The Cybertruck is about to eclipse the sales of S&X combined, and is still backordered - meaning excess demand on the books.
What happened with comparative sales when the government teet wasn’t offering consumers tax credits?
And for teet to the manufacturer, look at the governments balance sheet and tell me which automotive companies have a loan with federal bucks? (starts with F and ends with Ord)
Dude, S&X are super low volume vehicles. Like they barely sell at all and they’re more stale than week old bread. Of course there’s a backorder on the Cyberturd. It’s brand new and they took a bunch of orders for the four years it was promised. A more interesting metric would be new orders. Man, you’ve got your head so far up Elon’s asshole that you could chew his food for him.

I guess he could set up a med spa or something for cash. Yeah injecting women with testosterone would be the perfect outcome for him
I was being intentionally hyperbolic, but I wouldn’t be surprised by anything in today’s Texas.

Theyve put 6 million battery vehicles on the road. They produced the best selling vehicle globally for the last 2 years. Their vehicles are more American-made than any vehicle from any US brand.
But sure, theyre “hardly legit” because… you dont like Elon.
Theyve also turned a profit for the last 4 years. Their “slowing” last 4 quarters US sales was 625,000 vehicles. The “legit auto manufacturer growing EV sales”, in 2nd place over the same period sold 80,000. They also separate EV business on their financials. Wanna share how much money that venture made?
Care to share your thoughts on the Cybertruck? And, yes, I don’t like Elon and don’t think he’s a legit CEO at this point. I believe he is an existential threat to Tesla being an ongoing concern. The company is listless at best and chaotic at worst while others are catching-up. Companies lose their way all the time and I think that’s what’s happening to Tesla at this point. If and when the government teet dries up Tesla is fucked. Just as much as you make a point that I don’t like Elon (true) I can argue that your blind love of him Tesla blinds you to bright blinking red lights.

That was one of the most predictable things ever.
The EV market is basically legit EV manufacturer that is Profitable - Tesla; legit EV manufacturer subsidized by Saudis and Bezos - Lucid and Rivian; and then a bunch of scams and pretenders a la Farraday, Nikola, Canoo, etc. Henrik Fisker has a hurrible track record.
I hardly think any manufacturer that releases an albatross like the Cybertruck into the wild can be considered a “legit” manufacturer. It is, on no uncertain terms, a complete joke of a vehicle. Several major insurers won’t even insure them. Hardly legit.
You also miss a whole lot of “legit” auto manufacturers that are seeing increases in EV sales as opposed to Tesla’s decreasing sales.2 hours ago, Armybrat said:So I hear Tesla has an EV in the works that will be priced in the $25,000 range.
Something like that could be a game changer in the lagging EV market.But I don’t really know diddly squat.
Elon doesn’t have the best track record of cashing the checks that his mouth writes.

Just not the type of thing you'd expect from such a well-regarded, ethically minded institution like Baylor.
Baylor University and Baylor College of Medicine are unrelated entities.

the food options are terrible. it's papas at ridiculous prices, that's about it. almost no extra creature comforts. we are always on SWA through Hobby so I don't know what if any lounges are there. It's the worst airport I've ever had to deal with.
FWIW, Pappas lost their lease a year ago so there haven’t been any Pappas restaurants at Hobby since last May. I mainly fly UA so don’t normally use HOU, but it’s never really bothered me on the occasions that I’ve used, but I live in Houston so I’m in/out and it’s super easy from that perspective. I find airports like DEN, LAX, etc to be a much more miserable experience.

that is the worst airport in the country to get stuck in. atrociously bad airport.
Hobby? I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite airport, but I’ve never thought of it as being atrociously bad.

Slightly related to topic warning.
Family and I drove to Amarillo and back to have lunch with friends at the Big Texan. (My wife and I are both teachers, which is why we can do stupid shit like this in the summer.) Anyway, we just had to stop by the Cadillac Ranch. I'm sorry, but that was one of the most dumbass things I've ever seen. Yay. Cars in the ground. To make matters worse, you're apparently supposed to buy or bring spray paint and paint all over the GD property. I'm no Greta Thornburg, but this just seemed so damaging and wasteful. I don't get it.
Did you finish the 72oz steak?

What did the miscreant steal? It’s got to be more than a Snickers bar if prosecution is a concern.
