Buying some BTC now might be a good idea. Will likely be 100k by the march 2024 halving.
Hashrate and difficulty indicators are stronger than ever.
I so want to buy 1 Cybertruck for 1 bitcoin.

Not only is this a fair price but the units are easy to remember.

CT price = 1.

No way you can't like that compared to a heap of them greenbacks or some long tediuous numerical number.

Yep, I like this form of simplicity also.
We will likely be seeing this as Bitcoin market cap approaches 1 trillion USD and the value of the USD becomes less relevant.
As Bitcoin becomes more valuable we will soon be thinking "Satoshi".
1 BTC = 100 million Satoshi.
A Cybertruck will very likely become the new measure of value in the automotive world.

I plan to name my coming 2 CT's, 'One' and 'Zero'

This is pure wisdom. I, too ordered 2 CTs. The foolishness of others...do they not prepare in case one runs its battery down? And what if you were camping and a stray bear made it its home? What if a random meteor hit your Cybertruck?

ONE and ZERO fit nicely into my one-bit brain.

As AI emerges, will it drive around in a Ford Focus? A Yugo? A Pinto? A Honda Civic?

Of course not! All self-respecting AI units will drive Cybertrucks. And what will they have bought their CTs with? Will they fill their CT pickup bed with green dollars to buy their backup CTs? Of course not. You know what they will use to buy their CTs.

I am keeping an open mind. Tesla is going up, way up. In fact, I will take a loan to paid for my truck just to keep my investment going "up" in Tesla.

hold. there's the semi coming, CT production around the corner, a massive 4Q, more gigafactories and Elon is whipping Twitter into shape. this blip will pass.
Sorry but…genius overreach in effect with twitter acquisition. Wasn’t necessary and definitely zero sum game at the end of the day. Ego is getting in the way of intelligent’s and logic…

I am hoping many of the 160000 orders ahead of mine bow out. The naysayers for sure can be the first ones to leave. Dual motor Big battery is what I want. Tri-motor big battery is what I ordered. Been a long wait but as time goes on the technology is evolved more.

I hate to say it but I think that Elon is shooting Tesla (and SpaceX) in both feet with his recent behavior. The board is under a lot of legal pressure about the $55 billion compensation package (a shareholder revolt among some of the institutional buyers) and him seemingly trying to alienate the average Tesla buyer (green and liberal for the most part) with what he is doing on and with Twitter could alienate a lot of the Tesla customer base. He has done a lot of great things with Tesla but if he tanks sales the board could and probably should boot him. I have a CT and an electric Silverado as a backup on order, I just hope all of these distractions don't push delivery out even farther.
Is it really a shareholder revolt or is it really just one guy with 9 shares and a chip on his shoulder that the rest of the shareholders (including us small ones) would like to pillory in a public square? By the way elon had herculean tasks to accomplish to get his compensation package and he totally deserved it. Boot him? He's the driving force making all this work--at this point possibly it won't all fall apart without him but you must not actually like Tesla/Spacex if you want to boot elon.

There are macro forces pushing the price down, then elon sold 4 billion worth of shares, then there is momentum from that. It is unclear whether we are in a recession or whether we will be in one. There is a shooting war going on in Europe and one important world leader is regularly threatening nuclear war and it is becoming increasingly clear that he is going to lose outright unless he uses nuclear weapons (although I hope he won't).

I'm not onboard with Elon's political views, and I believe he just fundamentally misunderstands the role of free speech... and I wish he wouldn't tweet "ho hum" at 3am. That said he is highly likely to turn twitter into another juggernaut within 6 months or at most two years, provided he doesn't drop dead from exhaustion. And the fall of tesla shares can't really be blamed on him. Not to mention tesla is going to recognize half a billion dollars in FSD income on its next earnings statement, is going to start delivering semi trucks in a week, and is probably going to produce 30 cybertrucks for employees within the next month, which people are going to see driving around. Not to mention FSD is nearly ready for prime time. The share price is highly likely to begin to recover unless some other macro issue influences it.

Don't blame elon for everything please.

The big elephant in the room is MSRP. Everybody who reserved a truck is waiting with baited breath for the official “new” Cybertruck MSRP‘s from Tesla.

Tesla designed the truck to compete against the infamous Ford F-150. The Dual Motor was initially targeted to sell for $49,990. The price announcement occurred before C-19, inflation, chip shortages, supply chain limitations, lack of workers, etc.

Elon confirmed the Cybertruck MSRP will increase and everyone has speculated on how big the increase will be.

I think the majority of CT reservation holders agree that the popular Dual Motor MSRP will be higher than the Model Y (base is $65,990) but less than the Model S (base is $96,590).

Tesla should be announcing revised Cybertruck MSRP’s in the next 4-6 months.

Our family cat was named Zero. This is Zero, looking after my youngest son about 15 years ago.

I planned on selling 1/4 of my tesla stock and trading in my model 3 to buy a CT. I am a Canadian, so holding the tesla stock helped hedge my currency risk (CAD is 0.74 USD) and I am looking at a 13% HST tax on top of everything, and probably no gov't incentive to boot. As far as the stock goes I am at about break even so I am hoping with a good 4th quarter and 1st quarter 2023, the stock will recover to at least $300 so I can sell some. I am 34 k on the waiting list so I have got until September of 2023 for the stock to recover which hopefully will be ample time. If not I may have to scale back to the 2 motor version.

I guess we’ve always assumed that. Is there evidence to the contrary?

I’m hung up on your use of the word “still”. Are you implying something happened that should have changed our outlook in it.

For example, did you mean “Why do people still think ‘Y’ after we all know that Elon said ’Z’”?

Or did you mean it more like: “After all these years I can’t believe people still believe ‘X’”
I'm just a bill

Yeah, but if he's going to take responsibility for the rise, he can take responsibility for the dip ^-^

Especially if he's selling on the dip.

-Crissa
Plus forgot to mention they're talking about a Tesla share buyback which would also drive up the price... one more thing that might raise the price
