Legitimately curious who designed the cybertruck's front end. It's... so bad, even compared to other Tesla models. I used to work with a ton of product managers and designers that jumped ship from our auto company to Tesla back in the day, during their first or second recruiting round, so just absolute lmfao. I also absolutely hate the generations of cars those designers in question worked on, but that's neither here nor there.

the cybertruck is elon's little plaything to keep him distracted from the other stuff - it's not actually meant to go wide release.

same thing with his water tower rocket thing it's not actually a thing.

That must be why the truckbed is all shrunken and there are weird diagonal panels making the truck much less useful for hauling and much better at having big metal sheets that are gonna get scratched to gently caress

Because of the brilliant billionaire boy genius

The weird bedwall shape and tonneau cover have some pretty big aerodynamic advantages, but completely destroy the utility of the truck, it's also a unit body, so you can't swap on anything more utilitous. So it's a mall crawler, pretty prefect for the US market tbf.

Pulling a bunch of cinder blocks out of the bed of the cybertruck looks like it might genuinely cause injury. I can't immediately tell how I'd do it from looking at the pictures.

By hiring someone to do it in a ‘99 GMC Sierra or something, you wouldn’t sully a cybertruck with “work”

Stainless steel is just steel with nickel/chromium/molybendium in it. None of those mix uniformly throughout the steel, so v. frequently "stainless" steel will get spots of rust where the nickel didn't mix correctly (boat people could write a novel about that)

Also you have to do every bit of steel. IIRC Delorean electroplated the stainless steel interior, but they certaintly did not apply any rust protection to the underbody or frame

the entire car is non-standard if it's anything like any other Tesla, it's going to take years to design commercial lift kits for them

that's why most tesla mods outside bumpers are garage poo poo

They're using 301 stainless steel, which has higher tensile strength but lower corrosion resistance compared to 304 and 316. The Delorean has 304. I'm curious how it'll do during an actual winter
