Of course the video is heavily biased.
I have said I hated the thing from the get go. That doesn't mean I don't believe they won't improve it. If I were them I'd can the design and build something more practical. Like the Rivian, which makes a ton of sense. I think they are trapped in the sunk cost fallacy at this point, and Musk is too proud to backtrack.
I don't really care either way. I'm not a shareholder or a Tesla owner. That said, I guarantee they make significant improvements to the Cyber Truck platform. Though it could be a while.

They don't need any help. They want it.

It's just a shame what happens to their housepets.
If anyone is interested in doing something charitable, you don't have to be like an ecoterrorist to liberate the test animals, because there are entire, formal institutions dedicated to adopting them out, legally.
The dogs will come with tattoos on their ears.

I have never gotten the knack of taking good care of something and not becoming emotionally attached to it and vice versa. Except, you can't even be a good farmer, unless it's happy and healthy for most of the time. What is the most expensive kind of meats, carnivores? I mean, how does it live, before that pneumatic bolt?

I mean yeah I had the same thought too but theyre along way off from what they even said it was gonna be. Rembrandt you were supposed to be able to drive this thing into the middle of nowhere with a fucking cyber atv in the back and pop up a cyber camper beat the fucking hell out the thing then hose it off. Which looking back idk why we ever got our hopes up like how the fuck was that ever going to work?

I'm loving the whole Tesla truck release. Years in the future this'll come up in conversation and we'll still be able to get chuckles from it. Probably not the legacy Musk is after, but I'll take it.

The stainless steel body is actually one of the ingenious and practical ideas DeLorean had and hell his cars still look great all these decades later. The reason they never really took off is cuz companies wouldn't want to pay to give us anything actually nice and it's probably heavy as fuck

The dog or doge (sp?) crypto scheme he had going is pretty ironic, now that you think of the robotic brain needle.

As has come to my attention, NFT's or (fill-in-the-blank)'acme' investment instrument is deliberately under-capitalized and designed to fail. The start-up of a new venture is planned and pre-funded. When that happens, it’ll be the “secured creditors” who will take control of ALL the underlying collateral; they're not gambling, folks.
For those of us who can't parlay that into executive function -- “secured creditors” You want to be in that tranche.

This Solyndra bullshit makes us look like Kim Jong Il, but you could always aspire to be one of the plutocrats or fatter commissars.

His cars look silly.
Maybe someone will make a popular movie franchise featuring a cybertruck, because that’s the only way anyone will remember it in 30 years

There were some plastic building blocks that looked exactly like this car, for Christmas, when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. Must not have been real legos.

I designed many variants of the Cyber truck when I was 6. I am glad my work paid off.
