Talk about an article filled with supposition, several statements are straight up fabricated.

-Crissa
C&D articles are always like that - hyperbole based on hyperbole. At this point, until there's trucks coming off the line I'm not believing anything. Just too much unknown.

Until IDRA delivers the 8kT gigapress, there will be exactly zero Cybertrucks produced. Unless, we were wrong about the larger casting…

That C&D article is like the girlfriend who immediately assumed you were dead, facedown in the gutter, when you didn't answer your phone for an hour.
Well now. Apparently, you have had very kind girlfriends. In my experience, the girlfriend would be the one to make you end up dead, facedown in the gutter because you didn't answer your phone for an hour which clearly means you were either hiding another girlfriend or just purposefully trying to scare her.

In any case, the end result is pretty much the same.

Crosspost, but relevant.



Also… what terrible timing on an article. Tesla is very likely to be talking about timelines in a couple weeks.
Terrible timing? More like a perfect opportunity to get more clicks! Gotta post more FUD if you want to get paid. The most clicks come when everyone is desperately looking for some shred of news during a quiet spell.
