Didn't they come out after he went publicly crazy?

Many people consider him calling that cave explorer a pedo guy to be the start of him going publicly crazy, which happened in June 2018 (ymmv depending on how much or how little you paid attention). The Cybertruck design was revealed and reservations started being taken in November 2019.

Yeah that was the moment the facade cracked imo, or more likely that was the day after he did a butt load of ketamine and fired everyone including his pr team

Somewhere between the hyperloop and boring company were my first red flags. I also had enough experience with telematics and self driving technology to know he was full of shit about the full self driving claims. But I just thought he was a moron from those, not a dangerous moron.

Also I knew an engineer who’d already left Tesla because of the work environment, but it wasn’t clear if it was directly Elno’s fault.

You guys are underestimating how much an average Joe doesn’t pay attention to things that are pretty public. The fact of the matter is that even though he was going crazy, that was not being covered on network news much.

I think the initial down payment phase was after he bought Twitter but before the recent election stuff. The delivery was certainly after he went full crazy, so it was a question of losing I think a $5k down payment
