Prediction: The #Tesla #Cybertruck is going to be a flop.

If it does manage to begin delivery this month, it’s going to be riddled with build quality issues and unforeseen (or foreseen, if you’re actually reasonable) problems with its body panels and bizarre design, leading potential buyers to look elsewhere.

Now that you can actually buy decent (and decent-looking) EV trucks from Ford, GM, and Rivian, the Cybertruck’s competitive appeal is gone.

I’m also taking guesses at the pricing. I think the promised $40k base price is pure fiction, and will never see the light of day. Tesla will start deliveries at some top-end trim which I’m going to guess will end up being $85k–$100k.

Medium term, I think the Cybertuck will be a laughingstock, a weird anomaly in automotive history. Maybe in another 20 years, it will become a collectible curiosity.

What do you think?

You really want to get people back to the office? Forget free cocktails. Think free daycare, six month parental leave, 25 days vacation + holidays, extensive carer benefits for those who need them, the expectation that you’ll stay home and rest rather than work if you’re sick, flexible hours, further help with the enormous cost of living in the cities you operate in.

In case it wasn’t clear what kind of person the new Speaker Mike Johnson is, here is an OpEd he wrote advising that states should “discriminate” against “homosexual conduct” and suggesting they pass laws around “sexual conduct outside marriage.” He is a Christo-Nationalist zealot. Of “The Handmaid’s Tale” variety.

To all of you whose wonderful, kind, compassionate words and support have been so helpful, I have sad news: Father In Law passed away. Mr. Laffy just called in tears, but there was a small silver lining… FIL got his final wish and died peacefully in his sleep. That was so comforting for all of us. I can never thank you guys enough for your consistent caring and empathy. You’ve been beyond amazing. ❤️💔 #gratitude

I get some very interesting email some times.

They might as well threaten to ruin my credit score, too.
