people do wrap their trucks in camo, it's stupid and pointless but it is a thing that predates tesla. of course the venn diagram of people who do that and tesla fanboys is probably two completely separate circles located in different states, but there's some kind of marketing logic to doing this.

I think it’s to prevent people from getting 100% clear photographs of the body work. Normally you’d use it on a thing no one’s seen before. It also probably helps obscure build quality too though.

the goal of this is normally to hide a car you don’t want your competitors to find and try to study and copy you’re developing in secret and none of this applies here

Even with the stupid camo paint decal thing you can still see the driver side door has a gap that’s huge at the top and gets smaller towards to bottom showing the car doesn’t fit together right :lol:

Do you need to be a software engineer, communist or not, to manually place a traffic cone on the hood of a car?

the camo is literally just them doing what real car companies do because they think they’re a real car company, they aren’t trying to make it stealthy or tacticool it’s stupid as gently caress for its own very special reason

Like normally the stealth camo is the first time the public will actually see the car

I think they may be using it in this case because stainless is a dirt and fingerprint magnet
