Another discussion had me looking up if there were any EV chargers in the area.

There's four, and they're all in flood zone 1.

However, there's not a lot of Teslas; mostly just that one that was always parked at the fireworks tent.

The Taliban unveils its SUPERCAR (powered by a Toyota Corolla engine): Afghanistan's rulers declare the vehicle 'an honour' for the nation
An aggressive and sleek-looking Mada 9 prototype first hit the road in December
Engineers from technical institute and company ENTOP spent 5 years building it
It's powered by a Toyota engine but engineers want to use an electric powertrain

An image of the prototype posted on social media by manufacturer ENTOP showed the car's sleek and aggressive styling


The car set off for a short test drive at its unveiling in late December, surrounded by engineers and eager onlookers


Taliban's Higher Education minister Abdul Baqi Haqqani (pictured) gave an impassioned speech at the car's unveiling at ENTOP headquarters and said the regime was committed to providing 'religious and modern sciences for its people'

That looks like an extremely low roof and there doesn't appear to be any actual seatbelt to actually connect.

e: yeah there's no mount point of the frame for the seat belt, are they lap belts ?!?

gently caress me I think you are right. This just gets more and more terrifying - no airbags and just a lap belt? Good luck surviving a crash inside one of those shitboxes. And if you do, good luck with the insane whiplash injury

To be fair, those things are prototypes. Tesla themselves probably doesn't even know how this thing actually gonna look when it gets released...checks notes this year? Yeah right...


Edit: Also, wasn't the "it won't have an airbag!!!" Thing just one weird website that claimed it without any actual sources?

Yeah, as much as people love speculating that Tesla will find some loophole to avoid all crash regulations, this is almost certainly a function of the fact that the Cybertruck has at no point been near production ready. Just like it didn't have rearview mirrors until 3 years into development.

Look at the door... just a flat surface with a bent rod... And some crooked thing? A handle? A screen? no storage, no arm rest, no padding.

I still maintain that the whole thing looks like a teen's first blender project. All angles and flat surfaces.

Ugh, now that you say that, it looks like an easy design for 3D CAD modeling. It's what I would do to simplify my life. From hearing stories about him firing everyone but engineers, it make sense to me that is what would end up being used for the final design!

Apparently Carvana built an 8-story car vending machine and is probably going to go bankrupt before they put anything there.

The whole no airbag was from Tesla itself. It's heavy enough that it gets into medium truck class

Calling it a vending machine just makes me imagine a car getting stuck so they have to ram the side of the building with a truck to dislodge it.

Properly it's a Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor and is actually crazy dangerous for humans to interact with! And because it's integral to the structure nobody is going to be able to use it for anything. The design also makes it very expensive to maintain.

I feel like there's a metaphor for Carvana generally in there somewhere.

The i3 frunk not being weather proof, or sealed at all, was a very bizarre and dumb design decision [from a company making increasingly dumb design decisions].

Yeah that was really weird. I never had issues with water building up in my frunk but it spent most of it's time parked in a garage. The velcro panels surrounding the frunk were kind of neat. The hood barely seals at all so the whole underhood area ends up full of leaves and covered in junk.
