Musk could unveil the most dazzling technology, but would anyone believe he could actually deliver? It's a self-inflicted credibility issue.

The problem is that it doesn't make sense. A bus with no windows, no steering wheel and no ground clearance, so a tram. A new car with full self driving ..except why would it need to be new when he's been promising FSD for various tesla cars for years.

edit: sorry I just checked, it does appear to have see through windows at this timestamp https://youtu.be/-JOas3fcXU0?t=896

It's absolutely not a tram; it's a large passenger van (not big enough to be called a bus). Trams run on rails.

yes and this would need to have a railsystem too if it ever wants to drive into a parking lot that has a speedbump on it, like for example the parking lot of my apartment complex

This is clearly the prototype. The final production model (if it ever happens) will have more ground clearance, for obvious reasons of practicality.

I remember being skeptical that anyone would buy a Cybertruck. It was delayed quite a bit, but sure enough I now see them on the road.

They still haven't released everything they promised for the Cybertruck, and the Roadster 2 is still MIA. I suspect it'll all come to fruition, but investors tire of new promises when old ones take such a long time to ship.

Cybertruck is the perfect example of over promised / under delivered. The Cybertruck is the modern day Delorean, with even worse build-quality issues.

I don’t know where you get your information from but it seems to be having some bias. Many owners are very happy with the car, and report few build quality issues.

Where do you get your information? You're both anecdotal but you accuse the parent of having bias and refute it, yet provide no evidence/link/etc.

There was a recall of the entire first production run because the accelerator pedal would slip off and jam the pedal down.
