Let's see what talktotransformer has to say about CYBRTRK.

quote:

Elon Musk got out of his cybertruck, iced the SUV's front end in place, and then mounted the crushed-up cybertruck on a motor scooter to continue his journey to his next stop, Victoria B.C., about 200 kilometres west of Vancouver. About six kilometres east, Mr. Musk crossed a bridge over a tunnel and stopped in Victoria. "I can't believe that I did it. It was as fast as I have ever driven. I was grinning the whole time," he said.

quote:

"Check out my Cybertruck!" Musk shouted out, pointing to his creation, a detachable cargo vessel the size of a barge with rocket-propelled tubes snaking through its sides. It resembled an oversized sea otter floating in a sliver of water, then stepped onto a platform to embark on a flight to Mars.

quote:

"Behold... CYBRTRK," Elon screamed.

They heard the roar, the roar of a lot of electric motors spinning simultaneously, roaring for the right gear shift and the right speed. The magneto hummed as he spun around, along with the 478s, 40s, 16s and 10s and their safety belts.

When he drove the 160s straight down that hill, the cameras were wide-eyed and befuddled.

quote:

"My Cybrtrk brings all the Bazingas to the yard," explained Elon Musk. He pointed to his Solar roof. "For my entire life, I've been at a loss for where to store all the bloop bloop bloop the entire month. "For the past 6 weeks, my garage has been my laundry room. There is a lot of bloop bloop. It's not making me any money, but it's been good for me to catch up on the Mail."

quote:

The Cybrtrk pointed directly at Mars, and then slammed into the planet. This blast destroyed most of the orbiter's armaments, and caused it to crash-land on Mars.

As the probes began returning from their loops around the red planet, NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) was also awakened. This incredible instrument searched for signatures of ancient nuclear explosions on Mars.

they have to build it in a tent because their attempt to overhaul the production line failed so badly and the things have massive QC failures. their run up to producing 5k a month resulted in a 14% first pass yield, meaning 86% of the vehicles they built were so hosed up they couldn't even "factory gate" them and they required significant rework to be salable.

they certainly didn't not gently caress up on the model 3

wait- are they still being built in a tent?

Endless Mike posted:

he's right that the design necessarily followed the material selection, the problem is that calling it "innovative" is ignoring that there's virtually no good reason to use stainless steel for the body of a consumer vehicle

there’s a perfectly good reason, albeit not one that an automaker usually likes

enjoy this vid by forums poster donoteat01 on the Budd Company and why it no longer exists, one of the reasons being the properties of stainless steel

(this is the same awesome dude who extensively dunked on hyperloop btw, anyone who enjoyed that should click this)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CEjozE--YrY

note that The Budd Company was able to form and weld curved stainless panels many, many decades ago. which is relevant since EVs need good smooth-curve aero shapes to have decent range, and man is the polygonmobile Not That.

Bulgakov posted:

the big brain power move of demanding bullet proof windows instead of shatter resistant

you don’t want shatter resistant side windows either. you want tempered shatter-prone glass like all normal automakers use, for safety. when any fracture starts in a properly tempered glass panel, within milliseconds it spiderwebs and propagates so the entire thing disintegrates into a million tiny pieces. this is better than stronger glass because after it shatters there is no remaining piece with the size and structural integrity required to give you a deep wound. you can get superficial cuts from the debris, but not deep gashes that’ll bleed you out before an ambulance arrives.

even when it doesn’t get hit and therefore doesn’t break in the initial crash, tempered glass is good for emergency egress. first responders (or you) can quickly and safely remove an entire window merely by swinging a small tool with a pointy tip. all it takes is enough force to make a small chip and the entire thing will poof away. i keep an emergency flashlight in my car which has a little pointy tip on the butt end for this.

windshields are the exception to the tempered glass rule, because people don’t like their windshield disappearing every time a rock gets kicked up into it. modern safety windshields are composite structures with two panes of non tempered glass sandwiching a polymer core. the polymer is extremely tough so even when the glass fractures the pieces are usually held together by the polymer core. this reduces occurrence of one of the old school fatal injury sources, foot long razor sharp chunks of windshield glass set free to seek out occupants’ necks, femoral arteries, etc.

composite windshields are much more expensive than (and less safe than) tempered glass, but probably a decent compromise for that specific application. everything else should be tempered, unless you’re building an armored car and expect the risk of getting shot at to outweigh the crash safety problems.

bobhoward posts are always informative, so imagine my dismay at the implication that I would rather have superficial cunts than deep gashes.

they didn't bother with making the glass safe on the cybertruck because you're at far greater risk of getting cut on the truck's sharp angles anyway

the powerwall 2 has some pretty amazing secfucks in it

it exposes a management web gui over wifi. the wifi password is trivial to guess based on the ssid (which is broadcasted, of course) and it's not possible to change it, nor to turn off the wifi

once you connect to wifi you can gently caress with the power metering in software to do all sorts of shenanigans; in fact it seems really easy to destroy/set fire to the unit :pwn:
