Well, I can't share much.

The StarShip has Launched

We are in downtown Atlanta inside of the Georgia World Congress at the TMC show with the StarShip. We had no time for testing or shakedown runs before this show, so we had an 1000 mile initial run.

I have no idea what the StarShip 0-60 time will be. I'm only interested in a 0-60 time when I'm drag racing. 0-60 has nothing to do with trucking, no matter what Elon Musk thinks or says. A balls-out...

Thanks, but that's not necessary. We'll be at all of the shows next year and all of the carriers will see it. And by virtue of my build customer, we'll have extensive worldwide press and exposure.
