Tesla Van unveil at Cybertruck delivery event?

[newwave1331]

LOL. This Stock isn't going anywhere. Especially after all the dumpster fire schit that he says.

Mr. Musk is alienating a lot of potential buyers and current owners from the Tesla brand with his most recent Tweets. He must be driving the board of directors crazy right now.

X is facing some some serious boycotting right now from major advertisers. This is a developing story that is bound to pickup steam.

the good news is, X was already short of major advertisers?

It's not really a boycott, so much as a 'your boss made my ad appear next to eliminationist rhetoric, and that's not great for selling stuff.'

I am pretty sure Media Matters had some kind of setup or ax to grind… otherwise Elon would not have said he was suing them…
Now, I think he should not have announced the lawsuit, I think I would have just sprung it on them, not give them the weekend to prep… or spin control.

How did an old cybervan thread spark this topic?

EM's free speech on X is a subject that should be discussed elsewhere, like on X or the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Not sure why Ford would make the electric van and give it a small battery pack.
When I looked at them 3 years ago, the range was like 115 Miles. Sure I can go for a week, but most people would want a comparable battery like the lightning truck.

A van is what I use for the past 40 years for plumbing.

Thank you for your on topic response lol.

My guess is that Ford's target market was commercial applications that don't require a long range and a smaller battery would allow for greater cargo capacity and affordability. They also knew they couldn't do it on a large scale yet.

I think a van/shuttle concept fits into Tesla long term goals but who knows when or if they would announce it. Maybe they end up focusing on software and components for other manufactures that know those commercial customers better like Ford. I'd love to see a partnership between Ford and Tesla on a product like this.

I know that the commercial roles we (company I now work for) sell & operate eTransit for usually do around 100-150 miles a day, with time to charge during some break or etc being common.

hey, I was mocking!

meanwhile, case in point:

across-the-street neighbor is a woodworker and cabinet builder. He’s got the Ford Van, and thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread

he uses it for his around-town commercial work, can fit tons of cabinetry weather-protected, and fits every bill


sometimes feels like the the people who are most prone to being BEV critical are also the ones who drive unnaturally far?

I was just trying to silence people's opinion I didn't like. How did you all like it? lol

Commercial tradesmen is going to be a tough market to crack for Tesla.

Did he ask you about the UFO in the street the other night? Obviously not a good fit for his business but if he lives in Texas, I assume his other vehicle is a pickup.

you mean you were forum-posting? Seems right

you kidding me?! Middle America gonna flock to this like lemmings!!! Soon as they hear about the fart noises you can make?! And that 3mm stainless will simultaneously keep pristine the aesthetics they never cared about?! C’mon!

It’s his only vehicle! His wife has a Buick sedan if they really need to cruise!

admission: not a single person who drove by either noticed or gave two sh*ts!

turns out, most of the world couldn’t care less about how someone gets from A to B

my feelings were hurt!

Are we going to see the unveil of the Tesla Van (built off the cybertruck platform) at the Cybertruck delivery event?

I think they’re having enough trouble producing CTs as it is. Announcing another new vehicle would just increase production pressure.

They don't fart in flyover country? I thought that was a good universal feature.

One of my first jobs out of college was as a estimator and project manager for industrial construction. My mechanics and welders would have loved the fart feature. They would have probably had a competition to see who could record the best fart without shitting themselves.

Sounds like your neighbors are boring. That's why your post so much on the forum.

Lol...if only Elon would figure out he could run Starship on methane cow farts, the circle of humour would be complete.

Would be the biggest lit fart torch in the sky.

Fully renewable at least...

Maybe you're just kidding, but it's conjecture like this that leads to people being disappointed when it doesn't come true. The launch will be the launch, just enjoy that.

 

[jerhenderson]

the CT delivery has nothing to do with a van, so NO.

that's like expecting CT updates at a quarterly inancial report update.
