If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.

it's so fucking funny that they didn't even clearcoat the cybertruck so if you don't towel it off after rain it'll eventually start rusting because they can't do it with more corrosion resistant Stainless Steel types, and most of them still rust under Outside Conditions, you can just buff it off and have it create a new protective passivation layer

but that doesn't work if it's structural... because you're still removing metal at that point.

let me state this more clearly: the body, unlike most cars, is structural and load bearing. it's an exoskeleton. This isn't even getting into the horror that is Road Salt.

I can only assume that Noel Skum himself decided he wanted to have a hand in designing this thing, because I seriously doubt any engineer worth their salt would have let any of this off the drawing board.

Everything I hear about this thing astounds me more and more. At this point, I'm honestly a little surprised they didn't decide to fit it with triangular wheels.

I'm sure there have been lots of cars that seem to have been designed for the chief purpose of being photographed rather than driven, but the CyberTruck surely must be at the top of the list.

I'd still like to know how easy it is to set one on fire. ~Chara
