More money than sense
My assumption is that they designed it to have “cool cyberpunk” lights in a slit trench thing across the front and didn’t take time to consider why most cars have pretty smooth surfaces that stuff can run off all over. Or do any environment testing.
“They”, that’s cute, you think Elon let anybody else contribute input into its design? 🤣 (Being deliberately smarmy, no disrespect intended)
Yeah, not even joking, I think Elon drew this in 2D on a piece of paper and handed it to his staff. Them being afraid of another tantrum made it exactly to his specs and tried their best to add another dimension.
Musk doing his best to fight against brightness creep in headlights. I for one salute him
I hate californians so much
I hate california
America has to be the most absurd nation out there. Imagine hating regulation so much that this is street legal. They shouldn’t even be allowed to build them.
What zero regulations does to a motherfucker
This is the level of engineering that people think is going to colonize Mars?
They trusted the ocean gate “submarine” with about the same thing, so yeah.
Soviet deep sleeper agent Ayn Rand planted seeds of “rich = good and smart” into the brains of Americans and other Westerners. Such a mindset was designed to undermine technological advancement.
Now their worship of billionaires and their products as flawless and foolproof will only harm themselves.
Ayn Rand played the long game by destroying the US from within
Not only is it hideous, it also manages to be impractical
Truly incredible
By throwing out 100 years of design knowledge because you want to redesign the wheel in a disruptive bazinga way
Reading these amazing design failures always makes me feel a little bit better.
Not enough testing
I’ve been mulling over a design for a public book box in my head for the past 4 weeks or so and I’ve stumbled onto this problem despite having 0 engineering background or other relevant experience just by thinking about how weather would interact with it so I feel confident in saying this was a management decision
they’re designed in Texas so I am not surprised they didn’t think of snow lmao
sand will affect this too
They skipped real world tests. Like extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme wet (including PRESSURE WASHING).
I keep bringing this up:
Elon just copied and pasted a 1982 video game’s design for a car.
A Mac II era video game isn’t going to consider the other things, it just has wheels and looks like an aerofoil
Mac II
or Apple II?
Interesting nonetheless, thanks for sharing
Still looking forward to seeing these things after a season of road salt and snow.
“It’s called a patina”Didn’t even think about the road salt that thing is gonna melt after a few hundred miles in the winter lmaoo
Someone pointed this out in a montage of all the problems with these things. I think for them it was mud. Might be in Some More News’ video.
it is a ‘design’ that spits in the face of aero-and hydro- dynamics, it invokes the wrath of the very elements if not the gods themselves. it is not ‘designed’ as much as ‘not designed’ as in: ‘the cybertruck is not designed to withstand a pressure washing’ or ‘the cybertruck is not designed to be safely handled by unprotected human hands’ or ‘the cybertruck is not designed to cross even shallow water without failing’
Its based on a video game on the Mac II Elon played in his childhood.
That’s the highest possible aerodynamic score because it’s what an aerofoil would look like rendered on a 1982 computer.
Obviously it needs to be closer to the ground and needs rounded edges.
This is actually the most aerodynamic car in the world:
It’s Happy Fun Ball of cars: Defined more by what it doesn’t than what it does
