Oh OK. Thanks for the reference on semi and people thinking may translate to CT. My view is four motors was stated by the company and for performance reasons and that’s what the best performing truck EV out has (Rivian)and EM always wants to have the best product so unless we hear otherwise …...

This all seems still a bit loosey-goosey, and under the assumption that scalpers make up a material percentage of the orders. That’s why I am curious if there’s any data; my guess is it scalpers actually make up an extremely small percentage of the orders maybe even 1% at the onset. Don’t know...

First of all pardon the typo on my voice to text feature now back to the point though : yes, maybe I don’t get it (which I humbly stated, hoping someone to have some insight) my original question is not being answered : why does Tesla care about a few scalpers ? what percentage of the initial...

Why is everybody so concerned about scalpers? Maybe I’m not getting it .. It only affects for anyone not in line and it’s got to be a super small percentage of trucks sold so who cares? To be honest, even though the crazy prices, some scalpers can pull on limited vehicles and people think...

Didn’t Elon say quad motor would be happening? Has there been any update from Tesla since then saying anything different?

Good points , that make sense especially since I don’t think they have a path to profitability on the lightning from what it appears so would make sense the 2025 platform is what CT started with from the top priority from a design intent (low cost to manufacture). Let’s hope they both scale...

That is awesome. You got a Ducati! Regarding general automotive purchasing, especially an EV buyer, I’d argue most buyers are rational will see all the options at the time of purchase, as it is the largest spend made by most household aside from housing. In your case, you still ended up with a...

I think lack of switchgear and a large screen, for a lot of the controls may be a nonstarter Best have military vehicles designed for that application instead of trying to adapt a cybertruck That said, it’s probably one of the most military looking design for civil application vehicles I can...

It might also be easier when you have to lower the drivers side window, do the reach around and grab the wiper and slam the ice off it while you’re driving down the road.

Not sure how much that applies to automobile purchases though. When people are ready to buy. They look at what is available in their budget range for the product category at that point in time and that point in time is usually may be a couple weeks to a month tops for most buyers, when they...

Isn’t legalized FSD 10-15++ years away? At that rate, I’d rather put my money in an index fund and take my chances, don’t like funding others development.

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but noted on the concern of potential cost of wiper blade replacements. I am actually more concerned about the cost of a windshield replacement. I am still stunned on how my main stream high volume model three windshield replacement cost between...

Wow now that’s what I call a very high-quality response! That is awesome and great perspective. So I agree with all of it. There is one point though that I don’t know if it’s getting the attention, it deserves. And that is all this is contingent on Tesla having SUPPLY. So if Tesla is able...

Oh, OK. I see your point no I do not think cybertruck design target is the lightning , the cyber truck should blow it away. In specs and performance that’s why I find it hard to believe it will be priced so much less than what the current lightning is going for but again I think we should just...

I don’t think those are insults. I address all the questions head-on. However, you’re the one that ducks questions like “pricing being different” Putting that out there and implying it was not meant as higher….uh yeah. I used Ford F150 and F150 lightning interchangeably as a benchmark as yes...

Oh my God I feel like I’m arguing with Sheldon on big bang theory Is your argument really “he said different?” That means the pricing could be one penny more or 10% less? Wow. Clearly too much of the Kool-Aid being drunk, and even when Elon himself tells us how it is and people choose to...

Yet no one from Tesla has made such follow up comments to this. So last word from Tesla is pricing will be different and if you cannot really understand the obvious of what’s meant by that let me translate different means higher.

OK sure I will drop the comparisons to Ford when Tesla stops doing so including on launch day of this product when they show it in a tug of war against a….Ford. If you don’t see a Ford F150 lightning, or ice, as a comparison or benchmark, then I cannot help you.

Considering Elon, musk, himself said prices are going up from launch on this one. It’s tough to hold onto the belief that they will be maintained. However, I hope you’re right! As this will be the blow away cheapest electrical vehicle out by a huge margin, (relative to its competition, ) which...
