I mean, the Model Y, now the best selling vehicle of all also only sold a few at its launch event. Nothing is more boring that doing paperwork and deliveries. Wouldn’t be much of a party haha :P
This might be their way to prevent scalpers
I think at most this is a misunderstanding. That is, they actually hand over 10 units on the night, but deliveries will also take place at the service centers, maybe on Dec 1st if not the same night.
Why not give them all that night? Isn’t that the point of the event? Why wait on some of them if they are ready to deliver?
It won’t be 12/01 if they haven’t released specs or pricing yet. For these first 10, they’re certainly curated individuals who have no doubt signed NDAs. If they were ready to release any significant number of vehicles in the near future we’d have leaked pricing info by now
Even if they only deliver 10 this week it would just be a non-story. Start of production always will be slow. It’s true for every company out there and it has been true for Tesla in the past. I don’t remember even Elon ever claiming that they wouldn’t have to ramp up first.
The important question are: 1) What are the actual specs? 2) How many people are going to buy it?
MKBHDs palms are sweating now
Think of all the positive reviews this guy is gunna drop!
I imagine a negative comment will be something like: “it’s a bit big, so you might be able to find less parking spots”.
they just want to say they delivered in 2023. It isn’t on their website with pricing or configurations.
Why would they put those on the website before the party?
Hope 1 of the 10 that gets it have a car reviewer review the Cybertruck. I want someone like Doug DeMuro
Doug’a great, but even he has a maximum threshold for how much he’ll bash something. His brand is a business at the end of the day.
When I saw this thing 4 years ago I said Tesla is done. Did not anticipate that Elon would be outed as an antisemite right before this abomination was dead on arrival. To whatever chump buys this thing, you deserve to get stranded. At least it’ll be bullet proof! As if that matters lol.
Stop with the antisemite lie. He supports Jews and Israel. His comments were critical of leftest policies which some Jewish people hold that are detrimental to the survival of the state of Israel. Only idiots who believe the media smear campaign against Musk think that criticizing the policies of SOME Jews equates to antisemitism. It’s the exact opposite of reality, so stop repeating the lie.
So done. Proceeded at that moment to go from $20/share to over $350 a share, and is still $230, and on the rise again, with amazing cash on hand now to weather the shitpost storm :)
What does done mean?
it’s honestly kinda sad how everything is about share price
like, there’s just something off about tesla stock people
Hey congrats on financially supporting a fascist man child. Or are you just praising the companies financials that are propped up by fairy dust and doesn’t have anything real backing it? It’s a bubble dude, get out now before Musk turns it into a game of hot potato.
^emotional investing
oddly, self-outed, too
Oh no! The sky is falling again!!! Hilarious. I hope Tesla succeeds with it just to disappoint the morons who’ve been saying it didn’t exist for years, and are now switching to fabricating constant imaginary drama. Gonna be interesting to see them either grow up and move on, or tie themselves into knots trying to persist the hate - what a weird way to live.
Technically speaking: It indeed didn‘t exist for years.
Technically speaking: it existed in small numbers for years. (i e. prototypes)
What is with the drumbeat of constant negativity in this subreddit?
This is literally a non-story and says nothing about how many will be delivered in the days following the event. Just a blog trying to find something to write about. Are we supposed to expect hundreds of employee customers getting their trucks at the event night? That event is about showcasing what the actual truck is now after 4 years since the launch event.
Yeah, there is plenty to laugh at in this entire shit
showsaga, but “only” 10 items of a very large and heavy product being handed over at a PR event really ain’t it.
Remember when Tesla only delivered 30 model 3s, all to employees at a “delivery event” just like this one and then it turned out all to be a big scam and they never really ramped production?

I suspect this is closer to when the delivered a handful of Model X to special customers and then stopped production for a while to finish the development. Unfortunately Tesla has this attitude of having to work fast and ship something instead of taking the time to get it right. My impression is that ultimately this stems from Musk being a bad leader.
They have more or less gotten away with it so far, though admittedly a lot of their bad reputation regarding quality was caused by it. It’s definitely going to be interesting to see what the reaction is going to be in the EV market context we have now and with this product being much less hyped than previous ones.
Add “/s” or the bots will downvote you to oblivion.
Reminds me of the Lucid delivery event, tbh.
10 too many
Why tf is it so difficult to make these? Just take a Model Y and replace the frame with cheaper stamped sheet metal. The only good changes to make here for 99% of potential buyers are ones that might make it cheaper. Why overcomplicte this?
Because they only made 10 that weren’t a complete shitshow on build quality.
Why bother?
