Sorry for him but based on his LinkedIn overview crapping on a company on exit he will never get another quality position at Any of the other automakers. Who would ever hire someone that burns the field on exit. He can say how important he is on LinkedIn pitching to be hired but his world just ended.

The woke mind virus has apparently infected Ethan Heald.
He may or may not but it certainly lends credence to his words when he places himself at considerable career peril in stating them.
Not that he said anything that isn't obvious about Musk with even the most casual observation, but 3rd party verification is nice to read.
More importantly, it’s up over 13 THOUSAND percent on his watch.
The stock went WAY TOO HIGH the first time. Nothing, not even “hopes and dreams” supported that price at that time. That has skewed the numbers dramatically.
As far as the rest of the market being up 25%, take out the top 6 companies holding it up (because of AI) and the view is MUCH different. Much of it hasn’t even recovered from 2022. Can see that in the Russell 2000 index.
If anyone who voted yes the first time on the 55B contract and now votes no, your word is not your bond. Even doubly egregious if you profited from it. True, the optics of layoffs are not great but that ultimately doesn’t matter. If Elon tanks the stock, his options will be worth less as well.
The CT is a slow ramp but making progress. That was more than made clear a while ago by Elon that would be the case.

If the management of any other auto maker had sense they would hire him. Someone like this can prevent problems with new product launches that others in a company are afraid to speak up about.
To all the people saying “OMG!, it rusts!” Well here you go.

I had a Cybertruck pass me near Austin recently with a graffiti wrap on it. Looked so cool!
By definition libertarians are on the political right.
Tesla's head of Cybertruck manufacturing is out
Tesla’s head of Cybertruck manufacturing has left the company. It’s unclear if he was involved in yet another round of...

Apparently the head of CT manufacturing didn't want to stick around. Or Elon didn't want him to.
Motortrend gets different results when dragging a 911 with a CT towing a 911.

Yup. Tesla/Elon shouldn’t have said the qtr mile and instead stuck with the 1/8. Just gives the haters fuel to point to that while they ignore how impressive the CT actually is even if it does “lose” to the Porsche in that scenario. Even Motortrend admitted that in their video. But I’m sure the press will not repeat that.
Just saw a CT in person for the first time today at the Tesla showroom and sat in it. I like it even better after seeing it in person. That thing is awesome. I will be curious to see how it drives with the A puller blind spots and long dash. The parking lot had at least 20 CT’s just delivered and are all sold.

I think they picked the wrong car. It might have been true in older generations of 911, but they have since improved. When Motortrend pulled a similar stunt with the Model X, they picked a Alfa Romeo 4C.
Didn't someone already disprove it with math and Tesla admitted they didn't run 1/4 mile?

Yes someone did do a video on it and if you see the video Tesla posted actual you can see it's not the quarter mile, but rather the 1/8 mile of you look a bit more closely.
My point was more that the results were close enough (for example Motortrend got 0.2s) that perhaps the CT might have beat a 911 if it was an older model.
1. Elon said it was 1/4 mile.
2. Even a 2019 Carrera (not T or S) runs a 12.6, which is still faster.
I think the point is that the CT towing a 911 is not faster than a 911 in the 1/4 mile, but we already knew this.

Right which was incorrect, but the video showed a 1/8 and Tesla's engineer later also said the same (that it was 1/8 not 1/4) when asked about it.
That's still current gen 992, probably a previous gen 991 would be a better match:
For example the 2012 Carrera 4 coupe/cabrio gets 12.7 which matches the CT with the trailer (and weigh about 100 lbs less also, which helps a bit)
Make no mistake, it's all a stunt where they try to get the closest car they can get, but my point is they miscalculated and picked one that was just barely out of reach, instead of one they just barely can beat.
Meh. I give that spastic guy two middle fingers. Never did find him funny.
