It’s hard to read anything about this guy and not think immediately… Fuck this dude. I know there are tens of thousands of employees behind him but still I just can’t help it.

Getting close to that 2021 release at $40k purchase price?
It wouldn't be reasonable to expect the 40k price after the crazy inflation we've seen
What I want to know is how much higher is it after taking inflation into account.
I would be amazed if it sells for anywhere near 40. I bet it launches at closer to 60.
The F-150 EV starts at $60k and Tesla views themselves as a luxury brand, so yeah no way it's less than $70k
Somewhere in the 60-70k range is probably where it'll land ya.
That'd be 15-25k more after inflation (instead of 20-30k more)
Edit: at least it should fully qualify for the 7500 federal rebate since it uses the 4680 cells. Was reading the m3 might lose the full rebate in 2024
Very curious to see the price this launches at.
Over/under 60K?
Over, by a significant amount.
The second generation Ford Lightning EV will be out in late 2024 as a 2025 model. They also have a smaller EV pickup coming out not long after. The Ram EV will be out as well as the GMC Sierra.
Tesla was the first to announce and will likely be last to deliver.
Common Tesla L
But does it hold 30 gallons of water in the rear bumper?
I reserved one right when it was announced, but in the time since:
- Rivian came out, proved they are great vehicles, and I put a reservation down for one of those.
- Aptera came back from the dead.
- Tesla has been embroiled in numerous QC and autopilot scandals, and appears to have stagnated on any kind of progress there.
- Musk demonstrated that he is an authoritarian right-wing terrorist, destroying any chance of my ever wanting to be involved with any of his ventures.
So as much as I love this things bizarre design, I’m gonna stick with my Rivian preorder instead.
You actually genuinely like the design?
