Spill the beans Greggertruck!

Joe should have shared with his Patreon followers first. I am thinking of stopping my support. He is clearly going after more followers and no longer needs the backing.

Sorry John, this was the deal. I don’t think this should cancel your support. Wait for the dump he’ll post in a bit.

It was I either get pics and undermine him, or he releases and I retweet them. Notice I didn’t just take the pics and tweet myself like I sometimes do(with credit)

Sorry this frustrated you. Just wanted everyone to know all at once!

It'll be a great view...

I want to play this down guys... the community seems to always be "let down". This is not specs or any crazy leaks. Just that we will get our own very mini "production update". very very mini.

The reason I can't / won't tell yet - is I literally CAN NOT. There is a piece to this that isn't me or within my control. Tomorrow morning, we SHOULD either be bummed or reassured.

Love to all. I hope this is cool for everyone else like I think it will be. It'll ALL make sense and hopefully clarify how this isn't me "clout chasing". It's out of my hands. I just know how this SHOULD go.

That's not what I want to hear! I wanted it to be the Bender machines. They can solve that one easily by just buying more Benders, lol.

He just needs to hire this guy.

I am not talking about your pics but his pics which you posted after he posted to Twitter. I have no issue with what you did whatsoever. I have asked Joe before why he posts to Twitter before to his Patreon supporters and the claim at that time was that it was faster or that the Patreon site had issues. For me that can only work once. Joe is entitled to do with his channel whatever he wants. I do like the large set of images he shares with his Patreon followers, but he makes it sound like they are the only ones that get them until the video later comes out on YouTube. In fact I think it is great that they go out to multiple outlets; I'd just like the link at the same time that they go out. Its a selfish thing and I own up to my failings in this regard.

Um... Next week is the BEGINNING of Q3. Delivery event is the END of Q3. So literally 1 whole Q from now. Talk about a long countdown.

But I guess compared to the nearly 4 years we've waited so far, 1 Q is but a mere rocket launch countdown.

Was definitely a busy news day in Cybertruck land.

Because things which are newsworthy should be put out to Twitter. It both keeps him relevant - letting him get his scoops - and lets us discuss this stuff.

I sub to his Patreon to, so he can make his videos. The piles of extra photos are a bonus, not why I support him.

I support him for the GigaAustin videos, too, which he has begun to steer away from (Boring Co, SpaceX, etc.). Like I said, it is his channel but I support for one reason and it appears he has enough of a following now that that support is no longer necessary. I am sure that he views the imminent onset of Cybertruck production to some degree as the end of this journey (as do I). Hopefully with some relief. On the other hand he seems to want to continue.

Anyway, I made my original comment because Joe could easily have posted the link to his Twitter post to the patreon group but didn’t. For me it is not about value but about principles.

I’ll just say. When the blue notification lights up, and it’s Elon, and then you have a gazillion people blowing you up; it’s kinda crazy.

Can be hard to walk away, but I did off and on in May with a lot of hard personal stuff going on. Good to be back, but I’m looking forward to being totally irrelevant and riding off into the sunset in my Cybertruck soon.

nah, if you’re paying, it should come with reciprocation

patreon isn’t understood to be an anonymous donation portal

We should get a full rundown of every little detail well before the delivery event.

Maybe delivered to showrooms for some test driving for those wishing to do so before handing out the full purchase price.

Drivers side front door skin? it appears to be notched out for the exterior mirror.

Yeah but someone wrote on it with a permanent marker. Now it's ruined
