    I think I remember a quote from Elon, something like: „There in no one correctly on earth who knows more about manufacturing than me“

      I’m the best at it, many people are saying it. Top people, smart people, high IQ people.

    I just saw a thing where BYD is offering a basic EV for 10k USD in China.

      Got a BYD Dolphin in UK, it’s been perfect so far after a year. They are bringing a super cheap one here too, I hope it does well and keeps taking funds out of Elons pocket.

        My 6 year old, totally unprompted the first time he saw a cyber truck, pointed, laughed, and said “why’s it so pointy?!”

      I don’t think they’re road legal in the EU.

    I can’t work out what I’m looking at here. Badly made greenhouse? Some sort of giant grill/cooker?

      Well, there’s a windshield wiper, it needs a zip tie to keep its shoddy panel secured, and unlike other vehicles it’s made of steel that can’t get wet. That’s how you know it’s a Swasticar.

        Ah, I see it now! I didn’t recognise that thing as a windscreen wiper.

        To be fair, “badly made greenhouse” and “some sort of cooker” are still kind of correct :D

      I’m guessing one of Elon’s comedy fall apart cars.

        “Elons comedy fall apart cars” actually made me laugh out loud. That’s what I’m going to refer to them as from now on.

      Trim piece that is held on by glue, if it fails - panel falls off. Which is suboptimal, as it’s a long steel piece

    Look how badly the fitment is at that corner near the window and hood. That’s waaay off.

    At is best that panel is held on with some glue. The zip tie is an upgrade.
