A few reflections after 48 hours:. - I knew this truck would have some degree of ‘wow factor’ … but I don’t think I appreciated how insane reactions would be. It would be easier to count the cars / people that don’t take pictures, I even had a McLaren maneuver around a few lanes

Steer-by-wire, Experience Details:. - When I first heard about steer-by-wire on CT it sounded great, but I couldn’t contextualize the tech into actual driving experience . - After a couple hundred miles (I can’t stop driving this truck…) this steer-by-wire system makes you

Cybertruck’s Biggest Surprise:. - The first thing people notice about CT is the design, it’s polarizing and often people pick a side of love/hate (very few are in the middle). - But after a week of driving and maybe ~1,000 in-person interactions, exactly ZERO people have disliked

@elonmusk Also people quickly forget. At the time the compensation plan was proposed Tesla still only had a 50/50 chance of surviving (much less succeeding in a grand way). Much was written about how unachievable & unrealistic the targets were. Now after the game has concluded, someone.

A testament to how extraordinary Cybertruck actually is as a product . Not many companies make (hardware) products that people love these days. Try to name a few !.

Very few products have had the longevity as the V1 of Model 3 (part of the reason is because Tesla continuously improved the product for ~6 years). But this refresh takes refinement to the next level. Great work to all Teams involved.

I think people are too negative on the auto industry in general. 20 years ago you had to pay $150k+ to go 0-60 in 4.5 seconds in a Gallardo . Today you get better safety, tech, speed… and next level innovation. What a time to be alive !

Another coworker of mine with a super unique Cybertruck “wrap”. This is actually a clear PPF that then gets painted (in an actual paint booth) so you can add several layers and get effects you may not be able to with a wrap . One of my personal favorites so far !

@cybrtrkguy @SawyerMerritt @CybrtruckNews Tesla Insurance isn’t available in my State currently so I’m using GEICO -. Since there isn’t a lot of data on CT, I called and explained some of the passive/active safety features, which I think helped!. Overall their safety impression of Tesla is fantastic in general, at least.

@elonmusk @WholeMarsBlog And not just cut obvious costs, you’ll have to delete things that you don’t even think are possible to do without . Execs should hear the perspective for lowest possible cost from their staff and then set a target for half of that number . This march is not for the faint hearted.

My hope is that our Government is so cyclic in nature that we’ll at least have periods of support to balance out the oppositions . I can assure you tens of thousands of people are working as hard as we possibly can to give us the best % chance of an optimistic future . I suppose.
Not to say that anyone is perfect, but it seems obvious that historians will look back in horrified disbelief that the American government went so far out of its way to try to stymie its greatest technological asset

All things considered this is the best pound for pound vehicle on the planet in my opinion . (Utility per dollar is off the charts with Model Y).
BREAKING: For the first time ever, the @Tesla Model Y was officially the best-selling car overall in the world in 2023, with 1.23 million units sold. This is the first time an EV took the #1 spot in global sales. What's crazy is that Model Y production started only 4 years ago.

Fantastic execution by the @Shift4 team!! . It was a great Q3 and that is excluding several high-impact tailwinds that will show up in Q4/Q1. I know the volatility can be frustrating for the staff, shareholders, etc. but this is a $50B+ company by 2030. (Most companies that.

There are so many unbelievable Supply Chain stories over the past decade. The type of extreme effort it requires makes me appreciate our vehicles that much more.
@teslaownersSV I might be getting to the point where I’ve overseen the construction of a wider range of manufacturing systems than anyone. Managing a global supply chain is also very difficult and underrated. Tactics wins battles, but logistics (supply chain) wins wars.

This is the #1 surprise people have once they start looking at purchasing a Tesla . These are not $70k+ vehicles, in fact if affordability is your primary driver as a consumer, a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y will hit your radar.
Model 3 is more affordable than most people realize.
