Tesla reported mixed second-quarter earnings after the bell on Tuesday, fresh from off-the-charts sales numbers and a stock run-up. Chief Executive Elon Musk doubled down on self-driving promises, but the lack of specifics around autonomy goals seemed to spook investors.
It’s interesting seeing the R1S and EV9 on one end and Bolts and Leafs on the other and imagining how else Tesla could have spent that Cybertruck time and money…
I think the cybertruck was supposed to be a test platform but then they got too into it. I think they will discontinue it at some point
It’s Elons pet project. No way they discontinue it as long as he’s CEO. He’ll never admit it was a terrible idea.
A Test for what? elon paraded it on stage specifically touting it as the next greatest thing. He tweeted about it for almost two years before that reveal sham. And then took another five years to produce their worst vehicle ever, after starting the factory three years after vehicle production was supposed to begin.
I can’t imagine what they were testing, and I can’t imagine Elon’s ego allowing them to stop making that dumpster.
The 4680 cells, for one thing.
You mean the cell they “tested” in the Y and nobody wanted? Why would the need the cluster truck for that?
