    SuperCharger - aparently, according to one of the contractors, SC HQ team cost to deploy was 2x higher and 2x slower than doing it with a contractor/partner. It took them over 12 months to deploy destination chargers (WTF?!). It appears Elon saw the numbers and performance and decided they need a clean slate. Ditch the old team, rehire to top performers and rebuild a small agile team, work with partners, save money and open up to working with partners that would split the costs. At this point there is no reason for Tesla to cover the capital expenditure for the ENTIRE US EV fleet. Others should pay some of these costs (I'm looking at legacy, large outlets, etc). It benefits them, they should cover some of the cost. Also, looks like BP has already started deploying Tesla SC under their own brand in the UK and is looking to do the same in the US.

    Chicago is a HUGE train depot. Those CT were probably waiting for trucks to carry them to different locations in the midwest. Tons of trucks are now busy moving cars to/from Florida as snowbirds return to the north. I've heard 1-2 month wait on vehicle delivery right now.

    @@Butter_EV I assume Tesla has contracts in place to secure some % of shipping but with trucking usually some are 'float' and are more dynamic in pricing and availability. Pretty sure they'll make it to buyers but won't be surprised if it will take a week or two to empty that lot.

    There are 148 CyberToys for sale on Auto Trader. The lowest price is $119K. There was one that sold for $13K on Ebay. Obviously these owners are not satisfied with their purchase. Tesla obviously isn't suing these owners or they wouldn't try to sell them. How long will Tesla stay in business?

    ??? When can you start using a gooseneck trailer with the Cyiber truck I feel that that is what is required at least the Chevy and Ford electric trucks, could have that option added easier because of their style of tuck for use with a gooseneck trailers if they want to. I feel that the Cyiber trucks could also add that option if they want to it would improve the farmer's ability to utilize all of the trailers that they already have on the farm. When is Elon going to accommodate the farmers and ranchers with their needs and requirements of their professions and needs? I feel that Elon is missing out on or does not even care about or are they only purchasing the semi-truck for the gooseneck trailers that they have now? Sincerely! R.S.V.

    Tesla is making 1000 a week CT, there are 2 million on back order, at this rate it'll take Tesla 26 years to get everyone the truck they ordered. There is only 52 weeks in a year. Now when Tesla recalled all of those CT, It was like 3800 of them, that was in a 20 week span. The CT will be discontinued before majority of the ppl get theirs. I realize they say they can do way more, they aren't though. How long are you willing to wait, Vehicle Virgins was waiting for 4 years. Then on top of that, when you get rid of the whole supercharger team, the knowledge is somewhat lost, where is he gonna get these so called professionals that know how to build superchargers? You don't come out of intern just knowing all that. As far as FSD its been promised since 2017, the company is under DOJ investigation for wire fraud and FSD. Everything I just said here is fact.

As of February 2024, Tesla is manufacturing around 80 Cybertrucks per day. On Top of Google, they aren't making them fast enough, nor are they gonna.
