I mean if you don't look at the thing, on paper it's fantastic. When you get to the looks - well, let's just say I canceled my order last year because I couldn't imagine myself driving it (in addition to the fact that it's so late).

Sure engineering problems may be solved, but personally I don't give Mr. musk credit that he really cares enough if the thing looks "cool" and can be appropriately hyped.

- Gud 3y agoIf anything, Elon Musk has proven that he knows how to make electric cars. And space rockets. You may dislike or even hate the man, but he’s a highly successful engineer.
- r00fus 3y agoFTA: "Braking performance was one of the worst areas of the report. Tesla’s engineers were aiming for a score of 7, or “fair,” on the Society of Automotive Engineers rating scale, but the alpha version achieved only a 4, or “poor” rating. According to the report, in January 2022, the Cybertruck’s brake pedal pressure pad was still under design, and so the alpha experienced “excessive pedal travel and inconsistent stop,” and “excessive pitch during friction braking,” braking during turning issues, as well as power braking instability." As someone who will probably see a lot of these on the road near me, it's kind of terrifying.
- paulpauper 3y agothe problem is you will draw a lot of attention to yourself, and finding parking spots
- fallingknife 3y agoThe attention issue is the opposite of a problem for a lot of people, though. Especially people who drive large trucks. So I think there's a market there.
