I love the fact they’ve slapped some dubious clause in the sale contract that says you can’t sell them on within a year unless you want Tesla to sue you for $50k, or they might just brick the thing remotely.

Really building buyer confidence there…
To be fair, that's pretty standard these days.https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/13/23959481/if-yo...

Damn, wyson must be gagging with how deep they're swallowing.
The reason they are having issues is because it's a stupid f
king design that requires ridiculous tolerances to not look like a dog st panel-beaten van from the 60s.
None of it is bulletproof for standard calibre. The glass won't be openable if somehow they do spec it. Pointless.
It is compromise city.

What is a “standard” calibre? The car paraded on social media was shot up with .45 ACP. The most prevalent gun in the US is a handgun, 99% of which are chambered in less powerful 9mm..
It can be what it wants in engineering terms but the whole overtalk b
ks is getting tiring as far as Tesla is concerned.Bold claims, drop half of them, half-house what's left.
A panel may stop projectiles, but if it is certified, I'll eat my hat.

Mercedes claims they've hit Level 3 autonomous driving before Tesla—good for them.
I don't think it's a case of Mercedes "claiming" anything. They have managed to satisfy the various regulatory and insurance bodies that their systems manage SAE L3 and Tesla...haven't.Lefty said:

Anyone know the GVW?
2700-3200kgI rounded the 'insider info' I could find that was as current as possible.
Lowest is very dry and with smallest motor / battery combo.
Still, seems fairly light for the tow rating, and range potential etc.

Also, Tesla have killed people bodging their way there...
Making a statement that Tesla has been involved in fatalities is quite bold. I'm anticipating you'll now share various links or instances where Tesla has faced legal action related to manslaughter which has been proven.

Share it with the whole gang for a good show!
Unproven headline catching claim √
Insinuating info dump √
Track record of taking b
ks (me, for the exclusion of doubt) √That'll be a $100 deposit if you'd like the opportunity to know more in the future.

Marketing.
I don't like vehicles that purport to be one thing and turn out another.
I don't like class-leading claims which cause a stir but turn out to be unobtainium.
I don't like snake oil salesman, or loss leaders, or shrinkflation (not relevant here), or any other kind of buy me tricks.
If it's an apple, I want green and red. From a tree. At a price that's fair for everyone involved in the growing process. When (if) I want to purchase an apple, I would like it to be as advertised.
The Cybertruck has the sniff of something really interesting, groundbreaking, unique. But it's being lured towards the rocks of corporate bulls
t and that's something I will forever be disappointed in, and will protect my own fragile self-belief in a righteous World by mocking mercilessly.So I'm just gonna have a cry in the corner of my own Thread now. Hoping for the Utopia we all deserve...

Jason (the presenter) is very good and balanced. And to be honest, its this stuff that I am interested in - the engineering and how it does things. Since Tesla has done nothing to communicate what is behind the design. But hey, maybe I am the freak here.
I would also disagree with a few comments - Jason claims that the CT is the first car to have drive by wire steering, but thats not correct. But hey, facts matter, right?
Never watched him before, but my overall impression is very biased and uncritical.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6WDq0V5oBg

From a Brit perspective he's always super enthusiastic, but when you get a flavour for his high and lows, he's genuine.
