Grand Wagoneer wishing they had numbers like that
Comment on Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal - The Verge

Legit, I can’t imagine anybody wanting to buy this thing for half that price.

Oof… I saw one in person the other day and was shocked at how ugly it is. I don’t get people.

It’s really is not bad, considering it’s a completely new design and manufacturing process that is using all new custom tooling and assembly lines. No other manufacturer in the world is building cars like the Cybertruck is being built.
Doesn’t make the quality any better or even excusable though…

So glad no one else is making a vehicle like that. Oh, you mean different techniques, not ugly as fuck and designed by a preteen who loves minecraft?

I was viewing it from a manufacturing perspective, since that is my job and training- it is legitimately pretty interesting how theyve manufactured it. Its still a shit looking truck and I wouldn’t ever buy a Tesla out of principle anyway.

I didn’t take it that way. From what I’ve heard, it’s a very challenging process, and I’m not sure it’s worth it for this use case. It also sucks that it’s so damned ugly. And there’s all the good will he burned, ki d of sad.
