Musk just confirmed that 4680 production in Texas is online now. That is one of the absolutely vital components for Cybertruck production.
yea, but CT not going to be built until next year. but I was excited to see it except for some wide gaps.......its just amazing what has been accomplished there....didthe Y get the final EPA approval yet?

They “delivered” some, so I assume yes?

about as exciting as that Q4 earnings call, maybe less. don’t think we’re really going to hear anything at all this year. change my mind.
Eh. What we learned:

* 4680 Cell production is online in Texas and starting to ramp. This is important, they weren’t going to start delivering trucks using cells made in Fremont and Panasonic isn’t delivering 4680s until at least 2024.

* Model Y AWD SR is a thing. Not really Cybertruck related, but interesting.

* Factory is seemingly delivering cars now.

* A lot more confidence in the 2023 start of production date. Or at least he sold it better.

Also got some better photos of the Cybertruck and some of the Model Y innards.


To me the frustrating thing about the Q4 earnings call was that they said there was going to be a roadmap and what we got was just a sort of vague series of dates. This event we weren’t promised anything and we got a little bit. So this event was “better” in terms of expectation versus what we got.

I wonder how th glass fits down into the midgate. They must have gotten rid of the z bend in the midgate wall and made it straight. That would be a reason to push the roof back, but doesn't bode well for the bed length.

I am pulling an Ogre. I called the Robotaxi. It's a physical product.
That was a Big reveal. Said it like it was only worth a mention. Ohhhh BTW, if you are a shareholder, we are going to make you much richer sooner than you think !!!

Tesla will have a special purpose built moving lounge room.

You guys who are broken-hearted are nuts. The images and footage were all I needed.

What did you expect, for Elon to say they're actually starting production next week? I'm pumped because he's repeating "next year".

No, "...hopefully".
No, "...we're still working on".
No, "We're shooting for...".

Elon didn't do a long pause followed by, "next year", like he did when he said the Optimus robot beta would be built. That shit ain't coming next year.

He solidly repeated "CT is definitely coming next year." THAT is the news. The removal of doubt is what gets me pumped. If he came out and mentioned a whole bunch of new features, and said "hopefully"- I'd be pissed.

Another *very* important tidbit from this event which slid by so fast nobody noticed.

Musk said they are planning on rolling out FSD Beta to the entire US fleet by year end.

That’s pretty monumental if they hit it. It also means anyone with Cybertruck and FSD will potentially have FSD right from the start.
