Uhhh, they can literally buy or rent another OEM’s truck and take it apart to see what they did, just like the other OEM’s do. This is completely on them. 

Yes, but...no. It’s the 2020s and automotive engineering is taught in college and grad school, there’s nothing that’s hidden anymore. And Tesla, just like every other auto manufacturer, is free to purchase their competitor’s vehicles and reverse engineer everything they need for their vehicle.

Sure - but that’s why a reasonable, responsible, company will take measured steps and not market their CyberTruck as the ultimate do anything, go anywhere, conquer everything uber-vehicle. Hell - based on the ranges people are getting, their half-cooked release isn’t even good at the very thing Tesla is expected to…

I think the fact that they are blaming it on the software signals how far out of their element they are. Making a car that heavy with that long of a wheelbase good offroad isn’t impossible, but its not a problem you solve with computers (at least not by themselves).

They’re not taking them very far off-road, but I guess it’s something!

Partial car at full price.  What a strategy!

I chalk it up to a lack of experience

For the last time, Cybertrucks are not for off-roading!

The EQS weighs like 2,500 lbs more than the model 3. Plus, it probably has 22" wheels on it ultra-low profile tires. Just really bad configuration. 

I just checked the wear bars on my Model 3 yesterday. I am about due... after 51000 miles.

Porsche’s official factory parts catalog the front fenders are each around $500 while the fender liners are upwards of $200.

ND. But I’ll play devil’s advocate here just for fun.

22 grand to look like the hottest shit teen in your small rural town

ND. I’ll give ya $9,000 and a 20 piece McNugget with three missing. 

You have a 62 Impala convertible with a lot of investments in hydraulics and customization, and you leave it on the street overnight, and it gets stolen, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit partner, that’s all in the game.

Agreed. If you’re not upbadging, why is it cringe to give the car the name it had in its domestic market? If anything, the Acura -> honda example is DOWN badging. Its not meant to impress you, that’s literally the point.

The rest of the list though, yea all that needs to stop. 

Just wait for the SRT-E version in plum crazy.

They really did a terrific job with it, and kept it subdued enough to where this design will no doubt go a couple decades without ever looking dated. That’s no small feat with a modern car.

And don’t forget the third superhero who utilizes a 2nd gen Charger: Ghost Rider.

I think it looks great!
