    Back in 2015, Elon touted “Full Self Driving” and told investors it would be “soon” 😆😂🤣🤡

    Cathie Wood gave her extreme Tesla valuation back in 2020 based on “robotaxis” which would be coming “soon”.

    It’s all hot air and nothing burgers 🍔

    The models are all static and the CyberRust is a piece of shit.

      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.

    Catalysts? lol There’s no “catalysts” coming. The dog and pony show is slowing down because his potential market is saturated. ClusterTruck is the perfect demonstration of what Tesla is today- The same shoddy quality and slapdash assembly they’ve had since the first roadster in 2008 was “delivered”.

    The next “robotaxi day” will be the 4th one of these boondoggles they’ve held to try to fleece the rubes once again. 😆 It’s impressive he’s still got people believing his bullshit, I’ll say that for sure. There really is a sucker born every day.
