  Isn’t the metal body going to expand depending on the temperature? This is so unhinged.

  Truck is machine dedicated for transportation of goods. Not art from museum.

  I hate Elon as much as the next guy, but I have to admit that that car looks pretty good and aesthetic. Damn.

    It looks like something from the PS1

      Agreed! Or maybe a 90’s Hot Wheels toy… Maybe that was the point though 🤔

      It looks like what people in the 80s thought the 2000s would look like

      This person might be one of the characters from Goldeneye 007 or the original Lara Croft. Or maybe this version of Solid Snake. The Cybertruck would be one of the sexiest things ever in those kinds of worlds.

    Can I ask a question that may sound snarky and snobby over internet text, but I’m genuinely and non-judgmentally curious about?

    Where did this use of “aesthetic” come from? From context it appears to mean something different in your sentence (good “look” or style that is on trend and I like) than I understood it to mean (“look” or style referring to an encompassing cohesion instead of a qualitative assessment).

    This language enthusiast is curious. Language changes and that’s cool, but this seems to confuse the term rather than disambiguate. Can you explain what you mean by it, and do you remember where you learned to use the word that way? Is it a regionalism?

    He’s overcompensating after the shit tolerances of the fist Model S units.

  A lemmy comment section has more engineering skill than a $1T automaker, apparently.

    $1T means nothing if the CEO has mush for a brain lol

    Name one other auto industry CEO that makes engineering demands of this nature and lambasts employees on social media for not meeting them.

    Without relying on Google etc. you probably couldn’t even name the CEO of Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc. And I seriously doubt they are making technical decisions for their cars. They rely on knowledgeable managers whose teams have decades of technical experience, and likely defer to those experts when they say something isn’t feasible.

    Musk is acting like Homer Simpson when given the chance to design his own car. Screw the experts! He wants what he demands and won’t take “no” for an answer, no matter how bad his decisions are.

      Hes been doing this since the first roadster, its the way Tesla operates. You can not argue with the success up to this point.

    I don’t have to be in the space program to know that Pluto is pretty far away and I don’t have to be a mechanical engineer to know the implementing exacting tolerances like this both in house and from external suppliers is going to drive costs through the roof just so his truck can look like a 90s wireframe model driving a literal information superhighway.

    Musk isn’t an auto maker. He’s an idiot who owns a company.

  LOL. At the same price as the Lightning, there’s no way this could compete with Ford. I thought the point of the sharp angles was to make the truck super cheap. If it was $25k, I’d consider getting it not caring about what it looked like (as long as it was warrantied for mechanical failures). Just for a cheap new truck to haul shit and not worry about getting beat up.

  Six sigmas of deviation. Stuff is so figured out by u dustrial engineers. What a clueless idiot.
