NashvilleNinja Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 22 hours ago, Yoshimitsu said: It's definitely a design as created by Hollywood art teams from 80's movies. I imagine he saw the trend of 80's/90's becoming popular again and based the truck from that. I don't hate it...I think the bed could use some work. You will in a few years. This design is like one of those bad boy band hair cuts from the lste 90s, like Timberlake's Top Ramen cut. It's just not a good look at all and Elon Musk himself will look back on it in 5 to 10 years and smack himself hard in the face. "Wtf was I thinking!?"

Starkiller Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/10/tesla-is-searching-central-u-s-for-a-cybertruck-gigafactory-site/amp/ Tesla is in talks with Nashville officials to locate a factory there that will produce its all-electric Cybertruck and Model Y crossover, according to a source familiar with the discussions. Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Tuesday evening that the company is “scouting” locations to build a new U.S. gigafactory that will produce the Cybertruckand Model Y crossover. “Scouting locations for Cybertruck Gigafactory. Will be central USA,” Musk tweeted Tuesday. He added that the factory would be used to produce Model Y crossovers for the East Coast market. The first Model Y vehicles are being produced at its plant in Fremont, Calif. Musk didn’t provide further information in the tweets. However, a source with knowledge of the talks said Nashville is on a short list of contenders. Tennessee is already shaping up to be a hub of electric vehicle production. Volkswagen is spending $800 million to expand its U.S. factory in Chattanooga, Tenn. and turn it into the company’s North American base for manufacturing electric vehicles. Electric vehicle production at the Tennessee site will begin in 2022, VW said at the time. Meanwhile, Nissan has been producing the Nissan Leaf in Smyrna since 2013.

Strunk'sDessert Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Gotta admit that I put the $100 down for this when it came out due to 20% curiosity and 80% hope that some sucker would but it off at a 20% premium. Rethinking that $100 now. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemEngr79 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) This is a good example of the downside risks of not listening to subject matter experts. Elon is good at disruption, which has pros/cons. It can generate breakthroughs, but it can also lead to epic faceplants as the Cybertruck appears to be from a manufacturability and meeting customer expectation perspective. Personally, I think it looks like a rejected vehicle concept from a crossover between Robocop and Demolition Man...

On 11/22/2019 at 7:13 PM, Jamalisms said: The Tesla cars are attractive. They're aesthetic. This just pisses me off. I've had Elon pegged for awhile but I'm still happy to see my initial reactions to Cybertruck were appropriately negative. Btw, @OILERMANthe stock went up after that earnings report. Elon said he'd focus on Tesla more, so the price went up despite the worst earnings report you could imagine. That stock is all hype, no substance. Even despite all the coverage and people keep talking about how much it's lost year to date, the stock is up year over year. And if you think Tesla is more valuable as a company today than you did a year ago, you deserve to lose all your money. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted April 25, 2025 Report Share Posted April 25, 2025 I think it’s less that the stock is valuable, more that buyers are paying Elon. I’m still not gonna be holding Tesla or Ark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
