Also, for a vehicle supposedly having a Q3 launch event, they sure look like they have a lot of testing is going on.

It looks like a Weber bbq.

Since we are talking dumb Tesla things here...Tesla cars have the charging port at the back left corner. This has allowed Tesla to use very short charging cables on their superchargers. Win on cost savings, right? Well this looks to be too short for the CT. You can see it had to back in biasing the passenger side of the space, and have the hitch basically in contact with the charger to plug it in. Seems like something they should have thought through, maybe had it right on the back corner. But then it might ruin the beautiful lines of this majestic beast.

I'd add the part about abandoning the IP of a platform based entirely off IP. They call them Tweets! Nobody is going to adopt awkwardly calling them X-es.

Look.

In a few years they're going to be teaching the 'Twitter Acquisition' in Business Schools around the world.

Because its a literal compendium of 'what not to do.'

Regardless of anything else, I think we can all agree that for a brand new truck, it has entirely too much duct tape on it.

There are rumours the flat panels resonate and contribute to uncomfortable noises in the cabin. I suspect those might be sensors to monitor that. You know, stuff you do a month before deliveries start.

Doesnt surprise me really.

The mental gymnastics required to deny the Holocaust are essentially unfathomable.

If my old friend Jacques was still alive...he'd teach these denying clowns something about the goddamned Holocaust...

I don't understand anyone who still supports the Musk owned platform.

No matter if it's because you don't want to lose your followers, or you say you only follow nice people, or whatever.

X has become a violently anti-semitic, racist, transphobic, misogynistic, hate pushing platform, and Musk is intentionally amplifying those voices.. (I might have missed a couple of things)

Is your presence on there really that important to your life that you'll overlook what Musk is doing and what X has become?
Can you not get your news or information anywhere else? Does having followers mean that much to your ego you'll keep saying things like "it has nothing to do with me, I'm just there for my subs."?

The movie is going to be AMAZING at this point. Steep decline and descent into pure racism, and then blammo - the joke that is the Cyber Truck for breif comedic relief before it gets really dark.

Probably ends in a courtroom in a bunker with the survivors of his estate claiming he wasn’t Hitler, just mentally disabled.

Depending on the whims and fears of a private individual is not the best idea to run a war. It's easy to sit back and criticize Musk for something like that but if I felt that my decisions directly increased the chances of nuclear war or my son having to go to war I think it's foolish to say I know what I'd do.

There's a reason the military makes and maintains their own stuff.

The more I think about it, the cybertruck looks precisely like what I think a Nazi would drive. It's all starting to make sense.
