I truly applaud the attempt to radically innovate, from stainless steel to eliminate car rust (how much of it truly is stainless, mechanically speaking?), to major aesthetical design overhaul (even though it does not appeal to me at all). With so much innovation, delays ought to be expected
That being said, everything else is just atrocious. Production issues are blamed on unexpected delays because of innovation and vice versa. It just screams project mismanagement. This thing should't have been revealed at all. Also, why the fuck does this have bullet proof glass? A truck for the apocalypse? Are they trying to sell an APC? Who asked for any of that?
I wouldn't call any part of this innovative
Idk, it's kinda innovative to see musk finding new ways to shoot himself in the foot
The glass isn't bullet proof, although it's toughened. The body panels are supposed to be bullet proof (obviously only up to a certain point, as nothing is ever bullet proof against everything).
I think the bullet proof nature of the panels is more of a happy accident with the stainless being used just being very tough to begin with.
The oligarchs are preparing for the apocalypse they're bringing about themselves. This is the car they'll be driving through the rubble.
I would pick a Toyota pickup run the mother on syngas from wood. Civilization is over but I can still get air conditioning and drive.
