Tesla chair says Elon Musk needs $46 billion pay plan to stay motivated
Musk could devote less time to Tesla if pay isn't re-approved, shareholders hear.

Good thing Tesla has all that money rolling in from its wildly-successful Cybertruck debut.
It's funny, the world was excited for basically a teched out Toyota Tundra with shitloads of battery. The designers were ready to build that, and they could have kept literally everything else the same (steer by wire, steel skin, glass, bed cover, etc) and everyone would have been happy.
Even looking weird people were excited for it.
But then they deleted half the range and doubled the price and ::pikachu face:: everyone hates it.
Sure, musk was the reason it looks weird, but I'd be willing to bet he's 100% the reason for those other things too, because they likely had to cut weight and size to make it's weird look physical possible.
(I'd still buy it if it had 500+ range)
Or maybe the range sucks because some dipshit insisted it use heavy fucking stainless steel instead of lightweight aluminum or because some dipshit wanted it being "bulletproof" as a selling point.
Sounds like some dipshit shouldn't be making important decisions.
They could replace the skin with foam board, but all that weight savings would just let them reduce the battery to save more on the manufacturing costs.
FYI, it only weighs about 400lbs more than the F150 Lightning, so the skin probably doesn't add much weight over a traditional truck skin. The four wheel steering tech and glass roof probably add more.

I finally saw one of those in person yesterday. It looked like a Hummer fucked a DeLorean.
It reminded me of when Hummers were all the rage as a way to say, "look how much money I can piss away!"
Ok, so that's 3000 Cybertrucks sold, how much Profit do they need to make on each car for a 46 billion payout...?
I was told there would be no math.
I need $46 billion to motivate me to math the math
