I picture Cybercabs running around picking up and dropping off people.

I see Semis running between cities delivering long-haul freight.

And I always imagined Cybertrucks doing everything else.

Cybertruck was the multi-mission utility platform that Cybercab, Robovan and Robotaxi could not be.

It also had the potential to act as an important piece of the energy puzzle.

It would carry folks in rural areas, manage dirt/gravel/snowy/rough roads.

It would haul up to 5 people at a time

It would transport 5+ Optimus robots plus their tools, consumables, batteries and equipment to job sites at a time… and even power the work if needed.

It would transport medical equipment, refrigerated medical and food needs.

It had room in the back for business tools, equipment and short haul cargo/supplies.

It would run welders, compressors, saws and other job-site tools.

It would power food trucks and events without noise or pollution.

It would provide energy storage for emergency backup.

It was the Swiss Army knife of the fleet.

It covered the messy, local, hybrid cargo/people/robots missions and business needs that pure people movers fall short of doing.

Boy oh boy, Cybertruck would have been a perfect pairing combo with Optimus!

And, of course, Cybertruck already has also been everything passionately conveyed by the community… personal enjoyment, freedom and independent movement.

Elon must have a better plan. He has always had a keen understanding of how best to proceed. I remain optimistic for Tesla’s mission.

This is how I've grown to know Tesla. A company with a fun, irrational side. The vehicle farts for zeus's sake.

[Electric CyberFarmer (soon) 😳 @rhensing]

@elonmusk brother we love you but don’t be a thief of joy. Think about how much enjoyment Cybertruck brings. There’s no need to sacrifice it at the altar of Cybercab. There is time and room for both products to coexist in the near term. Imagine the backlash if Mazda canceled the Miata. It’s not a hugely high-volume car for them but it’s a halo car that many associate with Mazda and has a hardcore enthusiast following. This is why Mazda doesn’t dare cancel it. 🙏🤘💪

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

And conversely, name one SpaceX ad you've seen. Difference? Yep.

Organizations do things based on their leadership (Inverse Conway Maneuver)

Robotaxi can scale because engineers are tackling the problem from an engineering perspective, solving the problems that arise.

Could you imagine the same level of effort dedicated to growing Cybertruck sales through marketing - yet that's not been a Telsa strength - yet at SpaceX it had to be to break into an incumbent market.

X, S, 3, Y.. they're apparent. They're cars, they look the same act the same. They sell themselves. Cybertruck is a different animal all together. It needs to be grown, nurtured. People need convincing.

@MyTeslaMoonship Hey Martha. Thank you!

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

A bunch of new followers over the past few weeks so I might as well say hi to all the new folks 👋

Fair warning: you just followed a lot of Cybertruck, AI, Tesla, SpaceX and FSD rambling. I'm a techie at heart with 25+ years in software (I'm mostly lite-FIREd now) so you'll get a lot of reposts of whatever the latest AI can do this week and the occasional incoherent irrational rant.

If that's not your vibe, that's cool. I'm just here to share things I think are pretty ok.

I'm married to my lovely wife Morgan, no kids, but we keep scottish terriers. Current furballs are one named Buccaneer (we call him Bucky) - who's my copilot on the road - and Pepper who watches over her momma when I'm away.

I supervise a 2024 Foundation AWD at 53k+ miles, 25k+ on FSD, and there's no other truck I'd rather have.

Kinda keep it light and share my adventures out experiencing nature and tap into my creative side from time to time ... which is probably how you got here.

Anyway, glad you're here. I've had the honor to meet a few of you on the road and hope to meet the rest.

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@elonmusk Tesla has to be like a mullet. Business in the front (cab, etc) but party in the back (Cybertruck, Roadster, etc)

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@jeremyjudkins_ Does this mean you're going girl tipping?

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@notoriusbign @gecko_mode @mrfundman @elonmusk So the CEO's lying? https://t.co/VlWWTaoysj

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.

This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@DaveMattson @Tryangle @cybertruck @dillont That dude gets around. I imagine he's somewhere between N. Cali and S. Texas right about now.

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@Tryangle OG📐 @ogre_codes and the PNW folks (@DaveMattson , @kchau and a ton more) need a shoutout

[Doug 📐 @Tryangle]

When you lose your truck what else is there to do…

but write a country song

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

In order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027

@ContinentaI0p @jnnfir @Starlink "I'm so remorseful about my Cybertruck that I'm buying another one."

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@wholemars When we first met...

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@Tesla_Analyst I guess I'm not seeing bulls fear Autonomy/FSD in itself. The fear stems from another source.

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@jasondainter Unpopular opinion: Suno 6's vocals a ubiquitous crunchiness to them that Suno 5 and other current models (some open) don't have. Sometimes you can get away with it (this certainly did)

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@Tesla_Analyst Yet you're baiting the false equivalency in your post.

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@Chesschick01 I wonder why WeWork failed.🤔

[Sean McLellan @Oceanswave]

@EquinoxRoadTrip That's @Cybertruck0001 !
