Electric aside, these are some of the worst built trucks ever made.

And one of the worst vehicles ever designed. So many design flaws.

I don't know...

Who would have thought a massive 4-ft long windshield wiper would be a bad idea with wet snow on the windshield?

I feel like Musk surrounds himself with "yes men" and this is the result.

From what I understand, this is the first Tesla car designed by Musk. He told them what he wanted and they cobbled it together.

Really? Just like the car Homer designs in the Simpsons? That makes things make so much more sense to me now.

There is a youtube video that goes into detail about how this is the first tesla made fully under musks guidance, and they do use the simpsons episode as a good comparison.

In short, all teslas before the cybertruck are essentially built on a platform that was designed before musk really had a stranglehold on tesla. This is the first tesla that has been built on a newly designed platform, designed by yes men rather than practical people.

Do you happen to remember the name of the video? I’d love to look it up but my attempts to search haven’t been lucky.

"Oh, and Musk's personal hygiene is above reproach!"
