Yeah, I thought he dodged the 'Califonia is brown' framing pretty well.
I've already moved on. Building a DIY Transparent Hybrid Rocket Engine - NightHawkInLight
edit:
Well, I was making a salad and I found myself chuckling over "The Board recommends against this proposal. You have three minutes."
We'll announce the result after we show what we've been working on for years.

I'm saving up for a CyberTruck, and by saving up, I mean constantly dropping hints to my wife how all our problems would be solved by it. :P
There's probably a 15% chance I'll get one, but it's still fun to think about. |

Storing up social credit. 
Sad that we won't get the compact travel-size Eurotruck here. Maybe an El Camino/Ranchero/Rabbit/Rampage version of the $25K affordable car? I'd bet it will be stainless steel, because why not?

Batteries, factories. Tesla was production limited by battery supply during its entire life, and probably still. Even if they had them the factories were production limited; Fremont cannot be expanded further.
So it did not make sense to offer a variety of models because it would not increase sales in total.
Now that several Gigafactories are being built at once and battery production gets ramped up big time, there will be more room to expand the model range and build not one but several sizes of Cybertruck. Give it a couple of years.

"69...420"
Nah that was more of an elon joke off Twitter about battery size.

I found this to be a bit meh:
More interesting was the tabless battery which promises tremendous power density and ability to fast charge faster than ever before without more degradation than today's batteries have with slow charging.
Also other improvements in both chemistry and production process.
And structural batteries, if the promises are true, then effective pack energy density will be higher than for naked cells, something previously thought to be impossible.
