The semi will happen. The cybertruck will work but it’s goddamn ugly and the trunk is small and useless. The roadster always seemed too good to be true, it’s not going to happen. A 600 miles per charge is a rubicon and we’re not there yet.
- dkrich 3y agoThings are only going to get more difficult for them as money gets tighter. Auto manufacturing is a notoriously capital intensive business and running factories with lots of employees is very expensive. You have to make enough money to keep the factories open and the workers employed. I think very soon the new realities of the post zirp world are going to catch up. Even if this monstrosity was released on time and people actually wanted them (a big if) I still think they would struggle mightily to move them after the early adopters for the simple fact that these are very expensive vehicles. Which brings me to the most incredible point in all this- they are claiming sales when people don’t even know what it costs!

The EQXX concept from Mercedes has managed >620 miles in two separate real-world tests, though admittedly it probably benefits from ideal conditions and doesn't have to deal with the challenges of being produced at scale.
