Topic: Tesla Pickup Cybertruck

Should be interesting to see what the panels look like in 5 years.

Knowing the sycophants, they'll start a website called "Tesla Patina" to brag about their rusting shitboxes.

That's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw them. Idiots.

This is another one of those situation, when people should stop just saying yes.  The whole Truck design is too. A tale of what happens when you have nothing but yes men surrounding you.

The Tesla Cybertruck's stainless-steel body brings rust concerns. Tesla advises immediate removal of corrosive substances to prevent damage. Reports from owners reveal rust spots, indicating vulnerability without a clear coat.

But...But..But...Space Karen said the steel was special!!

Cybertruck teardown worlds first

Caresoft found that only one of the two rear doors opened that wide. The other three doors opened the same—Woycowski said that’s because assembly engineers might have just mistakenly installed the front door hinge at the rear. It's not what you expect from a car that costs over $100,000

I read something some Tesla fan boy wrote criticizing Infiniti and Lexus for having backup emergency systems in their by wire systems.....

It's a joke until it isn't, eh?

Subject: Cybertruck driver visibility is sub-optimal compared to the Ford Lightning I just bought.

Cybertruck sun visor obscures front visibility when seat height is raised to make it easier to see the vehicle corners, it wasn't possible for me (6') to see out of the truck in a manner I felt comfortable with.

Ford has a long front hood, but the corners of the vehicle are easier to spot, and the 360 camera system works well.
Ford has "cut outs" in door windows to make locating curbs and kids easier.
Ford has external lightning around the vehicle which is great for nighttime driveway positioning, which is a THING considering how biiig the truck is for an urban driveway.
