Me as well. He makes a good point that other car companies like Ford develop a prototype that usually gets WOWS, but in the end changes are made and the vehicle manufactured falls short of expectation. Tesla doesn't do that. I fully expect the product truck to produce a lot of excitement. This guy isn't afraid to push the envelope, and he is usually ahead of the game, engineering and design wise.Watched it last night on TV. Not gonna lie, that truck is starting to grow on me...
Gross.
But on the topic of Elon musk... he has a mind that never stops, that’s for sure.

to be fair, Elon had a ton of headwind and plenty of very educated reasonable people chiming in there were reasonable odds based on serious concerns that long term viability was going to be challenged. Not saying plenty of people on this site, and humans in general, couldnt benefit from more open mindness about the future and how its going to look.Good bit of love here for EM. But it wasn’t so long ago (like within the last year) that there was a double handful of posts saying Tesla was absolutely, for sure not going to make it - ie, go bankrupt. But Tesla just hit its first of several production targets (all units are sold before they’re built), so Elon earned a cool $770M.
I wouldn’t bet against the guy, even if the upcoming launch goes bad. He’s playing a long game.

How about the tunnel setup?
