"his failed cybertruck little project"
Just saw that cybertrucks have sold out until 2027
The Italian figures quoted are for low income households only. Subsidy/social welfare rather than tax incentives.
There was a link posted somewhere in the forum a few weeks/months back.
See this is the unseriousness I now have to apply to your posts.
What happened to all those 2 million deposits. Have we 2 million cybertrucks? 1 million? 500 thousand ?
You take fully refundable deposits seriously as a sign of a sale? LOL, you wouldn't last long in business
No I'm specifically laughing at you thinking the cybertruck was a success, based on some fabricated and made up new sales orders figures.
And we can abandon the millions and millions of orders which previously even on this thread were heralded of an example of how successful musks decision was in this space.
It's laughable.
It's goal post moving.
It's objectivity their worst financial failure
Not sure what your point is. I have never claimed the cybertruck is a big sales success. Fact is that if you ordered one today, you won't get it until some time next year. So obviously Tesla can't make enough of them or they don't want too.
I did say here in 2022 that the Model Y could possibly become the best selling car (not EV) in the world in 2023 and I was ridiculed and mocked by many…
Anyway I agree with you that Musk isn't really all that interested any more in making Tesla cars except for robotaxis that can not be driven by humans
I can see the Tesla car division being sold off to a cash rich tech poor buyer like Apple, who failed with their own EV but who are capable of making very high margins on their products from their huge and extremely loyal fanbase
I think apple are happy enough sitting pretty on the PCs, phones and tablets market. I think if tesla were to get bought it would likely be by another car company who will just use the gigafactories for their own vehicles
Maybe not Apple, I was just speculating there. But I would consider it highly likely it will be a non-car company. Maybe Dyson, also failed their EV project which cost them billions, also a high margin - for what exactly? - company like Apple 😂 But they would need a lot of leverage. Google perhaps. I don't think FSD would be part of the deal, so they could soldier on forever with their autonomous project making a bit of progress every year towards perfection 🤣
Or more likely an ambitious tech company from Asia, Foxconn the most likely
Time to bring Henry Fisker back into the fold….. 🤣🤣🤣
Henrik. Nobody will lend him a penny to see him go bankrupt for the third time. Pity, nice man and a visionary. But it is very hard to mass manufacture and market a brand new car make from scratch, even if you don't even make the cars yourself
I can see the Tesla car division being sold off to a cash rich tech poor buyer like Apple,
I hope so, nothing against the present company, but would like to see Tesla continue making some of the worlds best cars (imo) in their classes and expanding perhaps with an ID.3 size and a car above the Y.
Personally I have almost zero interest in FSD.
"Personally I have almost zero interest in FSD"
The overwhelming majority of people had zero interest in personal computers or mobile phones when they were first launched or even several years later 😉
I am actually a bit of a technophile, but I still prefer to drive the car myself (As long as I am able to)😁
You might be mixing up FSD with Autopilot.
I would agree, AP is irrelevant here, but proper full-on FSD - as is possible in several territories right now - is a game changer any technophile should be very interested in.
Will see, I have been known to change my mind..😊
As has the rest of the world many times although most people quite late 😂
At least you had an EV early enough on!
The Irish transport minister has just signed statutory instrument making hands off level 2 autonomous vehicles legal on Irish roads
Minister Canney signs Statutory Instrument to enable Level 2 Autonomous Vehicles on Irish roads - Sean Canney
Why on earth would he do that when there are no such cars available to buy in Ireland? A wild speculation: he and all other EU governments know that the RDW will approve Tesla FSD supervised on March 20th as Musk says he was told
Teslas could be fully driving themselves in this country before the end of the month, or not much after that…
Unbelievably unlikely. Including RDW.
There's no cause for RDW approving anything other than the aggressive nature of musk pushing Tesla people to reach out to Dutch people even staff of the organisation.
That alone is understandably bizarre behaviour for a car manufacturer on any merit.
This comment may have a short shelf life.
Why on earth would he do that when there are no such cars available to buy in Ireland?
It would be prudent for the legislation to come before the vehicle goes on sale surely?
It was a rhetorical question 😁 The vehicles have been driving around for years, just the software has not been enabled as it has not been legal yet in the EU in general or in Ireland in particular. This could very soon change
Yes, in the minds of people that consume Twitter and email agencies in the Netherlands.
I don't think they appreciate the mind games musk deploys in this space . Especially with his inferior camera based technology with it's worse accident record. The Austin stats are pretty appalling and theyre only showing what they want to publish.
As ever can't trust the man as far as you can throw him the consummate 'cad'. Snake oil showman.
He has tricked 8 billion people into making him the richest man the world has ever seen. And the only 2 people who have seen right through that are you and your mute thanking buddy
So you have dropped the charade then ?
Finally. Praise the Elon
Your saviour.
its pretty widely reported that RDW will approve (supervised) FSD by the end of March, not just from Musk. Just to be clear, you are adamant that this isnt happening?
Good lord listermint do you ever give it a rest
Well done for seeing through his facade. What would we do without this expert insight and guidance.
I am seriously contemplating dumping my Tesla shares now - the whole thing is nothing more than a ponzi scheme.
I'm going to be very explicitly clear.
The only "wide" reporting of this are musk himself , Tesla staff and Tesla associated twitter accounts. And it's being propagated on that website.
Did people just stop being serious at some point in the recent past ?
I'm responding to people's comments to me. What's your point ? Have you said "give it a rest" to anyone that's asking questions to me ?
Reply or not , we know the answer…
Fair enough, I don't recall telling you to do any of that.
Personal choice I suppose.
