> And, I don't think comparing the two is logical, for price (Da Vinci is $2,000,000)

What's the over-under on the $35K CyberTruck ever making it to market, instead of vague handwaving "sometime towards the end of 2025, maybe"?

You must have missed the memo that the $35k Cybertruck is now the $60,990 Cybertruck (this is the standard-range, available in 2025 model). You will never be able to buy one new from Tesla for anywhere close to $35k, and the fact that they announced the price as $35k _and took customer money_ based on that should, IMHO, result in financial penalties and jail time for the executives involved.

I'm sorry, what does the CyberTruck have to do with the conversation, or their fairly obvious progression in actuation, or progression in making a nice humanoid platform for machine learning use, or Da Vinci?

It means the gap between what Musk promises will be available, and the cost thereof, versus the reality of what is available, when, and for how much, is "rather sizable" at times.

I'm still not sure how Da Vinci relates, or the CyberTruck.

But, sure, I don't really pay attention to timelines, since I don't have it on pre-order. They're making great progress. They will throw ML/AI at it, and it will be interesting to see what comes out. For people that enjoy tech, this is neat.
