Yeah but you could hide in the massive tunnel network created by his The Boring Company to hide from the debris!

You see, this is all one big ploy for Munsk's taking over of the world.

Musk's end goal is to drive his personal car down his personal tunnel highway on his personal planet (Mars).

His personal 2007 Tesla Roadster is currently sitting atop a Falcon Heavy awaiting launch to an orbit that is of Mars distance from Earth.

Sorry to go off topic - it' s a fun time to be a space enthusiast :cheers:

Musk is long on promises but short on delivery except more money into his own pocket that is.

There are 25394 members of Mustang6g listed. If we each chipped in $3,544 we could buy a Falcon Heavy off Musk and launch a Bullitt into outer space.

Instead of into space how about launch it into my garage

I'd rather us crowd fund a mission to shoot Blaqhole, Hotlap, drew.peacock and Chaddicus into the sun.

I know '21MY/S550 Refresh#2 information is thin on the ground, but lets try and keep this on topic

So are we still on track for a May 2020 SOP?

Good question. Hopefully some of our insiders will be able to give us some indication soon?

As someone said earlier (I can’t recall who was t or either it was on this forum or not) it looks like the S650 will not be “Cancelled” per se. According to what that guy said the S650 will not be nothing but a “Heavy Modified S550” (like the SN95 was to the Fox4) instead of “clean sheet” and it was pushed to 2022MY instead of 2021MY..... so, SOP should be extended an additional year.

NOTE: I don’t know how much of this is true, I just found it interesting and it made sense FOR ME in my head. If someone can track or remember who was the one that covered that info it would be great, maybe it was only speculation or inside info.

FOX-4 was the SN-95 Mustang platform. FOX-4 was a modified Fox platform from the Foxbody generation.

You're right... I forgot to take my coffee today haha.

With that being said..... the S650 should be to the S550 what the Fox4 was to the Fox Platform.

That completely depends on the project and how much of it is under his control vs from suppliers.

Energy storage, SpaceX and other non-Tesla related projects are typically on time or early. Most Tesla delays end up being supplier related.

As far as I know S650 is on still MY21 or MY22 not too sure. BEV and CD6 on schedule. Thinks could change but I'm pretty sure about it. The frustrating part is the lack of communication. Ford has been mum on product and more about the future of
cities and mobility. It will all be explained this year and next. All these programs started in 2015. Most of the fruits will not be seen for 36-37 months.

God, I hate this business plan. Rather than appealing to all customers and having the most safety in one of the most variable industries, they want to put all their eggs in one basket and see what happens. Has Hackett never heard the mantra “you need to spend money to make money”? I really don’t see this ending well for ford, and I really don’t understand if they’re looking into inter-city mobility, why they’re only interested in selling large vehicles. It’s quite counter-intuitive
