Should have just named it “Mechanical Turk” and been done with it. 

“Tesla Cybercab Will Be Remote Controlled Until FSD Improves”

First gear: so, do I have this right? A presumably huge room full of low-paid staffers/remote drivers that are expected to pay super-close attention to everything going on around a car by watching screens and listening for warming beeps? Notwithstanding the possibility that they’re going to be chatting with the…

I wouldn’t drive one if you gave it to me for free.

How much stock you holdin’?

I don’t think you understand how depreciation works. It’s a nice effort, I’ll give you that. But when a vehicle was originally sold for an amount and then sells again for a different amount, those are the numbers that matter. Do you think you’ll be able to sell that brand new $80k CT for $75k next year? Lol go ahead…

Asking price does not equal selling price. And a $15,000 discount for 50 miles isn't what I'd call "holding value" either.

Pretty sure he already has. Hasn’t his wealth gone up at least tens of billions since election day?

All that’s a feature not a bug.

“As far as electric vehicles go, we still see that as the future long term, and you can see the trend globally,” Jacobson said. “Many of the customers that are new to General Motors are coming in through the EV channel. That’s in a nurturing stage. We’ve got to get it to profitability, but that doesn’t change if the…

If you were in the business, you know just as well as I do that a 121% LTV higher than a giraffe’s ass, but they’ll absolutely get it done.

This will change in about 6 weeks, when suddenly the US Gov’t will mandate Cybertrucks for the US Postal fleet, the USGS fleet, NOAA, EPA, and probably another two dozen agencies. Hand feeds the mouth(piece) of the Admin, and boy is it going to be corrupt as all hell.

Its all three. He’s lying AND he doesnt know how loans work AND he doesnt care.

I’m just an numptie that cant spell “MBA”, but it appears the biz plan was during COVID, raise prices per 6th grade-esque supply/demand curve principles. Then after COVID, KEEP those prices despite very new, very different supply/demand curve slopes, then stand agog whilst sales drop off a cliff.

But they’re not in trouble financially.

Not all of them have. Hyundai/Kia have been working their asses off on EVs. I assume they are number 2 next to Tesla and growing. Chevy has also been working at it with the Equinox and Blazer being great EV options.

The employee in charge of that also bailed out early that day.

Not YET!

The most surprising part about all of this is that Hertz didn’t try to immediately arrest all of the customers.

1st - Not shocked. This is likely going to push back mass adoption rates 5-10 years, which is part of the agenda for the administration in the first place. Meanwhile, China will continue to push forward and we will get lapped for the 2nd time in this area. The EV credit being gone is also going to delay public…
