In a conversation which was relayed to me, a Tesla employee was complaining that they wouldn’t be able to jump the line to get their truck. I know typically some employees do, but sounds like it’s far from universal.

I don’t think anyone is on record using the term exoskeleton design or exoskeleton frame prior to the Cybertruck. I haven’t researched this, but I doubt it. I’m pretty sure Munro adopted the term after Musk used it to describe the Cybertruck.

That would have been a good headline.

Poor title choice. Like I said, Barons track record plus shit title === ogre don’t read it. Considering the title gets 90% of the play, this is a low brow way for an editor to turn a positive story into a crappy headline.

There are more than one who look grumpy. Picture was posted at 2:30 am. When was it taken?

Gonna be hard to make the “Cybertruck wave” unless autopilot is engaged.

“The Edsel, named after Edsel Ford, the son of Henry Ford, is the notorious automotive failure, the one that stands out above the rest.” You have a different idea of what positive is than I do.

Cybertruck has captured the worlds imagination

Barons has been increasingly anti Tesla for some time. Given the fact that excitement over the truck has only increased as it’s gotten closer, I don’t think the flop is goin hot happen. Or if it does, not in the way the Edsel did.

There is certainly much truth here. But it won’t take 150k deliveries to get to chuck in Kansas. There will be a train going to Kansas City within the first 50,000 deliveries, Tesla wants them seen and talked about. Can’t have buzz if you don’t have presence.

Musk used aircraft as an example of how the Cybertruck integrated structure and the skin of the vehicle. Nobody in the AUTO industry has used the term exoskeleton either so people arguing over whether the Cybertruck does or doesn’t match the definition of the term when it’s never been used in...

One thing is very clear. It is not a ladder frame.

I don‘t think any of the competition has a screen like the typical Tesla screen. Also, none of those companies seem to give 2 shakes about actual safety so if the middle seat passenger gets a face full of glass, they don’t care. Tesla seems to actually care about that and very likely would not...

I agree. I just don’t see the solution as cut and dried as you do. It’s one of those places where unintended consequences often kicks in and we end up with taxpayers bailing out billionaires who have beach homes in Florida. I know we’re way off your original comment and I’m not suggesting...

That’s what it looks like when Tesla cancels an order. . . . . /s . . . I hope just kidding anyhow.

While I agree about trash, I don’t think it’s the same. Increased insurance costs motivate people to make better choices. If a place is a high fire danger location, it should be more expensive to insure.

Oh.. I do think it needs fixed 110v plugs too. But you don’t need 15 outlets in use while in motion.

Oddball thought. Instead of having a bank of outlets inside the bed, what if the Cybertruck comes with or has an optional dongle that comes out of the NACS port. Similar but much more capable than the one on the Hyundai.

Insurance companies make a profit based on how good they are at evaluating risk. Thus places with higher fire danger have higher homer insurance premiums. Lots of people don’t like this idea, but that’s literally the business model.

Well you do @mention him a lot… mom, mom, mom, mom…. I’m just sayin…
