Watched a great vid on utube about Musk and his businesses, seems to me he is a construct (not a real person)(Jeffrey Epstein🤔) (same could be said about there businesses).
Think Enron,Alameda research,Theranos etc etc.
Then there's TerraMar ,Ghislaine Maxwell and Terra Carta King Charles ,WEF ongoing global project.
Global money laundering,wealth transfer up the ladder,tax avoidance for global corps and global elites whist everything else goes down the shitter🥳🤝
Mold cost: $0 (sheet plate directly from steel plants)
Custom parts cost: negligible (all automotive companies buy components from a very few bulk manufacturers)
Licenses, royalties, etc.: $0
Own R&D: $0
Actual labor and workmanship: $1000 or less?
Retail price: $90,000
The car is not important here, it is just a bridge to make people accept close-to-zero production cost vehicle which would sell at a science fiction price.
Plus, it will generate huge ownership costs for replacement of tires and brake components. The real fun will be when batteries will be remotely disconnected because the driver forgot to pay some $1 tax balance…
A real advantage: no reasonable driver will buy this thing second-hand. Maybe except folks with the inner drive (pun intended) named in several Bronson’s movies…
Oh my I had a Dolly, and a Special, my favourite cars, I used to take the seats out for picnics and tip sofas in the open top to get them home from the boot sale. So cheap to run, 750cc engine lol...
I don't have an electric car. I do however have an electric, battery powered mower and the superiority of this technology is more clearly seen with a mower than a car, because you have to physically push a mower. The electric mower is much much lighter.
Any new technology is going to have problems, but once these are ironed out the electric car is bound to win.
I have an electric mains wired mower which I bought to replace a petrol mower I was given by my dad (it was his). The petrol one was noisy and unless one was prepared to turn it off each time one stopped, the noise was persistant.
I didn't like the idea of the pollution either although the noise was the main issue.
This is to say thanks for comments. For some reason I cannot 'like' by clicking on the like button. It is not responding.
Loved the old 2CV!
Quirky, and utilitarian.
Cybertruck?
Naaah.
Of course, I don't like any EVs, as no one has the electrical grid, nor any excess power to charge these things.
I live in a snow belt, so will stick to my Toyota Tundra 4X4.
Very few Teslas mid-winter...

All I can say is that "truck" is hideous! Ugliest vehicle I have seen in My 67-year life! LOL!

Perhaps Musk should consider hiring Zagato to design his toys?
