Yes, that is known. But my point is that doesn't hold up when we've seen countless views of the CT without camo skin.

That only holds water when you haven't seen the vehicle in the wild before. Doing it after years of actual views of the vehicle, for this reason, is nonsensical.

The camo wrap is just another way to draw more attention to what’s to come. Who really believes that the 2 broken windows were not suppose to break? Of course they were going to break. They threw a shot put at a piece of glass. Had it not been for the whoops, do you really think it would have had all that free advertising and 1.8 million deposits?

The question is, are these the final design minus the wrap. Eventually someone is going to grab some video of the interior while stopped at a light or in-n-out burger.

More free publicity, more free advertising, more Tesla stock goes up. Less it’s going to be out of pocket for us that also bought shares when we put down deposits.

A win win for all us Tesla investors. Not too late to buy some shares.

People still don't believe in the BAW?

We need to start a big BAWS club. A big club for people with BAWs
Big BAWS Club? I believe the acronym BBC is taken... In more than one way.

Hi Rick,
You and I believe the same thing about the windows...Here's why I believe it was intentional....I was at the unveiling in the front row. Watched Franz throw the shot puts or whatever you want to call them. After the primary showing of the vehicle and presentation, here's what happened while people's attention was diverted (food, drink, etc.). They rolled the working (initial) truck off the platform, and replaced it with a model that wouldn't drive (just for show). Many people didn't even notice.

Then they took the working truck with the broken windows and rolled it behind the stage (I watched) and they had a crew go to town and replace the windows. This was the vehicle that was going to be used for test rides. They got the window replacement finished and ultimately rolled the truck outside to get ready for the test rides. I asked myself..."If the windows were really not supposed to break, why would they have all the parts necessary to replace them, along with the crew of people that did the work pretty quickly"? It started to smell to me like it was planned from the beginning....And there you go....

I’ve thought about satin black quite a bit. Being a pilot and a plane nut, for obvious reasons. Here is what I think the CT would look like in Satin Black…

This is clearly the trimotor variant, on full suspension lift!

I can see the military salivating right now... needs a machine gun stand! I bet it would outdo any Hummer.
It honestly reminds me of a hummer. It's really big and imposing, wide wheel base. People don't remember now but 25 years ago hummers were everywhere, people paying 70K and then getting 10 mpg so they could drive those vehicles that were of very limited practical use in a civilian context. And those frickin things definitely didn't last on the road, you almost never see them now.

But yes, there is a very obvious appeal of this vehicle to the military. I don't believe Elon wants to make military equipment though.

Thanks Randy. First I’ve heard the real story. How did you get invited and first row. Did you get the test drive afterwards too?

Like I said, If the windows didn’t break, it would have never had all the media coverage and free publicity. Elon knows how to work the Audience and the 1.8 million reservation holders.

Since Tesla doesn’t really have paid commercial tv ads, Elon found a way around it and all it cost was 2 pieces of glass. The person who thought of the PR stunt should be rewarded with a CT.
The people who invested in Tesla are already being rewarded with a “Free Tesla”
The question is what model. A 3 , Plaid , CT, Roadster or possibly a semi truck to haul away all the cyber money.

Hi Rick,
I got invited to the Cybertruck unveiling because I had racked up the required number of referrals in the previous referral program. I forget, was it 4 or 5? Something like that. We got there early, were near the front of the line, and when they opened the doors to the Hawthorne design center, we crushed in with the crowd and immediately went right up to the front of the stage just to the right of center. Other people were distracted with restrooms, finding their friends, grabbing drinks off the trays of the wandering waitstaff, etc. We treated it like a GA concert and went right to the front...
