Dude, sounds like he in air traffic control tower. This is in n3945 clear for takeoff.

Chicago is a HUGE train depot. Those CT were probably waiting for trucks to carry them to different locations in the midwest. Tons of trucks are now busy moving cars to/from Florida as snowbirds return to the north. I've heard 1-2 month wait on vehicle delivery right now.
You are probably right but man 1-2 month wait? 😬
@@Butter_EV I assume Tesla has contracts in place to secure some % of shipping but with trucking usually some are 'float' and are more dynamic in pricing and availability. Pretty sure they'll make it to buyers but won't be surprised if it will take a week or two to empty that lot.
2 month wait?? Why bother, it will be time to ship it back by the time you get it.
There are 148 CyberToys for sale on Auto Trader. The lowest price is $119K. There was one that sold for $13K on Ebay. Obviously these owners are not satisfied with their purchase. Tesla obviously isn't suing these owners or they wouldn't try to sell them. How long will Tesla stay in business?
Dude, they are an AI company. They don't need or care to sell cars any more. TSLA to the moon!
@@glennda5id how much stock did you buy if that's the case?
@@glennda5id 90% of Tesla sales come from vehicle sales. Trying hard to make a vehicle company look like its not a vehicle company looks more and more like fraud.

SuperCharger - aparently, according to one of the contractors, SC HQ team cost to deploy was 2x higher and 2x slower than doing it with a contractor/partner. It took them over 12 months to deploy destination chargers (WTF?!). It appears Elon saw the numbers and performance and decided they need a clean slate. Ditch the old team, rehire to top performers and rebuild a small agile team, work with partners, save money and open up to working with partners that would split the costs. At this point there is no reason for Tesla to cover the capital expenditure for the ENTIRE US EV fleet. Others should pay some of these costs (I'm looking at legacy, large outlets, etc). It benefits them, they should cover some of the cost. Also, looks like BP has already started deploying Tesla SC under their own brand in the UK and is looking to do the same in the US.
Can you somehow give this information to the Batteries Included guys and out of spec? I think Kyle especially would love to see this. It would also help everyone to understand what happened better
I didn’t know this but it makes a lot of sense
Front into side impact both cars totaled
😬
Cyber kids who don't understand the value of money.
👀
So much for the "indestructible" Cybertruck. Will be fun laughing at all the stans who claimed the panels won't dent. In reality, it looks worse than what a typical pickup would have suffered.
😂
???
When can you start using a gooseneck trailer with the Cyiber truck I feel that that is what is required at least the Chevy and Ford electric trucks, could have that option added easier because of their style of tuck for use with a gooseneck trailers if they want to.
I feel that the Cyiber trucks could also add that option if they want to it would improve the farmer's ability to utilize all of the trailers that they already have on the farm.
When is Elon going to accommodate the farmers and ranchers with their needs and requirements of their professions and needs?
I feel that Elon is missing out on or does not even care about or are they only purchasing the semi-truck for the gooseneck trailers that they have now?
Sincerely!
R.S.V.
From what I understand you cannot use a gooseneck on a unibody
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
🙏🏼
Well if you signed the purchase agreement that clearly states you will pay, well in a court of law your fkd. Do i agree with it hell no.
👀
@@Butter_EV 👁👁
That CT is a writeoff.
💯
So glad I bought my Ford F150 Lightning. I bought it when I learned that what Elon promised and how different than what he delivered.
I like the lightning and am glad you are enjoying it!
My tesla drives me from home to work wtf FSD are you using sir
🤷🏻♂️
Of course crazy fanboys doing typical stuff.
🤷🏻♂️
Question for the crew: do you think Elon will end up in prison for securities fraud or for killing people with his claims about autonomous driving? And what do you think of Elon asking for a $50 billion dollar bonus for selling 5 million vehicles (i.e. he wants 10 k for every vehicle sold)?
Thank you for the comment and questions. I shared them with the guys and we will feature your comment on our next episode so hopefully you can tune in live on Wednesday 5/22
Tesla is making 1000 a week CT, there are 2 million on back order, at this rate it'll take Tesla 26 years to get everyone the truck they ordered. There is only 52 weeks in a year. Now when Tesla recalled all of those CT, It was like 3800 of them, that was in a 20 week span. The CT will be discontinued before majority of the ppl get theirs. I realize they say they can do way more, they aren't though. How long are you willing to wait, Vehicle Virgins was waiting for 4 years. Then on top of that, when you get rid of the whole supercharger team, the knowledge is somewhat lost, where is he gonna get these so called professionals that know how to build superchargers? You don't come out of intern just knowing all that. As far as FSD its been promised since 2017, the company is under DOJ investigation for wire fraud and FSD. Everything I just said here is fact.
As of November 28, 2023, there are around 200 Tesla Cybertrucks on the road in the United States. The first Cybertrucks were delivered to customers in late November 2023. As of February 2024, Tesla is manufacturing around 80 Cybertrucks per day. On Top of Google, they aren't making them fast enough, nor are they gonna.
As of December 2023, Tesla has a backorder of nearly 2 million Cybertrucks. The first Cybertrucks were delivered in November 2023, two years behind schedule. New orders are scheduled for 2027.
Come on somebody, do the actual math, not some made up fairy tail.
Tesla is outsourcing their supercharger builds hence why they fired everyone. FSD is making progress but who knows if it’ll ever actually get fully deployed. Only time will tell
@@allseen974Nearly 2m people that are going to ask for their $100 back.
want to sell? well if Elon runs Tesla into the ground like he has done to twitter dont expect to get much for your used vehicle.
Not planning on selling, ever
You guys are panicking for no reason! Stop reading news articles. Do your resaerch, invest in Tesla.
Pumper says what? Do your research. Musk promised he wouldn't take money out of Tesla and took 44 billion. Now he wants another 56 billion. Bankruptcy looms.
👀
Uh, ok gaslighter.
