Yea, they're said to be outreach recruiting events - but I don't think it was but 3 hrs. Maybe really trying to get some new heads on staff though. There WILL be some whispers on Cybertruck I'd bet, which we will cling onto for dear life.
Posted in another thread, I do think there is a solid chance we’ll get some AI related stuff about the truck. Maybe wishful thinking.

Pretty sure Tesla wants to draw this out as long as possible.

At this point, totally. I think it’s not for totally selfish reasons though.

you’re aware I’m sure with all the material pricing falling. They could be trying to lock in material vendors at sensible pricing. 2023 is gonna be a rough year to introduce a 70k truck.

I don’t see how Tesla has any trouble pricing this truck at an appealing price at this point.

Early indications from Tesla’s management suggest 4680 will be massively less expensive than current cells purchased from Panasonic/ other sources. On top of that, Tesla should qualify for the “Advanced manufacturing production credit” which should bag them a $5,000 - $9,000 subsidy for each Cybertruck. That’s above and beyond the ~7,500 IRA tax credit many will qualify for.

That extra tax credit will more than offset the effects inflation has had on raw materials pricing.

Now Elon tweeted about a waterproof feature on the truck with no provocation/ questioning, shortly after talking about how there will be hardware demos at AI day. No hopes, no hopes. Keep cool..

I wonder how brief that "brief" is. He says
it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas
So I can't imagine it being very brief. But the last thing I'd want is to be crossing a "sea" and run out of brief half way across.

Makes me wonder if the CT would allow me to "drive" from Seattle to the San Juan Islands.

Lots of fun islands around here. But the tides also make for some dangerous currents. And I'm not sure how the local orca population would react to a CT "driving" by.

Orcas are curious, but they're not known for toppling boats in the area.

-Crissa
I'm more thinking about the amount of sound generated. Boats around here are not allowed to approach the orcas and have to turn off the engines whenever orcas are near. With the electric motors, there would be far less sound. But if the forward momentum was from the wheels churning the water then there might be a lot of "sloshing" noise. And I remember a video of a Tesla in flood waters in China making lots of noise:


Perhaps the CT can just get a jet drive added for water propulsion. Perhaps something that can attach to the hitch mount so it's not always on there.

One jet ski type water pump drive, with a steer by wire nozzle built in to the underneath of the rear bumper, with two pipe adapters so it can be used as a water pump for firefighting and irrigation. 😎
