If all the above testing cycles still needing completion is true, that seems like they are a year away from production. By all the other indicators, production should start relatively soon. Not in a year. I was hoping these were all early samples, just needed for crash testing.
I thought so as well, and blocked Fast Company after my news aggregator suggested it.
Although since that TikTok video with the two carriers came out there is a clear problem with panel alignment. It might just be a matter of alignment and not panel sizing. But either way it needs to be fixed.
I've read several articles on this case. The last article I read (maybe not the one quoted on this thread) said they drove from Colorado to California in March of 2022. Colorado Arizona and California in spring of 2022 was, in fact, a mild year.

Musk needs to go as CEO.
