The Friday Link for 5/10/24

Howdy all.

I don't have delusions of grandeur. I know Elon Musk could care less about what I have to think, or maybe he does.  The dude literally threw billions of dollars into Twitter to stop people from mocking him, only to see it tumble in value because he doesn't know what the heck he's doing!  But smart business choices are not his forte. This is also a guy who runs an electric motor company and decided to tell his likely consumer base (liberals) that they're all political hacks.  That's like opening a meat-free alternative burger joint and then bad-mouthing all vegans. 

The Cybertruck is the latest stupid thing this guy has done.  Forget the "truck" looks like a set piece from a 1980s sci-fi TV show, the vehicle is bad! It seems to have an insane amount of design flaws and doesn't really operate well as an urban vehicle, let alone as a truck.  The video of the thing getting stuck in 4 inches of snow does not bode well for the off-road durability.

This week, let's get some evaluations on the Cybertruck.  First up is Vehicle Virgins with a review which seems to want to be nice to Elon, but in the end exposes a lot of the faults of the vehicle. Who the hell would even think a rearview mirror where you can't see anything behind you was a good idea. 


The next takedown of the Cybertruck is a far more practical one. In this video, the channel Electric goes through point by point why the Cybertruck was messed up with its design, rollout, pricing, durability, and...practicality. 


Finally tonight, Lewis Black from The Daily Show will have the final say on the Cybertruck. Who would be so stupid to put their finger in the closing trunk AFTER it had already broken a stick? Musk fans are WEIRD!

Drive safe everyone!

And make sure to get your vaccinations up to date! I want you to be safe!
