100% unnecessary and probably only done because Elon stumbled into the design room in a ketamine fit one day and demanded they come up with something that could be called 'airbending' like in the animes so he could post about it on Twitter for the memes.

except musk has never said anything about Avatar:TLAB so he's probably never seen it or his weirdly selective group of muskrats have never mentioned it to him.

remember musk is fake nerd that only mentions the most surface shallowest REFERENCE.

I went to school with this guy and have a friend who was great friends with him. He told me that guy once reached his bare arm into a clogged toilet at their fraternity to unclog it. Let that sink in.

Some fun bits I've picked up from YouTube reviews lol

-It ships with sideview mirrors but they are completely removable lol

-The tires are custom lol

-The wheel faces that you see are plastic covers lol

-The corners of the sheet metal are razor sharp lol

-Every truck is slightly different in terms of panel gaps because consistently bending stainless steel is hard lol

-With the bed cover closed you have absolutely no rear facing visibility lol

freedom of speech means that you can say whatever you want without any consequences. stopping ad money is a consequence, and is therefore anti free speech

Not a Dickman, just a shape
i did really well in high school physics, and there were two things i took away from it, that, even with normal cars, cause me to have a severe degree of reverence for the capacity of a car to inflict damage on the world around it

the first being momentum, being simply velocity times mass

simple , but inescapable and how quickly that ramps up, even being a linear relationship

the second being that km/h is roughly 4x the meters per second ie, 100 km/h is ~ 25 meters per second

even on a small car its an incredible amount of energy to trust the common man with, but w/e that is the world we live in. its just a good thing to keep in mind when discussing motor vehicles

that 3.5-4.5 tonne vehicles that accelerate to 100kmh in sub 3 seconds is being lauded is loving insanity, like loving car as fetish object psychotic. It is a deliberate choice that is dangerous to literally everyone within a 100m radius of a loving cybertruck

there's also Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * speed^2.

so small changes in speed have major changes.

Ironically it’s regular trucks that have the ridiculous over-engineered-sounding spare tire mount where you lower it from the bottom of the truck on a little hoist with a long handle you assemble out of pieces

It also dawned on me that the range extender (heavy as gently caress giant battery box right up against the cab in the already tiny bed) would lead to some hilarious crash tests.

Tesla needed such heavy-duty tires that we had to create a new process for hardening rubber via the treatment of natural rubber with sulfur. I decided to name this process Vulcanization Ferenginization, named after my favorite race from Star Trek. This proves that I'm not anti-Semitic.

No, I said I *liked* the Jew race, that's not anti-Semitic.

I had to drill new holes to mount the tire because it was only meant to have one or the other. Anyway I'm fairly certain I've punctured the battery and it now makes an angry hissing noise. Angrier than the usual hissing noise.

But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.
