I'm going to assume that Musk has not seen Back to the Future, because DeLoreans had stainless steel body panels and (oddly placed) handles

Trucking industry probably won't adopt to it. The majors probably all have agreements with the major manufacturers and engine builders. For EV to take on it would have to be through your Freightliners or Internationals and there would have to be a major infrastructure push (lol lmao) to support them

I thought deliveries on the semi were supposed to start this month or something. Megachargers have been installed at some warehouses already, so now FritoLay and Pepsi are just waiting on the trucks themselves.

The claims he made in the semi announcement were physically impossible so I've been curious what they actually deliver.

i'm sure all the big trucking companies are itching to buy an extremely expensive tractor with a service life of 1 year or 50,000 miles sure, volvo trucks are really nice, but do they use high tech foamed metal suspension components?

That Cybertruck is somehow even uglier than when it was unveiled holy poo poo. Also gonna  when they used low-grad stainless steel for the panels and any Bazingas that live where roads are salted for ice in the winter starts posting that while their truck is quickly turning to rust they LOVE THE TRUCK

Didn’t Delorean in part go bankrupt because they were always replacing the steel paneling on cars Or maybe I’m dreaming that up.

Stainless steel can also very hard to work with. I spec a lot of 304/316SS conduit in my projects and it's a pain in the rear end to bend. I'm sure there will be no panel fit issues with any of these, no sir-ee

I wanna see what kind of crumple zones a car made of just straight sheets of steel looks like. Front end collisions turning the Cybertruck hood into a guillotine for the driver would be a self solving problem

I actually checked those out; the mattresses aren't specifically great but their water cooling/heating technology is really cool. I might get one of their covers for my mattress someday, I'm just worried about the same risks that are inherent to waterbeds.
