fine, as long as they don’t offer ‘driver assisted colonoscopies’ while driving
a spinning componenet symbolizing a wheel, fan or turbine
Yes, bring back the steam turbine
What I’m expecting:
A solid state battery that gives 1000 mile range and recharges in 15 minutes.
What I’ll probably get:
Look at the new paint colors now available!...........
Most of the cybertruck's I've seen had paint jobs. Makes me wonder what else in this CNBC article is wrong.
Is that true? I have seen probably ten Tesla Cybertrucks, and all of them had the steel finish. Is painting them a regional thing?

A hybrid that charges as you drive would be a good idea too.
There are many painted trucks here. The best one I’ve seen is done as a ‘woody’................
The cybertrucks I’ve seen in Alabama are usually painted.
Interesting. I didn’t even know they offered paint jobs.
The many I’ve seen in eastern PA have been unpainted.
It’s hard to imagine a real-life perpetual motion machine, if that’s what you’re talking about. But hybrids and BEV’s do have regen braking to charge the battery up some with the braking we do every now and then anyway with our normal driving. So far at 80K miles I haven’t needed brake pads replaced, supposedly because our EV’s braking is mainly from regen (though we use a little brake pad braking when we slow down faster than regen brakes).
By the way, the "dazzle" camo paint job makes almost any kind of warship look more "war-like", maybe it would work on a cybertruck to make it look more, well..."truck-like".
There was a British warship a few years back that entered service, and I didn't find anything at all war-like or threatening about it, and I thought putting camo on it might make it more so, and here is the before:
And here is the after:
It does make it seem more war-like and capable!
“Spinning components? Fan or turbine?”
Maybe a Tesla airplane!
Or a drone!...........
“It’s hard to imagine a real-life perpetual motion machine”
I was thinking of a Tesla version of a Prius. Or Chevrolet Bolt.
I agree the cyber trucks are ugly - but I’m older - when I see a 1940’s pickup truck in a movie I get tears in my eyes they’re so beautiful. And the further back you go the cooler they are.
I can’t understand why they keep changing car designs to be worse and worse. Well, that’s not true - I know why - it’s the $$$. They can’t afford to make things the way they used to make them.. but I don’t understand why people get convinced it’s an improvement when it’s not. I guess most people are easy to gaslight.
Once in a while a car company will show a slide show of their cars through the decades - an d the message is “look how far we’ve come” - but I think it’s a bad idea because it literally shows them getting less and less beautiful and cheaper materials.
But I guess younger people don’t see it the same way.
That looks just like it!.............
