Just saw 2 Cybertruck delivered by Semi in Fremont.

Nitter

My favourite thing about these fucking shitheaps is the anisotropy of the different panels. A massive giveaway that the build quality and attention is fucking garbage.

See how the reflections on the doors travel in different directions - essentially, thats anisotropy. Brushed metal (in this case) has a direction in which it has been treated, so the reflections and light travel along that surface direction. Mismatch those and it sticks out a mile. It’s one of the first things you sort on this type of fabrication - even DeLorean had it covered in the 80’s. Paint jobs are all done in one direction to prevent this effect from appearing.

How anyone can say anything positive about this is beyond me.

Yes, It took me some time to notice why it looks like straight from scrapyard, but this is it

“you just don’t understand how decades of improvement in crumple zones and saving lives was actually a bad thing, cars should be steel tanks that don’t handle physics at all, going back at 1960s car design is true forward thinking innovation.”

Elon doesn’t understand physics of car crashes so he sure as fuck didn’t do the actual work to make rockets, he paid people to create his drawings from when he was 10.

This auto industry cope is basically also bullshit. Cars generally have gotten larger and more dangerous for anyone not in a car, or even not in a new car.

well this thing is more dangerous for anyone in the car and for anyone not in the car

yea that’s a different issue. but take the increase in pedestrian deaths and the decrease in auto deaths and it’s definitely still a net positive.

Makes sense, since he’s also the one who created it.

Doesn’t it ruin the paint? Ah wait, there is no paint, isn’t it?

The wheels are so badly mismatched to the design of the body. I guess the trucks are still in pre-/alpha
