Tesla Allegedly Pauses Cybertruck Deliveries

I can't help but to feel schadenfreude. It's what you get with what looks like a "meme-first" approach to product design.

Also, am I the only one who keeps thinking of the Simpson's Canyonero when reading cybertruck news?

I think much more of "The Homer", the car that was designed solely to Homer Simpson's specification...

I think of the Aztek and its beautiful styling (compared to the Cybertruck).

And also Truckla, which is the (apparently) the most problem-free Tesla truck. Right now, Tesla should be kneeling at Simone Giertz’s feet, begging for her help.

They had a ton of demand for them, but when the reality set in that stainless steel is a nightmare to align (sub 10-micron accuracy!!) and a nightmare to maintain, the car fell into the niche category.

How it got this far will be written about for a decade, a great example of not performing real world testing and validation.

You know somewhere deep in Tesla product people and engineers we're warning of the issues to come, but Elon had to have his Halo warthog.

Why don’t we just wait to see how things play out before making that kind of judgment? Production has barely started to ramp.

When I saw my first one in the Houston area I noticed they had already wrapped it (for as ugly as I think it is, the black wrap with the LED headlights actually was kind of sharp)

I'm curious how stainless steel is a nightmare to maintain. My (basic) understanding of the material is it's meant to be very low maintenance.
