You mean the thing everyone said was going to happen actually happened. Lmao

I truly applaud the attempt to radically innovate, from stainless steel to eliminate car rust (how much of it truly is stainless, mechanically speaking?), to major aesthetical design overhaul (even though it does not appeal to me at all). With so much innovation, delays ought to be expected

That being said, everything else is just atrocious. Production issues are blamed on unexpected delays because of innovation and vice versa. It just screams project mismanagement. This thing should't have been revealed at all. Also, why the fuck does this have bullet proof glass? A truck for the apocalypse? Are they trying to sell an APC? Who asked for any of that?

The oligarchs are preparing for the apocalypse they're bringing about themselves. This is the car they'll be driving through the rubble.

Panel gaps are just a ubiquitous feature of a Tesla. This isn't a surprise, and the apologists will say it's no big deal.

You should see the videos of model Y owners (a model they've had many iterations on) roll down their window during rain to get a drive through order and the water pours into the open window directly onto the, you guessed it, button console used to open/close the window and DOOR. I'm sure that won't eventually cause problems. With OPENING THE DOOR.

And it's not just falling rain, it literally channels rain from the glass roof directly into any open window. It's hilarious.
