I still don't get why they prioritised the cybertruck Vs the semi... Makes no sense at all. Markets are way different in size, I guess margins too. A shame real

    There's a bunch of douches who will buy the cyber truck no matter how bad it is. But semi customers require something fit for purpose.

      It’s a mobile idol to Musk. When the Pharoah commands you to build his pyramid, you obey the Pharoah.

      Don't believe everything you read on the internet, especially the places pushing an agenda. As a self-described non-douche (at least, I don't go around judging people simply for buying a particular model of car), the CT is actually quite a good vehicle. I've had mine for a few months now and really like it. Granted I don't use it much for "truck" stuff but it has been a fantastic family car and the attention it gets is incredible.

  Low volume halo products make good testbeds. Stainless steel, 48V, etherloop, steer-by-wire. Better to "learn things" on fat margins and low volume than to jump the gun on Model 2 and Robotaxi and "learn things" on thin margins and high volume.

    > Low volume halo products make good testbeds Keep in mind that "low volume" product is already the best selling EV pickup in the US... https://qz.com/tesla-cybertruck-ford-f150-lightning-electric-trucks-1851596485 https://qz.com/tesla-cybertruck-ford-f150-lightning-electric...

  Maybe because the Semi is not a viable product at all ? This is a truck, that is 7 years after unveil and they still did not communicate the most important metrics for a truck, about it's weight and hauling capacity.
