All other things aside, the worst part of the Cybertruck's design, to me, was its sloped truck bed walls (on the sides). Anyone who frequently uses their truck bed will know that getting access to stuff quickly and easily is key. And the Cybertruck's sloped walls go too high for anything in the very back of the bed to be reached. That just seems like such an unnecessary functional miss.

"I thought they'd be down 50% and they're up 450% so I was mostly right"

Yes this looks like someone's train of thought feelings about the topic. Not a lot of depth.

That feels like it's much more "by design" than "cannot meet regulations".


Immaterial to the original claim.


“We designed the Tesla Deathtrap 300 to explicitly break any regulations regarding danger to human life”


> 10k kg car

Did you typo this? Absolutely no way it's a 10 metric ton car.


Yeah sorry, it’s a typo


A bad trackpad really renders any laptop useless IMO.


Yeah it's wild to me that they'd consider going with some first gen startup solution for what is ultimately their most important professional device. And it's starting at $2k so it's not like it's insanely cheap either.


Star Labs have delivered a number of other high quality linux laptops - I even used one as my daily work driver for a few years at a previous job. They're not a startup.


Ah that's different then. I'm wrong.

What's normal can change. Today, 37% of used registrations in the US are sedans and about 18% of new registrations.


yes, what is "normal" has been redefined to align with what is more profitable for the US auto companies. There is no real reason why most US drivers suddenly switched from sedans to large SUVs and bloody pickup trucks in the past 40 years. Except for profit.


Have a truck with a light bar. But it's for offroad use only. I'd never drive with it on regular roads with traffic around me.


I just got done with a trip. Unfortunately there's a number of numb-nuts who don't see the problem with driving on regular roads with their lightbars on.
