Imagine what Elon could accomplish if he wasn't so toxic and divisive.

Top Gear review. The Design & Engineering part is really interesting (from 8 min to 15 min). Engineering this is a whole new level of complexity- it is mind boggling.

Would me feeling that way keep me from buying a Tesla? No.
Exactly....

Sarcasm doesn't always translate on the internet, Elon is arguably the most successful businessman in history.
Some you get right some you don't. Keep in mind inflation since 2019 is at least 25%.

The early adopters are going to basically fund the lower cost Cyber Trucks, which is not unusual. I remember long lines of people paying $600 for the first iPhone when carriers were essentially giving away free phones, company execs and engineers paying $120K for a Model S or X, and many friends, co workers and acquaintances with their smartphones putting down $1000 deposits on the Model 3 when it was announced.
The other thing to note is, $39K 4 years ago is not the same as $39K today, so the pricing is about right

Back to Cybertruck what makes me bullish as an investor is most of the spending for Cybertruck is already baked in.

my lc500 is seeming cheaper by the day.
i predict ford will have a fire sale on lightnings, dropping the price 25k or so to move 'em on through.
do you plan to still use that reservation?
i believe he would accomplish much less. remember, steve jobs was a total jerk, even disowning his own daughter.
triggered much? i think that's a ludicrous opinion.
ha thanks!

Subject to test driving etc, absolutely. Remains to be seen when I might get an invitation to convert to an order, but I have no plans to cancel. Having already experienced one excellent EV truck makes me even more interested in this one, not less.

Adjusting for inflation it should be
48k
60k
84k.
No where close to actual prices vs inflation adjusted prices from 4 years ago.

We've truly come full circle. Went from Tesla will never made money to they are selling their cars too cheap and now, Cybertruck costs too much.

That said, I'm not a potential Cyber Truck buyer, so for me, I don't really care, except putting on my investor hat, I'm hoping the pricing they set attracts buyers and those who reserved the truck
