Tesla cars are in a pickle, and so too is the Optimus humanoid robot program. The company sold around 5,000 Cybertruck models in Q2 of this year.

Here's their story, plus @CNN's article, "Why Tesla’s Cybertruck has been such a flop."

Norway hit 96.9% EV market share in June - finding a gas car there is like spotting a unicorn in a Tesla showroom

Maybe Waymo was right with their lidar-equipped cars?
Maybe vision-only indeed doesn't cut it?
Another Elmo blunder.
LOL so 2019 Elon claimed "If you need a geofence area you don't have real self driving!"
