Updated CyberTruck to be shown in a month or so AFTER WE GET THE 8000 TON CASTING MACHINE RUNNING!

I always make sure when I buy a machete, it's made of the best paper

Compressed paper of course! Really, that white dash looks gawd awful! A Model 3 "wood" version or even a blackened SS would be better. Honestly, almost ANYTHING would be better than the whitish paper, even black vinyl. ANYTHING except white paper!

Tesla could make a dash of compressed paper/cardboard and cover with some sort of vegan vinyl and you would never know the difference

I have seen some cardboard tubes that come in large rolls of plastic that are very hard and could be used as a weapon, its actually amazing what you can do with "paper"

I'll be disappointed if he makes it smaller. Go big or go home.

I might be going home. I'm not sure I still want the CT because of its size. The sterile inside is starting to remind me of military vehicles I rode/drove. Even my old 1968 K5 Blazer had more inside appeal. So now it is a wait to see one up close. And then decide if I want to spend $50k on a CT or pay off the house. Being in line at 236K, I have a long time to think. Just a thought.

...or pay off the house.

Can't deduct the CT from your taxes.

But like you said, lots of time before the question actually pops up.

An architect by the name of Shiguru Ban has created actual buildings using cardboard (paper) tube as structure.

Here is some of his work. One example, the cathedral, built in 2011AFAIK it is still standing today.

Paper structures.

We should be inching closer and closer to the reveal of the tweaked CyberTruck design!

You sure can as a contractor who uses it for work. Might need to install a sub meter or have some way of tracking annual power cost so that can be deducted too like gasoline purchases.
Of course road tax is now incorporated into our annual registration in California.

The interest not paid is much better for my financial situation.

The difference between compressed paper and paper is like the difference between graphite and diamond (both are carbon). Compressed paper is used in labs because its very durable, resists stains and heat better than other durable counter tops and is softer and lighter than quartz or silica. It is an excellent choice for a dashboard. People that call it a paper dash are either uneducated about the material or cannot conceive a dashboard made of anything other than plastic which is unsustainable, fades, cracks, and emits voc. New car smell anyone to go with your new cancer?

the labs I have worked in all used Stainless Steel, its the easiest to sanitize and is not porous which can enable bacteria growth

I guess its in all the labs you haven't worked in yet ?

I didn't mean meth labs. Its the difference between fiberglass composite and glass.

On November 1st Elon tweeted maybe in a month or so he'd give us an update on the changes to the CyberTruck. Today is December 2nd. According to my calculations today is exactly "a month or so". Where's my update!
