You would assume we have wipers down after decades without failure.

Wipers often are the only moving part still working after a car totalled.

Never by the first model og anything really, everything is rushed to market and nothing is done properly the first time.

Don’t forget PayPal. He almost ruined it until they kicked him out.

Over 2 million on backorder. They say avg 5 year wait, but if they've only made 11,000 (it was 4,000 for the first recall iirc) its gonna be waaaaay more than 5 years wait for those idiots

The truck was first shown in 2016, nearly 8 years ago, and only came out last year so there was about half a decade of hype building around this thing that was busy sucking in all the gullible rich people.

Who said they sold them? There was a recent story where there was a parking lot full of them that was spray painted "fuck Elon" so we can assume there are other lots of them rusting away.

The problem isn't that it can't get wet. The problem is that it mustn't get wet.

I mean most of the issues have been from the assembly process and not the fundamental design. However I would argue designing something you can't reliably assemble is just as bad.

Now it looks like cars have early access periods

EA is a more reputable company.

Hey now those sons of bitches could be durable. I saw one get hit by a f150 once and the f150 had more damage. Dont fuck with the cozy coupes.

because unlike elon simone giertz is smart

I've seen a few around, and I always think "It's the N64 truck!"
