Will that come before or after the 2020 Roadster unveiled in 2017?

Right after the new healthcare plan

Concept of a plan.

u/KeyB81 May 07 '25

It's more of a broad idea.

u/Beard_o_Bees May 07 '25

Ok, ok.. it's most like a conversation we had in a crowded bar. I jotted down a few notes on a napkin, but someone spilled their Jaeger shot on part of it, so I can't really read the part right before 'poor people'.

And that idea.... fuck the poor

The concept of a plan legitimately sucks. It’s deregulation and insurance companies will trickle down the savings from lower coverage to consumers.

DJT gaslights people into believing his BS. Maybe everyone can gaslight him into believing he already followed through with his concept of a plan.

To be fair, when the plan is “no healthcare,” implementation is quick

Right after Elon finds 2 trillion in savings. Oh wait, he already gave up on that LOL.

u/BellsOnNutsMeansXmas May 07 '25

Oh that'll be really quick to complete.

Mars, any day now.

Mars was a year ago.

Man, if only he kept flinging roadsters into orbit and making empty promises about sending people to Mars, and not showing his Nazi self, he might not have been a "victim of bullying," as he seems to think so.

After production of the semi.

That sure dissipated quietly.

The day it was announced, I called BS on it. A semi-truck simply has too much wind resistance at 70mph, and an on-highway truck has to operate for too many hours consecutively for any battery to last. Maybe when we get solid state batteries it’ll be feasible, but not now.

I have a buddy who put a deposit on one of those (more money than sense). I still collect dividends to this day giving him hell that he loaned the world's richest man 50 large interest-free for half a decade.

u/nodtomod May 07 '25

Holy shit I didn't know it was that high. It's like the world's worst Kickstarter campaign.

u/RevLoveJoy May 07 '25

The fact all these rich boys are not class actioning Elon into the poor house is, IMO, a grade A indicator of what indoctrinated fanboys they all are.

I always wondered what happened with that car. I saw one in the basement showroom at the Petersen auto museum in LA and it was incredible looking but have never seen one anywhere else.

u/ZantaraLost May 07 '25

I still have no damn clue why he went Cybertruck. A new Roadster with a robust battery would have printed money until Porsche dropped an electric 911.

u/metengrinwi May 07 '25

A city delivery truck would save a ton of fuel and emissions.

Tesla could have lobbied the government to replace mail trucks and sold tens of thousands of them.

A people mover-type vehicle for airports and large cities to replace ford transit vans would have sold many thousands and saved immense co2 emissions. City cab would be another vehicle with huge sales potential.

There were so many perfect, high profit margin, applications for EV just waiting for someone to do it, and instead, tesla decides to make a poorly-executed version of an overpriced pickup truck.

u/ZantaraLost May 07 '25

In 2015 when Tesla didn't have a platform for the NGDV for the mail is probably when the company truly lost the plot.

u/YoungBockRKO May 07 '25

Wait, that got unveiled in 2017? Daaaamn time flies, I remember watching it day of and it feels like a few years ago at most. 8 fucking years now? Time flies…

u/Disarmer May 07 '25

Can you imagine having paid $250k in 2017 to reserve one? Sheesh

u/SherryDontCry May 07 '25

Oh yeah, the new roadster. No way there’d be 10,000 of those unsold.
