Now, let's hear you hair-split that this is not a promise and just "hopes and aspirations" that we consumers and stockholders should not hold him accountable for these words as the CEO.

Well, 'we hope to have this by 2021' is a hope and a target, not a promise.

Which is my we have refundable reservations, not deposits on orders.

Now you are contorting, there is no "hope" when he said it "would make it to the market by the end of 2021."

Anyone that takes forward looking statements as fact is naive. All forward looking statements are subject to change. They are not promises or pinkie swears. In the world of adults a promise is a contract. I suggest all the people that think Elon or Tesla promised a certain date should file a class action lawsuit and see if a court would actually hear their plea for relief. Grow up.

Some people could use a good ole Spock slapping!!! or a drill sergeant...pull yourself together ?

Or themselves to snap out of it..

For me personnally, in 2019 Tesla released statements saying that deliveries would start by the end of 2021. Whether that statement is a promise is immaterial. The fact is, if that was their intent, they had lots of actions that needed to be carried out in order for that to happen. We, (reservation holders, and the public) have not been communicated with, or shown in any way, that Tesla has been working towards accomplishing that goal. What really nails this home for me is that here we are 26 months after Tesla made that statement with no finished design specs. Not a finished design vehicle, but just the specs!

Chip shortages have NOTHING to do with the design specs.

Enough with the slapping! Nobody needs to get slapped!

Therefore you made material choices based on those statements. So you have been wronged. Sue Tesla! Orrrrr. Slap yourself to snap yourself out of it. It sucks to wait but bellyaching about Tesla will not unchap your ass.

I think the CT has issues beyond Elon. Inflation is a huge problem and supply chain. If I were in his shoes, I would not want to ramp up and then have issues. In order to keep the CT price competitive, Tesla needs manufacturing efficiency and a robust supply chain. That is not possible currently. During this period, Tesla can refine the manufacturing process and the base model and options. I think the CT will be the first Tesla with the most options. The options will help to keep the previous prices close to reality.

Hey...you starting to look better and better...

Dids I always value your opinion and comments. BTW I have absolutely no intention of sueing anybody. I'm not writing my opinions on here to unchap my ass. I waited almost a full day to calm down and voice my opinion without too much temperament. This is a public forum where people with like minds or desires congregate, mostly to express themselves. You are one of the people on here that I enjoy reading comments from the most. Sorry you don't like what I have to say, like others stated, I honestly do feel like walking away from this forum for awhile. Time will tell. It's just not much fun at this point, and it seems kinda pointless.

And a business is a business. Sure, focusing on the CT would be sexy, but they are still tinkering with the design and it would be a terrible business decision to prioritize that over their high-demand money makers (3's and Y's).

Elon and Tesla made a grown-up decision and it was the correct one IMO. Around me (Dallas suburbs) about 3 years ago Teslas were a bit of a novelty. Now they are a car that you see at almost every stoplight. I cant remember the last time I took a drive, walked the dog, etc and didn't see a Tesla. That is a pretty impressive transformation in my book, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Frisco, TX seems to have the highest concentration of tesla drivers. Must be an HOA thing.

Big man's word is a big word, you have to be careful on your words when you are the most famous auto maker's CEO. Isn't this common sense? To your kids, you're a big man, when your kids want to go to Disney land, what would you say to your children? "In a month or so" and in 2 years still didn't book any ticket? GrowN up?

Man... why people now become this soft and when people hurt your feelings by broken his words, and you just keep kissing his A**? Is stepping back one of your habits? We, as a group of customers, need to become a union and give pressure to Tesla! we are hundreds of thousands of people, we should get together and let them get their job done! Rather than fighting for his ass, this only makes Tesla PR team happy and keep delaying our CT!

Let's be real...there will not be a 40k or 50k cybertruck before incentives...cheapest will be 75k+... if that. How can a large truck made of stainless with air suspension..armored glass and rollable tonneau cover be cheaper than a MY LR, with a global output this year of almost 800k units this year. Stainless steel is crazy expensive
