I can definitely get wanting a car that doesn’t dent. However, “bulletproof” doesn’t mean “won’t dent, scratch, or rust”. Stainless steel is far less vulnerable to rust, so I’ll grant you that (although do note it requires proper care — it won’t rust as fast as regular automotive steel, but abuse a stainless steel kit

Most of a photo of A truck exists. Nothing on sale, no confirmed specs, nothing in serial production. They are building something that looks like the truck you describe and that’s literally all we know.

I think its great that you love it. I think its an albatros abortion. Here are a few problems with the features you mention though.

Aside from the design, which I think everyone will admit is polarizing, I think there are a few things that will make the Cybertruck far less successful than Tesla predicted. First, there is a lot more negativity around Musk that has undoubtedly driven away at least some of the potential customers. Granted, this is a

What is wrong with people who pay for Twitter?

I know two people who put money down on the Cybertruck four years ago, and they like the truck for two completely different reasons:

Counterpoint, Tesla really wants you to see it.

What is wrong with you that you would want this vehicle? 

Pretty much. Make 15-20 of them to get the kinks iron out of the line. Drive the heck out of them in the TX heat and see how they survive etc etc. Until you start seeing in them in the grubby hands of Journalists for first rides I would not be doing anything more than looking for what the final design cues are.

We have the technology!

The Onion is always right.

Nah. Sex is something holy and sacred, to be experienced only in private. Violence and murder are EXCITING, and should be enjoyed with friends.

So...

It does consistently baffle me that you can show people hearts ripped out of their chests to 13 year olds, but you have to be 17 to see boobs (unless you have an internet connection).

Semi-related story: My mother has always had a pathological fear of blimps. It actually turned her against the entire concept of therapy when, as a young woman, a psychologist tried to suggest that it had something to do with a generalized fear of penises likely stemming from childhood trauma. She rejected that

Obviously the former. I think its common knowledge that Dong Fight 3D: Revenge of the Flaccid has the latter honor.

The MPAA is really cracking down on “mild comic mischief” these days.

And the anti-Oppenheimer movie, Barbie, also features copious nudity of its female and male leads, but since they’re Barbie and Ken that didn’t require an R rating.
