Not sure but material property stay the same. The Delorean show how difficult is it to maintain a “SS car” in good condition. What make the beauty of (regular) steel panel is if you press on it, it will come back to the same position without marking as it is quite flexible (ok don’t jump on the hood either).…

Especially bare exposed SS panels.

FLAT stainless steel panels at that. It goes from bad to worse.

You are joking right? I design and install commercial kitchens. S/S dents are absolutely heinously easy to see and hard to fix. This finish will be the absolute spawn of Satan to maintain.

They’re doubling down on nationalism because they are likely embarrassed and know that 97% of the world is not on the side of their home country.

Given Tesla’s bad reputation for build quality issues and the general doubt around whether or not this truck will go into production, why on earth would they show it like this? This was their chance to help turn the conversation, and instead they doubled down by showing something that looks as well-assembled as a…

Sounds like someone ordered one and is now facing the inconvenient truths of their purchase.

You’re going to have a hard time dealing with real issues if you’re this reluctant to believe that anyone would ever do anything bad...

It literally was an intentional Nazi salute dumbass.

I mean it is a prototype so let’s be fair. However, anybody who had some Stainless Steel appliances in their kitchen can attest of how much of a nightmare this is going to be to keep in clean, not dented (SS has very little tolerance to marking)....etc I worked for Peugeot/Citroen back 20 years ago studying aluminum…

This is not good! I don’t care how great Tesla is for breaking the mold and bringing EV’s to the masses. When your company is already notorious for panel gaps, you just don’t put shit like this out on display.

Tesla, cool tech, but shit execution. Seems crazy, but I wish Tesla was more like Apple. Sure, it’s a premium product that costs more than the “equivalent”, but there is no argument that despite its pitfalls, a Macbook Pro is a near perfect execution of a laptop computer. That’s why it’s worth the expense to a lot of…

Watch the video, I didn’t think it was bad in the screen shot, but the video seems pretty obvious he was doing it then laughing after.

Seriously?!?

What a shitty, insincere, scripted and poorly read/recorded apology. Makes Mazepin look like Shakespeare. Twat (and his team) was already skirting the ban on Russian athletes so you’d think he’d be (even at 15) a bit smarter instead of smartassed.

It would be a shame if that was the end of his career at 15.

I always wondered what Elon thought about this.

They’re pretty early in the project still, but Rich Rebuilds is making a bread truck frame and engine under a Tesla Model 3 so use as a tow rig.

Anyone that uses the phrase “cancel culture” in description of themselves or something they support is a moron and a snowflake.

“Russian wanker, go fuck yourself”
