The Cybertruck will not have brakes as it's sturdy frame will use outside objects to stop the car.

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
remember when people thought the US had high standards for auto safety?

GVWR (which is what is being cited in this thread) includes passengers, fuel, cargo, trailer tow etc., so if it's 8000, and the Tesla has a 3000 pound load capability the vehicle may only weigh 5000 pounds.

I remember Knowledge Fight covered an even dumber somehow version of this where there was four circles, and all the slices had various other dystopias in them, and none of them really made sense. And as already mentioned, the premises of each of these mutually exclude each other.

8,501 pounds, what the gently caress, are they making the body of tungsten?

If the panels and frame are all SST, that makes sense. Tesla's cars tend to run a little heavier than the similar conventional models, but those are at least around the same volume. The cybertruck is basically a steel el camino pretending to be a F150, so...not great.

Be careful for what you wish for.

It is so sturdy that the kinetic energy of an impact will be 100% transmitted to the people inside, making sure they explode or something.

Again, you guys are comparing curb weight to GVWR and they are not at all the same thing.

The GVWR of an F250 is 10000 pounds. A Cybertruck does not have a curb weight of 8500 pounds.

The next movie better not make me shave anything :(


im going off early teens memory here, but 1984 is "We control and limit and lie about everything, with the confidence of pure truth, and only we tell the truth, everyone else is fake news" Brave New World is "a flood of pleasure and decadence to make you not care, and drown the truth in the tub hidden under bullshit that doesnt matter" and i never read 451, so cant compare, but going off my cultural osmosis "we destroy knowledge to keep our minds free from pollution."

We got both those first ones of various flavours. Twitter sure as gently caress helps that.

I don't think there is a source, it's just random posts that get amplified and then supported with the vague information available. It's basically a deduction from two things: 1, no Cybertruck seen or driven has ever been equipped with airbags and 2, vehicles in certain classes are not required to have airbags and it's quite possible that the Cybertruck's weight could put it in one of those classes.

Number 1 can pretty obviously be attributed to concept cars and prototypes not needing airbags but there's so little news about the production versions that people are just jumping to conclusions. The current known information about the Cybertruck contains nothing about airbags and if it were any other manufacturer it would be obvious that they would be on the production car, but Elon has just enough wildcard stupidity for people to wonder if this is another yoke or no side mirrors thing.

Touchscreens are such a terrible, terrible idea for car controls beyond maybe radio or a big navigation screen.

I love my screen for CarPlay, but I can't imagine it being used to control anything in the car itself. If the screen died, I'd just have to put in an order for a replacement and, in the meantime, use the voice directions in Google Maps, maybe pull over to put on a new podcast, etc and not, you know, stop driving it.

Sorry Aussies/Kiwis but Elon detected at least a couple of dozen bots somewhere around Oceania and he went into the server room and just started kicking racks with steel toed boots until he "fixed" it.

There's an artist called Chris Barker who does year-end Sgt Pepper style mosaics of the people who have died during the year... you may have seen them in other threads.

What you may not have seen is the last few updates posted in the dying hours of the year... which feature a certain little blue icon.
