Whatever its flaws, I love the design of this thing and hope they make it work eventually.

I'm into it. idk. Normal pickup trucks are the dumbest looking things on earth. At least this looks like a dumb sci-fi thing. I don't specifically care if you can throw a rock through the window.

I'd love to be somewhere where the BMW and Lexus SUVs are the worst
somehow the worst drivers here are driving suburbans or the fuck-off cadillac version of the same, still
― mh, Friday, 22 November 2019 18:42 (four years ago) link
ford raptors and their ilk easily the worst

yeah, it looks cool
i continue to 1) think elon musk is a sign of everything that is wrong with the world, and 2) hope that he succeeds in making people replace their vehicles with low-poly flatshaded electric vehicles with solar panels on the top

xp yeah I also think Musk is a tool and a freak but I also appreciate that he's behind the only US automaker that doesn't seem completely mired in the groupthink stupidity of the US auto industry, both in terms of fuel and just in having to make everything look and seem exactly the same as every other car.

making distinction between "US" auto industry and other countries is increasingly meaninglesstrucks have been getting more militaristic, this is just an extension of that, like the Ford F150 Black Ops

The Dyson vacuum worked pretty well, actually! It was actually a plastic part that broke, not the vacuum function itself. There seem to be a lot of vacuums that have mimicked it, though, which is ... what will happen with the best Musk advances.
Elon Musk should introduce a personal fragrance. Musk by Elon, maybe.

Well, congrats to Elon Musk for designing a vehicle that literally looks like a prop from Metalstorm: The Destruction Of Jared-Syn (Universal, 1983).

whoops
Thursday’s unveiling of Tesla’s latest electric vehicle hit a snag when the company’s chief designer smashed the vehicle’s windows while attempting to demonstrate their durability. Tesla’s share price subsequently plummeted 6%, bringing Musk’s personal net worth down by $768m in a single day, according to Forbes.
