Did anybody else watch the cybertruck launch event? I’m perplexed by a bunch of things. How they could have spent so much money on amazing promo videos in Iceland, which do make the truck look cool, and then somehow fail to get the most basic things working at the actual event. It’s so dark you can’t see what’s going on most of the time. Elon himself stands to give his talk with his head in a shadow, you can only see his torso!
Then there’s Elon’s speech. It’s incoherent. He rambles on, loses his train of thought, fails to complete sentences, throws in a bunch of zingers which don’t land. If he’d presented that way at any startup / pitch competition he’d lose, despite him presenting a rather impressive vehicle.

The Engadget takedown on the cybertruck is hilarious:
Tesla's Cybertruck is a dystopian, masturbatory fantasy
In Elon's future, the rich should be allowed to dominate (and probably run over) the poor with impunity.

Elon sounds like he is strung out on something, or just booze .
Maybe LSD or other hallucinogen. He's not looking well, heavy, flabby. Zuck would kick his ass if the fight were today.
Apple just does a really good job at launches
Tesla down played the CT launch because its going to take a long time to ramp. Tesla wants its customers to continue to buy its available vehicles instead of waiting for the Cybertruck.
