Cybertruck: Musk "better than what we showed."

[Yosemite_Sam1]

That's why I love Tesla. It's in constant improvement and innovation -- and they install it on their units even if already sold.

Lol. I think you may be a bit out of touch. Falcon has been successfully landed and refused 76 times. Here’s the first one a couple years back.

Are you possibly referring to the starship prototype tests?

Don’t worry. You are not the only doubter. Boeing is full of old engineers who told Elon that it couldn’t be gone. Lol.

Here is the last one...yesterday. It’s pretty much a biweekly event.

Course they must have been on crack to think they could land a rocket on a barge.

Wait,,,

Yes, I was referring to yesterday's explosion, somewhat satirically. Historically, rocket launches have a hideously high catastrophic failure rate, and it will likely be SpaceX that will make that failure rate drop to a reasonable level. I know that SpaceX is almost literally light years ahead of other companies in making space travel a commercially viable idea. I personally don't think space travel is really a practical thing, but the incredible technologies that are developed in the process of exploring space make our own world better.

Yah that Elon. What a guy. The same idiot who said they’ll be able to land and reuse rockets some day.

Wait.....,

The folks who can afford it with hybrid grid tied systems were fortunate.

Well I just checked and the power outage map website thingy says 629. Do you really think that’s from the storm almost a month ago?
Cmon man...

I agree even "free market" prices should be capped at 2x or 3x the past 90 day average rates.
Careful what you wish for.

Most in TX have fixed rate contracted electricity.

What are those reports of household billings of $17,000 for just a month?

Those that rolled the dice with wholesale variable rate contracts.

There should have been a provision in the contract that the customer has to be notified when charges exceed a certain amount and has to agree to continued service at those rates.

Don't you think after suffering from the freeze without power and seeing their electric bills like adding insult to injury, they just decided to be cut off from the grid?:E

I own TSLA and I'm sticking with it.

And I have stock in GM, GE and Colgate, doesnt make me a fanboy of any of them. Tesla likely has a great grocery getter for the city folks who want to pat themselves on the back about how great they are. Much like the Hollywood types who brag about the Prius cars, that their maids use to buy their groceries for them.
Whether or not they are worth anything in the real world is still under evaluation.

:B :B

Someone Lost $ shortin Tesla yes

So there are still a few who have not lost their shirts yet.:E

Kind of like...any other concept car (which all the automakers do)...there's always updates and changes from the concept car you see at the auto show and what you see for sale at the dealer.

Look at the recent Ford Bronco introduction. Some of the early concepts and ideas changed as they moved from pre-marketing to actual production.
