@TwoWeeksLOL I think it's humiliating he would rather have people believe he can't produce them vs. just saying they aren't profitable enough to build. I'd rather be known as greedy than incompetent.
@elonmusk I would be embarrassed if I ran a car company and told the world I can't produce <100k vehicles in 9 months on a line that's had 2+years to perfect the process. Why would anyone invest in such a defeatist attitude?
@mrfundman They might be using higher profits from new orders to offset lower margins on $59k trucks. So the more they sell today, the more cheaper ones they can also produce.
@jmwilt21 The writing is on the wall. S/X cancelled after 12 years of no new sheet metal. 3/Y will be 10 years old next year without new sheet metal. They are getting out of the retail car business, maybe sooner than we think.
@Kirill_Gubernov@JeffTutorials What you quoted discusses current rates of orders and production, it does not negate the fact that he already said they cannot produce enough to cover the backlog. There will be unfilled orders, presumably the orders at the lowest price/profit.
@Kirill_Gubernov@JeffTutorials "The Tesla Cybertruck order backlog is currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year."

@McFranchisee I'm usually with you, @McFranchisee, but I think a $7 or even $9 Luxe box from Taco Bell is a far better value than an $8 burger or $5 muffin.
@cybrtrkguy C'mon, man, the market won. Elon f'd up and chose a product that didn't succeed in the biggest/most competitive segment of the market. He's not the first and won't be the last, just cost the company billions in lost time/opportunity.
@JoeTalkShow@GovHotWheels_TX Half the population is below average intelligence. That's not an opinion, it's a mathematical fact. If they don't like the way things are going, they vote for change. This has been political reality for 200+ years, not a conspiracy.
@elonmusk Why don't people realize the hope he expressed in the 2nd sentence does not negate the fact he stated 1st sentence? You probably won't get your CT for $59k.
@ru23052 People don't run for president exclusively because they think they can win. They also run to get attention, highlight issues they care about, AND it's an awesome grift to take gullible people's money for first class travel around the country.
@econoadabsurdam Don't fall for this propaganda, South Africa is really like Wakanda. They post pics and vids of civilization collapse to keep Europeans from stealing their advanced technologies.
