I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.

I think its crazy that they made $800 mil worth of these cars. Who the hell thought they would sell well?

I always thought he was making them as a limited high-end run. It's neither of those things.

That's 80,000 vehicles. The production capacity is 250k. Ford sold 460,000 F-150s last year.

Chrysler had an inventory of over 1 million last year, they've ran through that by March.

Elon underestimated how willing people were to buy a truck from a nazi.

If he drops the price to about $8k and includes lifetime fast charging, I'd consider one. Of course, for $8k, there are plenty of much nicer used trucks available on the market, though.

Idunno, they seem like they'd be perpetual rotten fruit magnets. Like you'd have to hose them down a lot
