No revelations here, just continued Cybertruck woes.

He wants sub-micron level accuracy? On the panels on a truck? Are you shitting me?

Thermal expansion and contraction will make the panels expand and contract more than that between hot sunny days vs cool rainy days.

Did it ever cross his mind that flat panels are by their very nature going to flex a little? And it looks absolutely hideous anyways. Dumbass.

  1. There is no amount of lipstick that will make this pig look good.
  2. This pig is about to become very expensive. Low cost and high precision are incompatible. I do not think that LEGO is cheap for what amounts to a few grams of plastic.
  3. Electric cars have become more and more successful partly because the crappy futuristic designs are going away (but also cost and availability of used electric cars that are cheaper). Most people just wanted a car that has an electric motor. If every car that exists today were electric, the futuristic ones would not role the marketplace. Even the model s, 3, y and x are designed to look like normal cars. Companies used to just design cars they thought looked nice. For a time they had been designing electric looking cars on purpose. Designs that they clearly only made to look different. Most were ugly as sin . Just make an ordinary but nice looking electric truck ffs.

Oh it’s quality that’s the problem, and not the fact that the truck looks absolutely fucking stupid? Got it. Musk being musk.

They can both be a problem, but Musky thinks the truck looks neat. He just wishes the dumb piece of shit wasn’t also built like a piece of shit.

I hope he keeps wasting money like this until he’s bankrupt and irrelevant.

The tragedy is that Tesla could probably be using these resources on useful innovations that would help electric vehicle adoption and reduce their environmental impact rather than making this Road Warrior reject.
