Decades from now when we are doing biopics comparing Elon Musk to Howard Hughes, this may well show up as the pivotal moment in the narrative.

#42That is the ugliest, most impractical thing. Guess I’m not the target audience (I’m rural, farm country). What a let down.... I was really excited for this too. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life heard anyone with truck say: “Man, it’s amazing off road, but the glass shatters too easily!” disclaimer I have a 3. Love it and Tesla in general. I don’t love this.
No, I think plenty are let down. I thought it was a joke when it drove out.

#43The stream is unlisted on YT - so if you don't feel like volunteering a (fake) email address to watch a commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcROXiN_cdE
The crowd is extremely loud and distracting this time. Are they in a smaller acoustic space than usual or is it just poor micing?
Sounds like they have a mic in the crowd. I can't believe the jeering from the crowd. Who do they they invite for these events?

#44I am sure Tesla will sell plenty of them, but I just can't help think it looks like a bad prop from a low budget 80s sci-fi movie.
I think that was the idea. This is not something Tesla hopes to sell like Model 3, it's a fun side project for them.

#46At first I was like "what the hell is that thing" but it grew on me by the end of the presentation.

#47The Tesla Armor Glass demonstration on the actual truck was such a fail. And now the broken glass is on full display to everyone watching.
It cracked but did not fail. Is that not supposed to be how it works?
No, it's not supposed to crack. In the stream they said they threw wrenches at it in the past and it didn't crack.

Interesting observations:
- Reservation is only $100 whereas the Model Y is $2500.
- 500 mile range on the Tri Motor, nice.
- No info on the ATVRe: Tesla Cybertruck [video]
#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
Did they not test this?
Failed twice consecutively. Aren’t the side glasses meant to be breakable by regulation for escaping situations when the door is jammed?
Two crazy theories: They'd been testing on the front and rear windows and someone thought it would scan better on stage to do the side.
Or if they've been testing on this exact car and repeated strikes delaminated the mylar layers enough for it to fail.

#50I know Musk is typically awkward on stage, but this one is the worst by far. He seems like he's on drugs. It's not even the way he speaks, it's like looking around paranoid. The car failed the glass demo, and he seems completely out of sync with the presentation and the videos. The audience cheers seem staged, too. Whoever's responsible for managing this did a disaster of a job.
Honestly I just wish they'd give him a clicker for the presentation. He was like this for the neuralink reveal but at least then he had other people talking to add some structure.
