  1. Elon identified that the niche of high income early adopters was big enough to pursue. As Henry Ford said it himself: had he done a market study, the consumer would have asked for a faster, more mpg, lower emission ICE (a horse drawn carriage) instead of a model 3 ( model T) ALSO, to this day, Elon wishes he could have called his car lineup "TESLA" . But since "model T" was taken, he had to go "S3XY". 😁

  2. 9:00 here is the gist of it: the cybertruk was just trolling. Elon got Ford to develop a pickup for him. For free. Imagine what would have taken to convince the board of Ford to launch an electric pickup twelve years ago? How many power points, market studies, focus groups? OR ...you troll the entire industry with a pick up made of stainless steel (cough, delorean) and designed by a four year old with triangle rulers. The other vehicles are (slightly) less trolling, but have also kickstarted change. You may feel offended, but you still got punked. 😁 At this time, I am sure that somewhere there is an easter egg that rick-rolls the owner.
