I said they don't do much marketing, and that's barely a marketing video, just some dash cam footage.
You have a weird definition of marketing. That video is purely for consumption by a possible consumer; you can't get any more marketing than that! I think you missed what I said. That isn't some footage that they pulled from some random test drive. They picked a route and drove it over and over until they had enough footage to splice together to appear as a successful run. The primary feed is also not filmed from a d…
But it doesn’t matter because there are tons of the same kind of video on YouTube uploaded everyday.
You think this is a big deal, when people are driving places daily with it just fine. I myself only drive like 10% of the time while autopilot does the rest. Gets better every month as well.

It remains to be seen what it ships with, but you can add films and coatings to the glass to make it much more resistant. I don’t think that would affect certification, although I could be wrong.
You're not wrong, you've been suckered by advertising. Watch the video. The water is there, horse. Drink it.

It's extremely unsafe. The design is illegal in at least the European Union, UK and Australia.
Unsafe to others, yes. Maybe it makes me a bit of an asshole, but I’m ok with that tradeoff. I’ve never had a collision in my life, but my cars have been hit by others. I’m principally concerned with safety for myself and my family. Concern for others on the road comes a lot further down the list. Sorry. I drive with great care and responsibility, but many others do not. I’m worried about protecting me from them, not…

People said SpaceX was wasting their time trying to land a rocket. High risk, high reward. The potential for advanced robots in vehicle production is a no brainer.
>People said SpaceX was wasting their time trying to land a rocket. Others did that before. It doesn't appear that you are capable of having a good-faith discussion on this topic given your tendency to change the subject and offering incorrect information. If you did not watch the video there is no point in further conversation.
But yea focus on the stuff in dev as if that negates the rest of the real progress.
Trivializing the significance or landing full size boosting from orbital velocity reliably is laughable. You must be jealous of real accomplishments.

I do not understand people like you. Everyone does the wrong thing sometimes, but I do not see how you can calmly and knowingly choose to do evil and not even be ashamed of it. How can you be so casual about hurting other people for your own selfish ends? It is completely alien to me.

The defining feature of vaporware is that the product gets announced and then either isn't released or isn't released for a very long time. The term has nothing to do with the amount of resources being poured into it. One of the most famous examples of vaporware was the game Duke Nukem Forever, which started development in 1996, was announced in 1997, and wasn't released until 2011. I believe it was in nearly continu…
I guess you have to use your own common sense to determine if a product is moving forward or not. DNF is a great example of something that obviously was not moving forward. CyberTruck obviously is.

Thunderfoot is a joke who feeds off haters like you. Half his critism is about products still in development. Totally ignoring how Tesla is pushing producing 2 million cars this year and SpaceX is launching more to orbit than the rest of the world combined. But yea focus on the stuff in dev as if that negates the rest of the real progress. Trivializing the significance or landing full size boosting from orbital veloc…

Behave.

That is...not a great test run. That's the worst turning radius I've seen on a pickup truck that didn't have an RV behind it, amply demonstrated by the test driver backing up when he fails to make a fairly wide u-turn at the far end of the test strip. The Cybertruck appears destined to go down in history as the Google Glass of the automotive world. (Notably, the Glass had the same type of limited tech-centric hype be…
We will see. Current strategy is demand is a function of price. Not marketing. They will change price continually to meet the production output of the factory. Between no marketing, no dealers, and making their own batteries - it’s very hard to compete. CyberTruck looks cold, angry, mean - there’s more than enough truck drivers with the matching personality to meet the supply.
The only type of people who would consider buying a CyberTruck are the ones who also went all in on Google Glass.
