I thought someone said he hit a Cylon  would seem apropos

One of the things that Musk threw out when he was driving the prototype around town was that the production version may be smaller to better fit in a standard garage. That tells me this thing is no where near production ready as that is essentially redesigning it from the ground up.

Musk is always over promise/under deliver. And when he misses, there is an explanation with even rosier expectations for next time.

No, you said "Surprised they didn't do this earlier. " and I said they could have had they not promised it for free.
They can do what they want, but it would have bit them in the PR butt had they promised it for free (for at least 4 years) and then turned around and charged for it.

There is no way the Chevy is going to allow Tesla to beat them in the World's Ugliest Truck Contest

I see in the news today that after all the bragging about beating the 1/2 ton pickups in payload and towing that the Cybertruck is a 3/4 ton class vehicle. Go figure.
