Better get that payment upfront and in cash. I'm just saying.
Edit:

How is this news? It’s just another piece of production equipment, being a robot doesn’t make it very special or indicative of Cybertruck production progress.

They have good cash on hand, $21 billion as of the previous quarter.

what makes you say that?

This thing has always seemed like a death trap to everyone around it. Have regulators approved this for the road? It seems like it would cause much more fatal accidents for anyone hit by it.

Does the Cybertruck take much more charging time if it is using the Tesla Semi charger?

Agreed but do regulators care? Hummers and even some other large SUVs to some extent feel the same.

It's still better than most of the other Tesla posts, that really have no connection to technology.

Elaborate or delete your insinuating comment.
EDIT: He added 3 sources, but they don't provide information regarding his comment. A ramp up of a new factory will always cost money. This is not new(s).

What are you even talking about? Have you ever seen a truck? Plenty of trucks are about as aerodynamic as a rectangular box made of metal. I would not want to get hit by any truck.

I don't think OP is talking about the aerodynamics. It is about the vehicles' effect in a collision. Most automobile exteriors are designed to absorb the energy of a collision by crumpling and protect the interior. The Cybertruck's use of work hardened steel in its exterior would cause it to either transfer most of the energy to the other colliding vehicle or in case of collision with a large stationary object like a concrete wall transfer the energy to the interior.

Elon is still the CEO of Tesla and Twitter. He's not paying rent for Twitter office space in Europe and rumor is that he's not paying severance pay for laid-off employees either....not a leap.

And? It's working capital and that can quickly evaporate. Apple's current cash and cash equivalence is +$200B.

Kuka. They should've googled that before naming something Kuka. (Kuka means trashcan in Hungarian)

Semi Chargers? Has one of these been built? Thing I read on them that they would need there own electrical substation to supply he power the require.

My point here is that they can pay for equipment, they are not reliant on selling stock to raise funds for equipment.

They had a delivery video for Pepsi I just viewed again. I also see a video breaking down the average substation math, but this video for Pepsi also shows 500 miles, so that would be multiplied by 4 to achieve the same miles as other semi 2000 miles, so 4x the charging time over 4 units for the same loads if the batteries do not weigh any more than the standard semi engine and tank in order to haul the same amount of allowable weight on the roads? It said these new chargers were for both the Semi and Cybertruck, but if so I do not understand if it's charging time savings, additional load, or why on the Cybertruck? https://youtu.be/LtOqU2o81iI?t=1587

You may want to check up on the battery weights there compared to the engine and you can include fuel (fuel gets lighter as truck consumes the fuel).
I’m 100% on with EVs but ev long haul won’t be there in a while. I think hydrogen for trains, ships and trucks are the way to go. But we’ll need a ton of energy. I say nukes run at full power and with wind and solar any extra is spent creating hydrogen for long haul.

Pepsi said 500 mile hauling lighter things like chips. Soda will be limited to 100 miles… not great.

It's not even a blog, really, it's just a site to regurgitate Elon Musk's propaganda, but made to look like a legitimate news site.

The frame structure picture that was leaked the other week looked like it was designed for that as would be expected. Tesla designs their cars for 5 star crash ratings and I expect the cybertruck wouldn't be any different.
It just seems like it would be a pain in the ass to repair that though.

Elon is the CEO and owner of Twitter. When the Twitter office spaces are not being paid for its because Elon is not coming out of his own pockets to pay those bills.
Elon is the CEO but not the owner of Tesla. He is is a very large stake holder. Any bill Tesla pays or does not pay is part of Tesla's finances not Elons.
Tesla currently has 2 billion in debt down from 5.4 billion in 2021 which is also down from there peek debt which was 11.6 billion in 2019.
Say what you will about Elon. But Tesla has virtually no debt meaning their contractors are fully paid, and this has been true for 4 years.
