Elon did his usual "escape forward" trick but in the end this iteration does not deliver what was promised.

I reserved a $40k truck in 2019 that was supposed to be much easier to manufacture than regular cars - hence the relatively good price. No expensive paint shop, much easier line to make body panels of cold rolled steel bent into shape. Exaskeleton from a single. Industrial design, no side mirrors, no wipers. 6 passengers.

We should ask ourselvelves are the original promises still possible under a different package? And please make it road legal for Europeans with a regular driving licence.

Please don’t. I’d like to keep this ridiculous children killing behemoth off European roads if at all possible.

I hadn't heard the term "escape forward" before. It's a great way to describe what I previously didn't have the words to, thanks!

> from the French: fuite en avant. It means: “an escape forward.” The idea is basically this: you escape a disaster by moving on quickly. Alas, most of the time, you're moving quickly to the next disaster.
