Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.
I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.
And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:
"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"
or thinking this is a joke:
"That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it"
What a weird take.
My point that nobody seems to be able to actually get is that if you are making a car it should look like a car.
It shouldn't look like a weird art installation because ultimately it has to work as a functional vehicle first and foremost. And part of that is not being in death trap to everyone in the local environment. There's some reason these things aren't sold in Europe.
If a car is unsafe then it has failed in its most fundamental aspect of being a useful vehicle. Because a unsafe car is not a car that you can use.
The only reason these things are allowed on the roads in the US is that the US don't actually care about their own citizens well-being.
