I feel like an entire college engineering seminar could be made about how not to do things like ~~this~~ the cybersuck.

A place to post your Cybertruck fails! We're here to make fun of this hunk of shit and throw as much shade as we can to that garbage bag of a human elon.

The engineers understood this, they just took their paycheck and went home. The people who need this seminar aren’t engineering majors, they’re business majors who need to be taught that taking shortcuts on your way to profits is going to lead to failure later. Granted we’re far too deep in the hole of capitalism for that lesson to even matter any more
Hell, we have professional seminars about shit like this. Especially once the bodies start piling up.
I'm more and more convinced this car was never actually supposed to be used by anyone.
My pet theory is dumbass was trying to hype up the stock. He drew something down a la homer simpson.
They had 1 guy actually working on it and added a page where you could give Elon an interest free loan to reserve a truck. After a while, he would give a refund and say it wasn't cost effective. It was all vaporware until someone said you could make the panels dirt cheap, just glue them down, and the profit margins would be huge.
Swastikoffin? Seems more like a death trap every day
Wait so the videogamey design is impractical irl??
Turns out, you need more than a few triangles. Wouldn't hurt to have some ambient occlusion and some antialiasing, either.
Can this become a standard feature? The headlights on all cars are too damn bright these days
I can’t recall which (Audi?) but at least one of them has a headlight system that literally blocks the light from hitting passing cars. So it’s constantly scanning for cars, and I guess it has fine control over which parts of the lights are on, and where they point? But it’s to solve this. Basically you can drive with your high beams while nobody else is the wiser
All the euro brands have it but it’s banned in the US because slow dinosaurs. Although the ban is supposed to be finally lifted starting this year or next.
I'm already blinded by the time it detects me. They should ban those systems. You can tell when it kicks in, and it's always too late. Modern lights are great for the driver but shit for everyone in front of em.
I feel the same way, the feature was imo never properly tested the reaction time is so bad
That is pretty neat. I have to wonder if it has any way to avoid blinding pedestrians or cyclists

Yeah, the "don't make the light shine up" is just regular fucking inspection passing requirements. The HID lights will auto level by law and the led matrix lights usually do as well. Or the more modern implementation is where it'll just turn off half of the matrix
My Subaru doesn't scan, but you can see a small divot in the light where an oncoming car would be.

LMFAO this is literarily the Homer car, except way uglier 😂
The Homer has a separate bubble for the kids and for that reason alone it's better
He also gave us the ample cup holders we now consider indispensable.
it's comical just how many design flaws they managed to cram into one swasticar. there should be a list.

Man, this car gets funnier every day!
