"Is the Space X rocket engine option already available?"

I am pretty sure that is going to be reserved for the sportster.

Now that we have actual production cars the Nurburgring will make a lot more sense.

Some people still think the Plaid Model S was cancelled.

Another top Tesla exec leaves: Tesla Executive and Top Musk Lieutenant Has Left the Company

Speculation for the lateness of the Semi & cancellation of the plaid on this article and several other articles...is that the 4680 battery is behind schedule. Similar to the delays for Model 3 and the new at that time battery delays.

Now back related to topic of a semi:
"Tesla Inc. has parted ways with Jerome Guillen, a 10-year veteran who most recently served as president of heavy trucking and was one of four top executives running the company including CEO Elon Musk."

So either big issues with the truck and time to cash out, or big issues with truck and incorrect decisions are being made.

At least Frito-Lay has eaten the chips.
