If the macro explodes today and Tesla follows, IR must know the status of the short interest….. Would be nice for a timed release of some amazing news official Berlin rate or cybertruck photos. Take a move out of shorties playbook.

Or do an ion implant, the body is conductive. Plating options? Heat treats? Robotic wrap with laser cut?
Lots of options. I’ll swag for heat treated in a purple tone. That would be worth hiding.

I can ask where's the best place for a company to be on this graph? Seems unless you're trying to "use" politics to sell your cars, then being neutral would be best? Neutral ought to give you access to the greatest potential buyers?

Agreed. Wraps? No. Been there, done that; too fragile to last long on any truck, let alone CT. My thought is how about a reverse 3D printed design of the customer's choosing; i.e. an automated, laser guided engraving process? Each one truly original and unique.
OK I know; very off topic. Now back to the Red-Green Show.
Reminds me of the old quote by Reed Hasting on Netflix needing to become HBO faster than HBO could become Netflix.

Potential price increases in China coming.
Bring on the 10 yr car loans! This makes EVs way more affordable. Elon said they were doing 10 yr loans in Spain (correct?) but that Tesla didn't have the cash to pull it off large scale. We'll see.

So @Gigapress, were you competing with the 14 year-old who just got an engineering job at SpaceX? I really find it hard to believe you didn't get past the first round!
You're definitely one of our Supermen! Glad to see you posting again!
End of quarter sales booster right there. HURRY!!!

This seems odd?
Unless they're doing something weird like only building white interior cars in CA and not Texas, why remove an option they were building anyway and is profitable?

Unlikely. Paintshops are expensive, but automated. A wrap is a one-off installed by humans hands requiring significant dexterity, very difficult to automate.
I think you're reading what you want to hear into what Elon said. He said CT could be wrapped, not that Tesla would provide wraps. This is an obvious 3rd-party task, that avoids any OEM warranty issues.
Lots of painted metal parts inside the car. It's the exterior bodywork that will be unpainted stainless.
I have no doubt folks will wrap their Cybertrucks. I have significant doubts that Tesla will wrap Cybertrucks, whether at the factory or otherwise. This is a natural 3rd-party product.Just pontificating, but that camouflaged CT was very likely sporting a wrap from someone...YMMV.
Could be related to the rumor of new seats in china?
Cost isn't everything...but I remember hearing that the effective diesel cost in a war zone was something like $400 dollars per gallon. I think that was probably more than 10 years ago, and probably related to Afghanistan or Iraq. Additionally, there are a whole bunch of people at risk every time a tanker of fuel has to drive out to the war zone with a protection detail.
If, for example, you only had to haul out a system of solar panels and batteries once to a forward operating base, then the savings (in both $ and human risk) could be considerable.
Obviously, tons more considerations and logistics that would need to be worked out...and it's not going to work for ALL of the needed vehicles. But, if any of those vehicles can reasonably be swapped to electric, then there could be some advantages, cost savings, and human risk reduction.
I'm pretty sure that the white interior is currently only on Fremont built Model Ys.
And given that they have now removed the white option from the only variant that is exclusively built at GigaTexas that would make me think that there is enough demand for black interior Model Y AWDs, and that they aren't planning to add white interior production to GigaTexas anytime soon.
I do wonder why that is, it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but maybe there is a shortage of the white material?
$2,750 for more range or
$1,000 for white trim/ seats
AWD is also listed as a month later for delivery
Incentivizing an upgrade?
Tweaking used cars toward lower maintenance interior?
4680 structural pack general assembly (front seats) line simplification?
