fraudulently count them as sold on sales and production reports.

Of course that doesn't explain how Tesla has amassed a $20 billion war chest of cash reserves. They probably think the money doesn't actually exist; it's just accounting fraud. Oh, wait, some of them have actually said that!

Also does not explain how Tesla is in top 4 ranking of cars sold month after month in multiple countries and I don't mean top EV but top 4 of all cars including ICE.
