It is almost like all other car makers know something Tesla does not. Maybe that big reflective flat surfaces are not safe for other drivers on sunny days.
- mavhc 3y agoThey're not flat surfaces
- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoNot for long, anyway.

- alpaca128 3y agoI don't know what you want to tell with this, but in that picture every surface I can see looks almost perfectly flat. For the purposes of aerodynamics a curvature you have to measure with a tool is likely not going to help much. Edit: In case this is a thread you might want to link the exact post/picture we're supposed to see because threads aren't accessible without login.
- KaiserPro 3y agoor that flat surfaces aren't very strong, require more material to be rigid and generally have bad aerodynamics.
- me_me_me 3y agoone very interesting take i hear is those 'armored plates' might become a death trap in a car crash. As hydraulic cutters might not be as effective on them in case firefighters need to cut people out of a vehicle.
- DennisP 3y agoAccording to this sculptor/mechanical engineer who saw one recently, the Cybertruck actually has subtle curves. He posted photos. https://twitter.com/DavidKasmanArt/status/1729223323010072915 https://twitter.com/DavidKasmanArt/status/172922332301007291...

- dangus 3y agoI guess delivery vans are dangerous. Stainless steel isn’t even reflective. Shine a bright flashlight into your refrigerator and tell me what happens.
