It's already been three years and Elon has been kicking the can down the road every month. I doubt that the cybertruck is going to be mass produced in any real quantity except for photo ops and 'It's right around the corner guys!' type posturing.

So was this rocket supposed to look like this from the beginning or did these people got swindled

The ones building the rocket are the swindlers, they are running a ponzi cryptocurrency for stupid rubes. They are selling the narrative that "after we deliver this big ugly goat statue to elon musk, goatcoin will get tons of publicity and the price will go up uP UP!!! buy goatcoins now so you can 10x your money before it's too late!"

Now on first hearing this you might think "that's insanely stupid, nobody would be dumb enough to fall for that, you must be explaining it wrong".

But it was seriously the tackiest loving thing. What does that add to the car? Everything is designed to trick nerds into thinking they'll spend their time having a bunch of "and then everyone stood up and clapped" moments because of their cool car.

I would never own a Model X because of those silly-rear end "falcon wing" rear doors. Sure, they're probably cool the first few times you show them off to friends. But eventually they're just going to fade into the background of life, until they inevitably loving break. Then they're going to ruin your entire day, if not your week or month because you have to take your car in to get the doors fixed, and Tesla service centers sound like they might be backed up worse than Elon himself after his final assault on what remains of the Twitter commissary. All because a standard-rear end sliding door wasn't cool enough.

The guy has some sort of weird sublimated complex about John DeLorean, too. The ripoff gullwing doors on the SUV, building the goofy cyber truck entirely out of stainless steel... it must be part of convincing himself he can't fail the way DeLorean did. Unlike DeLorean, we can only infer his likely stimulant habits, there's no hard public evidence. I wonder if there are less scrupulous federal agents looking back to the '80s and trying to pitch their bosses on an entrapment plot right now.

The forced bag checks were not working as we found some of you were sneaking in food and pee bottles in your pockets, so there will now be mandatory pat downs at the security checkpoint.

You may get food and water at your designated times. There is no need to pay at the time. Food costs will automatically be removed from your pay.

The PMC guards are allowed to use all compliance measures needed. Do not mess around with this. Code now.

I didn't watch this video so I'm not sure what the spin is but someone posted the very long one (like an hour) from the it's always sunny podcast earlier in here I think. Glenn Howerton was unable to access his car for like a week or more because it was in a parking garage with no cell phone signal.

If you watched it you would have heard how he was trapped inside the car for over a week, almost died of thirst but he was smart and kept redrinking he’s pee and eating his poop for snacks

Tesla fanboys are quick with the "that's not how Tesla's operate" because it's too difficult to understand what "malfunction" means.

Those tweets with Elon arguing with his own employees make me so mad because I know that’s exactly how he treats everyone at his companies. He knows better than anyone.

And there are so many managers who think that’s how you run a business - ignoring every expert
There's the grain of truth that a lot of leadership does involve having to show that you're the baboon with the bright red rear end, but when that's what you're constantly doing it's a sign that you don't actually have a vision or any particularly unique skillset, and you're terrified of what will happen if you do slow down and allow anyone else to put their hand on the wheel.

We can put it in the form of a syllogism

The vehicle failed to stop when the brake was depressed

Teslas stop when the break is depressed

Therefore, he was not driving a Tesla
