False, he contributed when he had stock options come due. He sold enough to cover his taxes. A few months later he sold some more to cover a down payment on Twitter. Elon paid nearly $15 billion in taxes in a single Year. Thats the most ever by a single tax payer. I think we can stop hating...

I think Tesla may build the configurations they want to build first, and they will then match it up against existing orders. With as many reservations as they have, there will be abundant interest in every single configuration.

I hope someone from day one does this!! If we can just spray some crap on there and make it look like the one in the video, I am in!!!!!! I was planning on wrapping, but this would be so much easier.

Aka the Cyber solar oven

When you deplete the battery you'll run out of energy. Load management, and monitoring will be important. If Tesla gives you access to the 220 volt output, I assume they will give you access to load management and monitoring.

If you have 220 v in the Cybertruck, you have potential for back up home power, in case of an outage. Living in FL, this is an attractive option. All you would need is a genset transfer switch on your home, and a cord to go from your truck to that transfer switch, theoretically. You would have...

The announced date of share holdings of record was over a month prior to the announcement. So buying shares won’t help after the announcement. I don’t think that was the reason. They have limited space, and massive interest. It seems fair to give top priority to those that invested in ownership...

As a shareholder, I hope Tesla's first release is their Halo version. I hope it has all the bells and whistles, and spares no expense to be the absolute most awesome vehicle ever built. Compromise will ruin the brand. If the first models off the line are $100 to $120K, and they are all over...

The quad motor talk came in when Rivian talked about their quad motor, and showed it do a tank turn. I think Tesla did not want to be out done by Rivian. Then Rivian never enabled the tank turn, because it would be disastrous for the environment. I am guessing Tesla figured out they can make a...

Just run online that sucker and sick the panels in while the lining is still tacky. It’ll never squeeze or rattle, in the words of T. S., “like, ever”

I saw the Cybertruck in that photo, but is there any speculation what was under those 8 covers?

I think $50K is the sweet spot for mass EV truck adoption. I think 350 miles of real range, and over 200 miles of towing range is the minimum sweet spot. If Tesla can hit the dual motor promised specs and price, they will be closest. IT seems Elon hinted at that when he said Ford had a great...

If at first you don’t succeed, tri tri again

probably oughta invest in SerVaas Labs, makers of Bar Keepers Friend. That'll clean this stainless right up.

I am guessign that Franz was one of the designers that was not emotionally bought in. Franz is the father of Tesla's design language. If you look at his designs throughout his career, including time at Mazda, and GM, he has a style. But I am guessing the difference is that Franz appreciated the...

Everyone over paid for everything from 2020 to 2022. It’s unfortunate that some of us over paid for our teslas. But inflation and huge demand are hardly Tesla’s fault. Now inflation is coming down, and Tesla prices are following. The Toyota I traded for my Tesla, was 5 years old and 60,000...

That a rapid unplanned Y axis inversion

Keep in mind Cybertrucks shape was a function of range and efficiency, not storage capacity. If you need tons of drunk storage, then you need a 200 mile truck. That space costs in aerodynamics. If you need more miles, you’ll just have to throw your stuff in the back.

Just buy 3 model 3's from inventory. You need to use your referral link. That will get you the credits you need to get an invite.

I think you took a few points out of context. Model Y is the current high margin car for Tesla. There are reports that the new Highland Model 3 will be lower cost, and higher margin. So my comment was that the new refreshed model 3 would likely be the high margin car, as well as high volume...
