It sounds to me like they still need to learn how to really build a car. This many years in on a car this expensive and I’m still reading about fit and finish problems. The design that makes repairs super expensive after a collision needs to become more repairable to reduce insurance costs. And they need to become more compatible with common user experiences with most cars; there shouldn’t need to be instructions for how to open doors. I get that Musk hates physical buttons, but they make driving safer than looking at a screen.
It's ridiculous how much they felt the need to reinvent stuff that didn't need reinventing. I get that you get new opportunities and challenges when there's no engine and everything, but you don't throw away everything the automotive industry has found out in the last 100 years.
It’s amazing to me they spent so much time on the truck and there are so many things about it getting reported like the whole model is in beta software version of the car.
On the launch event they touted “front a rear lockers.” Which basically every truck now offers at least one of those in a model or two. On the CyberTruck? It’s still unavailable and will be released later in an update… it’s mechanical… it’s not software. I drive a truck with F+R lockers. If I had a quad motor truck I wouldn’t want lockers, because the motor that’s on the ground can still move me. If you won’t have a mechanical connection than simply don’t promise a feature and then have to software design a half-baked solution.
Also, the CT doesn’t have Teslas “full self driving” like all the other models. It will allegedly come later, but it’s not out yet….
No Tesla models have full self driving
True, but they claim that they do, which has caused several deaths.
It’s probably why Elon said everyone gets a free trial so they can collect that much more driving data.
You do when you're an idiot who thinks he's smarter than everyone else.
My fit is fine for mine.
The paint is garbage. The paint dings with normal driving. It’ll chip and flake off.
