Reading these amazing design failures always makes me feel a little bit better.

What zero regulations does to a motherfucker
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.
By throwing out 100 years of design knowledge because you want to redesign the wheel in a disruptive bazinga way
they're designed in Texas so I am not surprised they didn't think of snow lmao
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.
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
This is the level of engineering that people think is going to colonize Mars? 
Not only is it hideous, it also manages to be impractical
Truly incredible
They trusted the ocean gate "submarine" with about the same thing, so yeah.
Still love it though!
(Elon senpai please notice me)
Imagining UlyssesT laughing himself to death at this news. 
emojis everywhere.
I'll miss the comrade that killed Kissinger. Hopefully the legend returns with an alt someday
Free the homie 
Wait did he leave again?
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'
It's Happy Fun Ball of cars: Defined more by what it doesn't than what it does
honestly might be safer than the usual tesla headlights. those fuckers are blinding. they're as bright or brighter than the high beams of most cars i stg
They skipped real world tests. Like extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme wet (including PRESSURE WASHING).
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
They really didn’t hire a single person from outside Cali did they
I'm sure they did and were overruled by muskrat
Taking "There is no life east of the 5" to its logical extreme
May every misfortune and disaster befall these fuckin' dweebs.
I would have expected to hear something about how these things get eaten by road salt, but i guess you can just have both.
Soon
there hasn't been any snow yet where i live 
My area has mostly stopped getting snowfalls
When i was a kid, we used to build snowmen every winter. Just rolled up giant balls of the stuff and stacked them in the garden. Now we have maybe two days per winter where it doesn't melt to grey slush immediately. It's gotten to the point where i immediately go out and take a walk when we get snow and i have time because i just love snow. The way it makes the light stray, blankets the world, makes the air taste so fresh and icy, muffles every sound besides the creaking under my boots. And apparently, now it can also kill techbros.
I 1000000% agree with u and I miss snow so much
Ugh, same. The childhood winters where there would be a foot of fluffy snow on the ground, but the sky would be clear and the sun beaming - not warm enough to melt everything into slush but enough to just lay back (with jacket & snow pants ofc) on the snow and photosynthesize 
should push out an update that causes them all to start up, drive through a garage door if necessary, and migrate south for the winter.
Not very californian of you to think of snow (kinda like some apple iphone generation was eating shit due to cold)
By being born into grotesque wealth and having history's most powerful propaganda apparatus built around the lie that you earned said wealth by virtue of being superior to everyone else.
