It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.

whines about reductionist rhetoric, uses insanely reductionist example
eager downvote
can’t get over how fucked up his hand is
they also might be mediocre, or much worse. Given Tesla’s record of bad/rushed design and manufacturing processes (see: bad panel alignment; bad chassis engineering; janky bandaid fixes like random hardware store supplies making it into their cars; failed and costly manufacturing automation mistakes; etc.),
And Musk’s record of using the same trick of dangling a new gimmick to fix cash flow over and over (make wild new promise to create hype, while not delivering on the old ones, see: hyperloop, full self-driving feature, etc)
And how he’s been steadily going off the deep end for years (gestures generally)
I don’t really have hope that this isn’t the ludicrous gimmick it stinks of.
they were just trying to find the upper block limit after hitting bedrock
On the entire cybertruck
There’s aesthetic differences stemming from simple original taste, then there’s differences stemming from being on the challenged side of the bell curve. Like smearing poop on a wall and trying to call it art.
Nice straw-man example at the end, there.
I really can’t fathom anyone seriously thinking this is good aesthetically without assuming they have a serious bias affecting their judgement in form of payment, cognitive deficiency, misplaced Musk sympathy, or otherwise.
Other auto makers are doing just fine with their designs overall, we don’t need to include children’s scribbles of a car when talking about where car designs should be headed.
2wd conversion + chop off that center hump + new seats + lots of time, nvm
It’s not being engineered from the ground-up; these are all common modifications in the car guy world. The only semi-complex part will be getting the suspension custom-valved if there’s not something already available on the market for daily driving, and even that is fairly doable.
Adapting comfortable seats is a straightforward process; adding noise dampening and carpet is a straightforward process (good noise dampening material can turn almost any rattle box into something really close to if not equal to a Lexus in terms of noise). Exhausts are not voodoo, resonators and mufflers are available for virtually any conceivable application… etc
What I would wish them good luck with is not running out of steam to get it to where they want it.
Because he’s racing and pacing and fuming on X
He’s fighting and biting and really bad at sex
He’s going the distance, he’s smoking some weed
His pillow wife (pillow-wife) is all he neeeeds
…
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulb, no spine
He’s haunted by decisions he cannot untwine
Bank-account shaking earthquakes of APRs and remorse
Assail him, impale him with cybertruck force
…
In his mind he’s still driving, still dunking on libs
She’s hoping in time that her memories will fade
'Cause he’s wasting his paycheck on onlyfans whores
He’s fighting, promoting, defending Musk of course
Pointing, and laughing and cringing inside
The green light flashes, the jig is up
Buyers. Remorse. A divorce creeping up.
That’s what our impulses tell us to do, but you’re not obligated to listen to every impulse. The complexity of life as we experience it affords us the luxury of choice.
i wish i was on the fios instead
