6:39 - people finally see donald for what he truly is
I'm shocked that Brazil has a higher income disparity than countries like Cuba, Venezuela or N Korea.
Over 1.5 million are on the waiting list to purchase the Cybertruck. Tesla will be selling every truck they make before it's off the assembly line, for years to come.
Cara talking about the events of Oct 7th... "was that a revolution?". Tell me you know nothing about the Middle East conflict without telling me you know nothing about the Middle East conflict.
@25:40 Prediction that Cybertruck would fail and that reviews were negative. What reviews are you referring to? Everyone I've seen has been extremely positive even from automotive analysts who initially thought they would dislike the truck but after driving it came away very impressed. Did you know it's the first vehicle ever to have steer by wire without a column? And that it's turning radius is the same as the average large sedan? Did you know it's the first vehicle ever to have 48 volt architecture for low level electronics? Lots of other cool features. It will do extremely well. 2 million reservations so far. This may be the dumbest prediction I've heard in many years. Here is a review thats objective. ua-cam.com/video/usxgnI1YuOc/v-deo.html
I agree with all of that….buuuuuuut I think the sales could crater, but I don’t think that will happen for at least a few years….
