Good, after seen Marques' review on youtube last thing I would want is to be involved in a crash with a cybertruck. Those angles and steel plates will cause gruesome consequences for everyone involved in such an accident. Happy to see our regulation working.

This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxOh12Uhg08 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxOh12Uhg08 "I just can't see the front of the car". Oh yeah, this will work out great. Elon designed it himself, didn't he?

  > "I just can't see the front of the car". > Oh yeah, this will work out great. It seems to me that the Cybertruck has less of a blind spot in front of the hood than F-150. The "not seeing the front" is actually hinting at this, it's below the field of vision. The hood angles down agressively vs. huge Large trucks/SUVs are infamous for poor pedestrian visibility right in front.

  The whole video is a gold mine for "asshole design." - No door handles, press a button and pull the metal railing to open the door - No rear-view mirror, use the console to see what's behind you - Your driving speed is no longer in front of the steering wheel, it's in the console - Your glove box doesn't have a manual latch, dig into settings to open the glove box - The gear shifter is in the console or above you Seems like Elon went full contrarian when designing the car.

    Half this stuff has been standard tesla design for a while and are typically liked by Tesla drivers - - no door handles - driving speed on center console - glove box controlled by console - gear shift not in-between driver/passenger Contrarian I guess.... but not bad Also "no rear view mirror" - it was clearly stated in the video that is only for the production test model and real production models will have rear and side view mirrors.

      The rear view mirror was there, but the view was blocked by the tonneau cover. Which does seem unfortunate to me.

    > No door handles, press a button and pull the metal railing to open the door Certain Fiats in the 1980s had an arrangement where, rather than a door handle, you'd push a button and the door would pop open. It is... not a car feature I would necessarily have expected to reappear in 2023.

  He also designed the windshield wiper of doom. Which is ridiculous as well.

    I'm picturing that trying to move with a few inches of wet snow. It's a great visual. Also, can you imagine the cost of that as a consumable that should usually be replaced every month or three?

      1. No one uses their windshield wipers to remove a few inches of wet snow; you yourself do that beforehand 2. Wiper blades normally last longer than that 3. I still hate everything about that car
