> Common sense product could be something smaller than Model 3 for Europe and this car would eat Chinese for lunch.

Yeah, that would be the Model 2, which Musk cancelled, then denied he cancelled, then has made no effort to review whatsoever so it exists in a limbo state of zero people working on it but it not being officially cancelled. Either way, it didn't come out in 2025 as planned.

For a normal company, this would be disastrous. For a meme stock, this makes total sense since anyone claiming the Model 2 is dead can be shouted at by fans saying Musk himself disputed it was dead.

The completed original line up was

S 3 X Y

The C didn’t fit that, nor would a 2. Unless he’s aiming for a lineup of products that has you seeing someone next Tuesday.

    And he couldn't get E (the original intended name) because Ford had it trademarked.

    Why? I think a lineup with a 2 could have been S3XY 2!

    CyberS3XY was what I always figured he was going for.

    Lol I didn't even connect the dots together until this comment. For a dickhead rich memelord this one is at least somewhat clever.
