You don't need to break windows if you have a walk out front. Pictured below is the Tesla Halfsey.
Plugged in and charging.

Where is the cyber truck from two years ago?
I thought the giga factory and press was the answer to low cost?
I’ve seen Elons brand of stock pumping PT Barnum before. Make a new and bigger claim before the previous one fails completely.
I saw YouTube video this morning of a new turbo charged 4 cylinder engine that Mercedes just came out with. It produced over 400 horse power and weighed about 500 pounds.
Not only does the Tesla competition not grasp the enormity of the disruption in process but the same is true of the posters on this thread.
The fantastic minds on the stage at the Tesla investor meeting laid out what Tesla is accomplishing in extreme detail. That group of minds is absolutely unequaled by any other auto company except possibly Toyota.
The video I saw yesterday said the cyber truck would be produced when the Italian company can make a casting machine to produce the entire frame all in one piece.
Well, you know it would likely be a decent ICE vehicle!
Now that is an interesting bit of new news.
I wonder if it is true since the cyber truck is stainless steel
In the presentation, one engineer spoke of labor density. That is arranging the work space so the number of robots working simultaneously can be maximized. The concept is revolutionary disruptive and is the reason Tesla will destroy GM and Ford and VW
We can agree, to disagree.
Oh, OK. Is this the semi or the one with the unbreakable windows?
demonKKKrats will lose control, especially after they find the EVs destroy the grid, and we’re all back into the 1800s. They can “legislate” the end of ICE all they want, yet that won’t make it so, unless battery and grid technology, plus beyond-massive infrastructure changes, change.
“Car makers are not going to make cars they can only sell in half of the states.”
Won’t that apply to EVs, too?
Our electric bill here in So Central NY is already out of sight compared to other areas. A big NO.
Part of me wants to pick up a well used (and hopefully cheap by then) model S in a few years once the batteries are worn and swap in a more traditional powertrain, preferably with a M/T.

The ugly one with the “unbreakable” windows.
The one piece casting is the key to speeding up the manufacturing process. That is how they pump out a Model Y every 30 seconds.
When they wanted to build the first factory in Fremont, CA they asked about 5 different companies to make a casting machine big enough to make the frame all one piece. All but one said they could not do it. The machine in Fremont is in the parking lot of the former Chevy & Toyota plant. It was too big to fit inside.
The one for the cyber truck needs to be even bigger.
“Then, they’ll start taxing gas up the wazoo, and impose higher insurance premiums on ICE cars.”
One of my wife’s nephews is an age 50 something genius re automobile maintenance and reliability..His wife is a business grad (CPA) and they agree with your input above.
In California, your input above is already here, re gas prices, taxes and insurance.
Higher insurances for even good drivers with excellent driving records are here.
My wife and I went to one vehicle, her 12 year old Lexus~ICE with a little over 50K miles, last year. We don’t need 2 vehicles.
Those relatives recommend to continue to drive and service her Lexus until serious problems develop.
He is now recommending a hybrid for people like us re driving a couple hundred miles per month, if and when we replace her Lexus.
That’s the whole idea, if you can buy an EV, you can’t charge it because the grid won’t support it.
If you build it they will come
Had you watched the fantastic Tesla presenters you would have seen the brilliance of Elon Musk personified.
You can rest assured there is a similar group of brilliant young minds that have developed and placed in a can for safe keeping an electrical solution. I think that solution will be revealed at the proper time and will be small off the shelf nuclear generators that can be cheaply and quickly built on the already designated sites for which the property has already been bought.
Won’t that apply to EVs, too?“
No. The EV’s would be able to be sold in all states. So if the rat states ban the sale of ICE vehicles it would have the effect of a national standard because car makers will not make cars they can only sell in half of the states they will only make EV’s so the vehicles they do make can be sold in every state.
Not only that, 30 years from now, those who still have gas vehicles, the indoctrinated will vilify, chase down, assault, mock, target, and pursue them for poisoning their neighbors with noxious exhaust emissions. Classic cars will be defaced etc...
I drove by the Tesla plant in Austin, that thing is huge.
I don't see that happening anytime soon. EV's are just not up to the task in winter environments. Even in mild climates people live in apartment complexes and houses without driveway parking.
