You don't need a production line if you never build the car. This will remain vaporware for the foreseeable future.

- xeromal 3y agoYup. The Model S was vaporware and the 3 was definitely vaporware and the cybertruck was definitely vaporware. >In the computer industry, vaporware (or vapourware) is a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is late, never actually manufactured, or officially cancelled. Vaporware means it never comes. People need to find a new thing to shit on besides tesla not delivering cars. Make fun of Elon's hair plugs or something realistic at least
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoVaporware means it is substantially overdue, has not arrived yet, and shows no sign of imminent arrival. "Never" is a big word.
- xeromal 3y agoEvery single one of Tesla's cars has been called vaporware and they always deliver. At this point it's a dead horse.
- jrflowers 3y agoI love it when my bulletproof cybertruck uses its full self driving ability to act as a robotaxi that earns me passive income while I sleep before I wake and temporarily use it as a boat to reach the mainland hyperloop entrance

- dghlsakjg 3y agoDon't forget that the value of a used Tesla has gone up as much as 5x from purchase price! https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/03/cars/musk-tesla-cars-value-ev-prices/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/03/cars/musk-tesla-cars-value-ev...
- jrflowers 3y agoYes! I was overjoyed when they delivered The Car That Doesn’t Depreciate But Actually Appreciates With Time Instead

- janalsncm 3y agoIf Tesla comes out with a fully autonomous car in 2035 does that mean the “Full Self Driving” add-on for cars in 2025 isn’t vaporware?
- Terr_ 3y agoOr that the the "quite likely" for 2022 isn't vaporware, or that the "extremely confident" for 2021 isn't vaporware, or that the "million robotaxis" for 2020 aren't vaporware, ad nauseam. Looking at the broader discussion, I suspect there's some confusion between " it won't be a vaporware promise if someone makes it today" versus "past vaporware promises have been retroactively fulfilled."
- pengaru 3y ago> Every single one of Tesla's cars has been over-promised and they always under-deliver. At this point it's a dead horse. FTFY
- adolph 3y agoI wasn't going to agree, but I think your interpretation is correct: vaporware | ˈvāpərˌwer | (vapourware British English) noun Computing informal software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed.
- croes 3y agoMaybe more like the Magic Leap, it exists but isn't what was promised.
- Texasian 3y agoFull Self Driving is vaporware. The “cross country with no interventions” drive is vaporware.
- slaw 3y agoWhere is $40k CyberTrack and 500 miles range? It never came.
- xeromal 3y agoI don't remember a CyberTrack being announced.
- slaw 3y ago$39,900 is close enough. https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-pricing-start-39995/ https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-pricing-sta...
- someguydave 3y agoYep and now GM will eat Tesla’s lunch with the EV Silverado which is far more practical
- mattmaroon 3y agoHis hair plugs are actually really good. Whoever did that one would put them in his before and after catalogue even if Elon wasn’t famous.
- jeltz 3y agoBy that definition Duke Nukem Forever was not vaporware.
- Sargos 3y agoDuke Nukem Forever isn't vaporware though. I guess both of us are old and remember when it was the posterchild for vaporware for decades but it was released and now nobody refers to it as vaporware.
- FireBeyond 3y ago> cybertruck was definitely vaporware. The $35K CyberTruck will not ever make it to market, and I'd wager money on it.
