As a fellow lib, there’s nothing that makes me feel more “owned” than a complete stranger destroying his own property in a fit of pique over some bunch of strangers trying to make sure some other bunch of strangers are being treated fairly.

I’m not sure how I’m going to sleep tonight knowing I was owned so much.

As a lib, I feel so owned after seeing this video.

Only if the prices are truly gouging and not simply at that rate to cover costs and account for lack of sales volume.

I’m a skeptic that it was actually C4. Tannerite seems more likely.

The F-150 that it was towing was experiencing the exact same forces on the other end of the chain, and was completely unscathed. Any body-on-frame pickup truck from the last 30 years would have been fine.

It’s frankly amazing that they managed to build a truck door that can survive a charge of C4 but breaks if you slam it too hard.

You can’t reach into the bed from the side. The tailgate doesn’t close automatically. The windshield is absurdly flat and large so the big windshield wiper fails. The pedals fall off until you bolt them back on. The unpainted stainless is so hard to clean that half of buyers are wrapping the vehicle. The door handles…

That’s probably because Elon had more personal input with the Cybertruck than  any of Tesla’s other products.

None of the features you mentioned (except for maybe the voltage) are unique in any way and are technologies that have been around for a decade or more. The steer-by-wire is not the first, but is apparently the first without a mechanical fail-safe. So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and…

1.5, maybe 2 psi.

Has Polestar lines. 

It looks a hell of a lot better than the Mach-E, so that’s a start.

I second the book as being great. Get it from the library though, the author has shown himself to be an absolute nutjob, no reason to give them any money.

You beat me to it. That first season of The Terror is superb, and I recommend it all the time (don’t bother with the second season). 

It seems like they actually did pretty well with the hardware. It was the software that was their downfall. Given their cash burn, they couldn’t afford to wait to ship cars until the software was fixed. But this only delayed the reckoning because it caused all of the initial reviews to be terrible. Now, despite one…
