Let’s talk more about that RSQ8. It’s like the RS6 Avant mechanically but twice the price, right? At least we are moving from traditional two or three box design to one, two, or three triangle design.

Especially after Elon saying the truck would be able to carry another truck in its bed (now clearly referring to payload) but moreover that he said it'd be a scaled down version of the Semi. A modern Kei cargo electric mini truck like this would own. I hate trucks and think they are dumb, but I like CYBERTRUCK thing for its weirdness and maybe that's the point? A truck for people who hate trucks.

Why would a pickup truck even need unbreakable glass? Do people who haul firewood once a year typically get shot at or accidentally chuck a log at the cab while loading up? I mean, obviously Bernie is gonna be president so we can begin true class warfare and all rich people will get shot at while driving to whole foods, but why introduce it with this model specifically?

That was way more what I was expecting. Easier turning and visibility since they wouldn’t have to waste space on a bonnet. Oh well!

You don’t use it to haul hay or work your trade, you use it to outrun clones of your family force-grown by Alphabet Corporation to study your browsing habits, stolen by your eBay-citizen neighbours and turned against you through VR brainwashing so that they can try and steal your wifi. The bed is for two things: the cyberbike and stolen uranium. All cars are about freedom, but this one is about the kind of freedom you’ll need when it actually comes out

Eh I like it. It's different. It also doesn't appear to be brodozer sized which is nice. I bet two things happen. The design is smoothed out a little for production and buyers slowly warm to it. But I'm not a truck buyer anytime soon. Maybe one day when we get a camper. E: the name is dreadful though

You're on the mark with the vanity thing. Folks who need trucks for their traditionally intended purpose, if they buy electric, will pick up whatever commercial grade thing GM or Ford is selling or they'll go with Rivian and their whole "modular pickup/delivery van architecture.

Just (supposedly) more resistant to impacts. Could be kind of useful if a branch falls on it while camping or something bumps it at a construction site for example. Of course that's assuming it actually works

So really it sounds like it's bulletproof (somewhat) accidentally due to what materials they were going to use anyway. Which is fine.

It’s probably technically bulletproof if you’re shooting .22 short rifle at it out of a pistol.

What Tesla revealed last night is clearly a traditional (if incredibly poorly executed) concept car, not a production-ready design. Why are people taking seriously any of the other made-up crap they said about it?

Mr. Apollo posted:Musk said it’s “literally bulletproof”. That body is either extra thick and therefore wasted weight or it's not bulletproof against even 9mm rounds. Or it's not stainless steel. Musk hasn't invented some new heat treat for steel that makes a thin car body panel of it able to stop bullets. Edit: he does say alloy so maybe? Again though if he had developed this alloy he could sell it to the DOD for enough to actually justify TSLA's share price.

It'll also run into the same problem Deloreans did where any kind of dent is pretty much impossible to hide short of either painting the whole car or replacing the entire panel

This is also a problem with Tesla already where repairs and bodywork are so punishingly expensive that you're afraid to drive it around
