Great, we can make this thread last another year - or more.

I wonder how all those companies feel with their deposits tied up for another year, or more, without a truck.

I wonder how this will dismissed by those who are fanboys and slam all the other companies that have not produced a vehicle.

And the production Meh E can never match Tesla tech.
