Imagine taking this to shows, and the deflating process of explaining what it really is. The only plus being that most people would walk away before you got to the most humiliating moment, popping the hood.

Bummer! I may have a watched a couple of episodes of the original, but I never missed an episode of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. It was very positive, upbeat, and lovely. I was looking forward to more. I am really over Disney+, for all the non-Marvel/non-Star Wars cancellations, and for the crap Marvel. Cancelled. I can…

Sign me up! Let me just get that sports almanac before we go...

It would complete the transition of the crossover SUV back into it’s original form of the American station wagon and we’ll all be sucked into a black hole that brings us back to 1976. 

You realize you’re an outlier, right? I mean, there’s a few places that provide school lunches, but it’s far from the norm and Republicans actively fight against it everywhere they can.

(Republicans keep trying to reduce free/subsidized school lunches every single fucking time the Farm Bill comes up for renewal).  

But feeding one poor kid a school lunch is socialism.

My theory is that he saw a spec sheet for stainless steel surface roughness/finish (which is spec’d out in microns) and is he thinks that’s what the whole vehicle should be held to.

I wonder if the truck is supposed to have those tolerances in Death Valley in summer or in Alaska in winter - I don’t think it can have both.

My company does manufacturing at micron scale, and the costs to achieve what he’s talking about on a mass-produced vehicle would be insane. Musk is nuts.  

The baby would do a better job.

Another case of Elon trying to sound smart while being completely out of touch. Guy’s an absolute dipshit if he doesn’t understand how this simply isn’t possible at the scale.

Did a drunk baby weld that bracket on?

I want to know what kinds of cutting tools they use that can produce something with this degree of accuracy. There’s a reason that factory “blueprinted” engines involve taking a big pile of pistons and finding a set of them that all weigh in at the same amount within a tight window (despite the fact that they are all…

I test materials for high purity process orbital welding and we don’t even get to those tolerances. Every time he pretends to be an engineer or manufacturing genius I have to laugh. If this is indicative of their work and QC, they’re going to be in a world of hurt.

To put this into perspective, a regular piece of printer paper is about 90 microns thick, so Elon expects a whole damn car to be accurate to within roughly 1/10 the thickness of a piece of paper. That’s not possible on a consumer vehicle. Hell, even that recent $30,000,000 Rolls Royce wouldn’t have tolerances that…

Elon is a fucking moron.

This truck will be Teslas/Elons Spruce Goose.

Another play for the galleries, like when North Korean dictators inspect shampoo factories and tell the workers how to screw on the caps better.

Who cares what he says, the panel gaps are going to be atrocious either way.
