Absolutely this. The grade of stainless steel doesn't even matter simply because of how thin all stainless steel panels have to be for consumer grade shit the first place. It WILL bend and deform, and when it does, your replacement panel will be on backorder with the Chinese supplier that fabricates it for at least 8 months.
Oh what? Your ss panels look warped? No sweetie, per our quality engineers who have reviewed the photo, this is "within tolerance of natural deformation from usage and care of the material," and we're not even replacing your panels.
>elon keeps getting called out for that ugly shit that never gets released >magically spotted in the wild with a professional photoshoot >trust me bros, it's totally not some regular electric car with the meme truck's lookalike body glued on top, it's the real thing!
Lol not at all. I personally know farmers that wouldn't even give up their old ass 3/4 farm trucks/duallies because they rely on them. They tow heavy loads with a gooseneck on a frequent basis, I have no clue how an electric truck like the Cybertruck would preform under work like that given it's claimed tow capacity. Then there's refueling, it's gonna take a while to recharge a EV truck. I don't know if many farmers across the country have close access to a recharging station since most don't have charging infrastructure in their rural locations, there's not that many here in Nebraska.
Electric motors are inherently stronger for low speed high weight such as towing, but the range is always the problem. If you just need to pull shit around on a farm it will probably be fine, but cross country you'll want a normal engine.
The new halfton silverados are the ugliest trucks I have ever seen. Even the new Tundra is better
In fact, all the new Chevy designs with the gamer LED lights are fucking horrible. Who the fuck is buying GM halftones when they have the worst reliability out of all new pickups?
My best guess is they need the big flat front as an air dam to keep air from getting under the truck for fuel mileage. Without all the weird creaces, a big flat wall of a front end like that would look very strange.
Movie prop-tier trash that will never pass safety requirements in most countries. This vehicle will never see the light of day as a production unit looking like this.
At minimum it'll likely get a rubber cap, but it would be way nicer if they could recess the hole the nut goes into so they could make the cap flush instead. Not getting my hopes up for T*sla doing something smart, though.
It won't ever meet pedestrian safety regulations it's why they keep pushing it back every few months
Can't sell it anywhere in the west, better hope Musky can sell it to China in 2050 when it shows up
Truggs have 51% of their interior volume dedicated to cargo space and are not legally passenger cars. That means pedestrian crash safety is not mandated.
"""make"""
the only success in my eyes was the S because of meme speed, and it's miles shitter than the competition
only the original Lotus Roadster was decent
and the Model 3 was the worst EV on the market
very unreliable, perhaps the worst quality control seen in decades, and inconvenient because the infrastructure at the time wasn't sufficient
it wasn't a G-Wiz level of failure, but it's complete shit and obsolete technology
Model Y is also the worst EV on the market now that real car companies make EVs
Neither are the ones in OPs pic, they are at most a millimeter thick. It is clear they are just tacked on to some structure beneath, and really shittily at that.
I realize this is a meme car that will never see production, but you would think the "brilliant" design team would have driven a real truck before putting a literal open ractangle steering wheel in this thing. Anyone who has ever used a truck for actual work knows you have to constantly use the whole steering angle to maneuver tight spots, hook up to trailers, etc. A wheel is quite literally the most convenient method of control for doing this. Proof that nobody at Tesla has actually used a truck for work a day in their lives.
people have fallen for worse scams, so I expect it to sell decently well
but I genuinely hope it's a massive failure and gets banned for whatever reason
Yes. The video is the assembly of the giga press @ IDRA factory in Italy. Its done to test and see if the press works from their end. Then they'll ship it out, re-assemble it, and calibrate it in Texas.
Not necessarily. The fuckhuge Komatsu presses at the Subaru factory in Indiana got brought in fully assembled, shipped via a combination of sea, the Ohio River, and highway travel. They were one of the first to do it that way.
Of course. How could I forget the Giga Press™
Tesla's manufacturing revolution that's a rebranded Italian machine.
>cybertruck
where is the roadster? where is the semi?
The Semi for one is mathematically impossible to release in a practical form with current battery technology. The roadster I have no doubt is as simple as supply and manufacturing bottlenecks.
Lmao did they make the giga wiper fold like a pocket knife? Thats their solution? One massive wiper that unfolds and leaves the entire left side of the wind screen uncleared.
the CYBERtruck will always remind me of this. a car designed by a dude that has no clue about anything but desperately wanted to come up with something "new".
I don't know much about the cybertruck myself, but if it's got a sturdy monocoque body, it sounds like it could have a major space saving advantage, which would free up room for batteries and increase range.
They're not quite the same, since even the outer skin on this acts as support, unlike the average normal car with a unibody where the skin just hangs there. The downside to the cybertruck then is the fact that any major body damage will be a bigger problem than it would be on most cars.
The only part of a "normal" car that isn't structural is the front fenders and bumper covers. Your pillars, rear fenders, roof, floor, transmission tunnel, and firewall are all entirely structural.
Alright but based on what I've read, in most cars the outer body panels provide no meaningful support.
>whole outer skin acts as structural support
You mean monocoque design that's been around forever? Truly a revolution. But I've owned two monocoque cars and neither of them had an issue with oil canning panels.
What cars did you own? I'm interested in searching for information about them to see what they're made out of and how they differ from the CT's construction.

Practically everything except pickup trucks have structural bodies. They don't even sit on top of a "frame" because the whole body is the frame. I've generally heard it called unibody.

It's a different thing though, they don't have their own words to describe them just for fun
back in my days in engineering classes one of the first things you learn is that sharp edges are fucking stupid and that's why nobody with a brain does it.
Stainless steel paneling is based and you can't convince me otherwise. No more worrying about the slightest ding and scrape fucking up your paintjob, sun fade and clearcoat cracking.
i'm probably getting old, because i legitimately think this car is PT Cruiser-level ugly. the retarded muhnimaleest tesla interior has always looked awful and looks even worse in contrast to the angular exterior.
i have a zoomie in one of my tg groups that loves tesla and daddy elon and the interior and le yoke which only lends strength to my theory that i'm too old to like tesla.
i love the engineering in the plaid and the 0.0002 second 0-60 and shit but all these childish decisions like the interior and yoke are such a massive turnoff.
the audis are the bottom of the barrel in EV design and tesla still looks worse
the taycan legitimately looks good, and the tesla looks MUCH worse.
fucking hell
I'm curious to see how it'll end up. The car industry is boring and everything is predictable, so it'll be interesting to see if they can somehow make this a successful product in the long term.

Do Tesla cars HAVE to stop when you walk/drive in front of them because of their programming? I know they dont have fully self driving but most cars have that auto break feature or are they just collision detection at certain speeds. But if two people wanted to sit in front and behind of a tesla can they just trap that vehicle? If it was a regular car and the person considered it life-threatening enough they could just try to drive around the person or hit them. But from what i understand a Tesla wouldnt budge. Is that true? What about if you just walked in front of one going 55. Obviously most people would swerve anyway and if it was able to be proven that walking in front was done intentionally that would elevate it to some kind of murder charge. but a high profile assassin-prone target may have some policy of just plowing down a random person trying to walk in front of their path when going high speeds. (they probably just wouldnt have a tesla then or override that auto stop/auto swerve shit. Anyway I just want to exploit telsas more. I think im going to just ignore them at 4 way stops since I no longer have to worry about the driver being an idiot. The car will stop for me.
You'd get the gun to your head or just get run over. Autopilot only stops in emergencies. Driver can still override and run you over like a bitch you are.
I can’t wait for this shit to obnoxiously reflect sunlight at other drivers. Who the hell thought that polished stainless steel was a good idea? And I swear to god if you post a delorean….
Wow so it fucking turns out that cars are made from very thin sheet steel and one of the reasons manufacturers stamp compound curves and body lines into them is to help them stay rigid, and that cladding a car in flat lengths of thin sheet results in shitty bendy panels.
Supposedly it's made out of sheet metal too thick to stamp like a regular car and the whole outer skin acts as structural support. Probably just another lie by le evil racist oppressor elon musk, I know, but that's what I've read.
>whole outer skin acts as structural support

How is this not a road hazard when light reflects off any panel?
And don't you have to engineer vehicles these days to be pedestrian safe in the event of a collision to be road legal? The thing looks like it's meant to kill anyone it strikes.
just buff it out
Every panel looks wavier than the ocean. Bet this thing will oilcan horribly under the sun.
simple. rustic. perfect
Looking good. I'd take the mirrors off.
uh..... how do you open the door?
With Tesla's new predictive AI it can tell when you want to get in the car and opens the door for you.
tesla can fuck off with this ai learning shit i should be able to just kick open the fucking door dumb cunts

wish stupid laws didn't require the fenders to match the wheels and they could lose the plastic shit
Why is this shot so carefully cut to completely exclude the bed?

it literally looks like the panels are about to fall off here.
so will this thing just kill you instantly if you get into a bad accident?
Stainless steel looks fucking terrible on appliances. This shit would be impossible to keep clean.
it's called patina

Are farmers or ranchers really going to use this piece of shit to tow their 5th wheel around?
No we are not. Who is really gonna tow 100 miles and have to wait an hour or so to recharge with livestock on.
Now throw a 12V in it with 100 gallons of diesel and now we can talk.
Fair point because I forgot about the slow recharge shit.
it's a glorified SUV with a truck bed in it for suburban housekeeping. And that's a good thing.
Lol not at all. I personally know farmers that wouldn't even give up their old ass 3/4 farm trucks/duallies because they rely on them. They tow heavy loads with a gooseneck on a frequent basis, I have no clue how an electric truck like the Cybertruck would preform under work like that given it's claimed tow capacity. Then there's refueling, it's gonna take a while to recharge a EV truck.

daddy elon is totally EPIC for the WIN. eh pumps doge and doesn't afraid of anything
How are pop ups considered dangerous for pedestrian safety when this thing will slice people clean in half?
This will never pass those requirements hence why it still doesn't exist.

Can't sell it anywhere in the west, better hope Musky can sell it to China in 2050 when it shows up
It doesn't have bits or >sharp< angles poking out. Popups catch on things, this one won't. It's still stupid but slicing is not a concern.

Apparently on autopilot they do stop for pedestrians. I know nothing beyond what I just googled though.
You'd get the gun to your head or just get run over. Autopilot only stops in emergencies. Driver can still override and run you over like a bitch you are.
I don't think the fit and finish is worthy of the price tag, but for like $35k that would be a really cool trugg.
