A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They honestly look better painted/wrapped. I'm becoming more and more certain Elon went with stainless steel just to trick people into buying an unpainted car.

Probably a bulk discount with the rocket materials supplier too.

Aluminum sheets that didn't quite make the aircraft grade cut.

Actually 100% both of these. He stated it was a design goal early on and why its got so many straight edges is because the material did not do well with complex forming.
