Imagine for a moment, this (apparently plausible) scenario.
You are minding your own business driving home from work on the freeway, doing a sedate 65mph when you are passed by an asshole in what looks like a misshapen garbage dumpster doing mach-3 and whirring and buzzing with all the grace of a Spirit Airlines Airbus during mating season.
Without warning, this complete fucking ballbag cuts you off and stomps on his breaks. You watch in horror as one of its rear panels tears itself loose. You now have approximately 0.2 seconds before an 80 pound lump of sharpened sheet metal comes crashing through your windscreen at 70 mph.
@Lana I'd like to remind all these alt-right idiots who want to go back to the 50s that Ford made an Edsel that was slightly wonky looking and people ended up topping themselves out of shame for having bought one. Not that I would wish that on anyone who bought a cybertruck - though let's face it they will likely end up frying to death in some stainless steel wreck like a KFC.
@Lana@briankrebs It’s just the _ Superleggera_ model. We’re a branding tweak away from a limited edition. Do what the Italian brands would do: Remove stuff, and charge more 🤣
@Lana I'm not a Musk fan. And the CyberTruck is just a pointless truck that goes against pretty much any benefit that EVs might bring. But I suspect that image is fake. The inner lining and lots of trim parts are also missing. And aren't lots of those pressings made of metal?
@polpo@Lana sorry, what I meant that the screen grab is fake. Several panels and parts have clearly been deliberately taken off. What's underneath is pressed metal, not plastic. I'm pretty sure the text is a lie and it's trolling.
@polpo@Lana apparently it's in the process of being wrapped. Probably to protect the steel 😅. Hence the tailgate is already black while the rest of it is mostly still bare metal.
The CyberTruck has enough flaws without needing to resort to making stuff up.
@Lana@polpo only Reddit. But it seems more plausible. Why else would some of the panels be black. And so carefully removed. And that underneath is plastic is clearly false. Smells like a troll post to me.
