There's many people in the world right now with the name "George Soros", but republicans are not referring to any of them.

If they are always up you'd notice when you sit down. more than once I've sat down and looked and passanger mirror full of snow or iced over. loving hate scraping side mirrors oh good I applied enough pressure scraping to move the mirror so now I have to adjust it again.

Like assuming they are putting them in roughly the same location which is what I thought the idea was? I still don't see how this is an improvement over a physical mirror but the snow issue exists with physical ones already.

You're forgetting that this is Tesla so they'll be hidden 3 sub menus deep and you'll only be able to see one at a time

Oh I thought we were talking about in general not just in a Tesla. Elon's implementation is going to be horrible but someone else could do it fine.

the one consistent thing about tesla design decisions seems to be 'look everyone, it's different! we're so different! our wheel is a rectangle haha!!! the cybertruck looks DIFFERENT than other trucks!!!!". that is the extent of their creativity

I assumed Elon nixxed side-mirrors purely because they'd mess with the clean blocky aesthetic of his oversized toy truck.

Spare batteries are pretty key.
Mirrors are really bad for aerodynamics, which is king when it comes to highway efficiency, all the European brands have at least experimened with cameras. Not that it matters for the cybertruck since it's a giant pile of dogshit already.


Edit: requiring actual mirrors instead of cameras is one of the few places where North American automotive design regulations are superior to European

I recall reading something in R&T recently about Mercedes Benz aerodynamicists talking about how it does impact efficiency however the energy required to power cameras instead basically makes it a wash

quote:

“When looking at every detail, we obviously talked about using cameras instead of side mirrors. In the end, it was a trade-off between drag and energy efficiency. As mirror cameras require dedicated screens that consume energy, the aero-optimized mirrors won. To reduce the frontal area, we shaped a double mirror base.” Typically, side mirrors add between two and eight percent to the overall drag of a design. The EQXX’s are below two percent.

:lol: if you were in the back seat and mobility impaired, you would've suffered a very gruesome death. :byoscience: (IIRC thats the model without an actual mechanical back door handle?)

tbh I rode in a Tesla for the very first time in an Uber, and I don't get why people think they're luxurious. Its an uber so ofc it gets beat up, but the whole thing had this faux-luxury/cheapness to it. Like they put cement weights in the doors to make it feel more solid.

I agree with those who think that he not only was always an absolute shithead, but he definitely seems to be getting brain-poisoned over time. Like, not only am I seeing him happily go on on book bans, transphobia, the anti-semitic nonsense, the bullshit with race and crime/media/etc., that all now seems pretty bog-standard across the right wing, but he now seems to be eagerly latching on to other, somewhat more obscure things as well. For example, he's been posting here and there about farmers in the Netherlands, and I had absolutely no idea what the hell he was going on about until I came across this article that helped explain things.

Ugh, it sucks that he's not only giving what other assholes feel is a veneer of extra legitimacy to their awful beliefs, but he's definitely personally giving it all wider reach.

I read Devolution by Max Brook a while back and tweets like this remind me that part of the climax involves a techbro douche and his goop wife being violently ripped apart by sasquatches because they make a run for his Tesla and they can't get the handleless doors open in time to get in the car because Teslas are piles of poo poo.
