Where did the Cybertruck go? Late 2021 to late 2022 to now early 2023...the sheer volume of $100 deposits totaled $20MM, just 3 days after announcement.
Also, now that Tesla has had approx 14 years since its first sale, has anyone performed economic analysis of personal impact on environment vs maintainability of the vehicle? A few of my personal friends who bought their Tesla around 2015-2016 recently got rid of their vehicle for pennies on the dollar becuase they didn't want to pay $23-28k for a new battery installed. How is this better than paying $3-4k/year on gas and having significantly less maintenance expense over lifespan of the vehicle?
Tesla has done this before and it's an easy way to raise a lot of money quickly without doing any stock dilution or loans. The only thing that separates it from Fyre Fest who did the same trick to get money is so far Musk has eventually delivered.
