Sounds like they're putting the swastikart before the horse

This is actually smart thinking...

The cyber trucks they produce today, will sit on the lot for years before demand catches up thru backlog. Since all they're going to do for 3-5 years is sit in a parking lot, they don't need fancy luxuries like steering wheels or door handles.

Maybe by the time they sell, they'll have it ready 🤔

I wish that were the truth, unfortunately, Elon has been using his other companies to buy up thousands of cyber trucks, they are unfortunately selling just to himself.

They're still sitting in parking lots, though.

Luckily Tesla‘s firsts are always fabricated media spectacles so I don‘t expect this unit there to actually be used.

You can sure as shit bet I'm not getting into a FSD tesla. Hell, I probably wouldn't even get into a normal tesla.

Hype and wild promises are great at duping investors, apparently.

Do not give Elon one penny.

According to the Musk timeline we should be starting construction on a Dyson sphere around about now.
