Im curious about the timing of this announcement.

On the surface, it seems to take the wind out of their sails.

They told us the cybertruck was awesome.

They told us flying cars soon.

Now we see the fate of the first promise.

I would have delayed this announcement for as long as possible after the flying car show from a PR perspective.

Which makes me think this announcement is throwing a bone to the financial bean counters ahead of the potential merger with SpaceX.

Cleaning the companies books of fat before the big game.

... in order to free up production capacity for the Cybercab.

Hah, feels like when someone says they're going to stop dating the unemployed slob to focus on dating the alcoholic.

A taxi with only 2 doors, what an improvement!

I mean as much as I love thd idea of actually doing something bonkers, the lack of sales seemed inevitable to most I assume, so that should come as no surprise. Should have stayed a concept car.
