spoiler (click to show/hide)

Cannibal Corpse - Shredded Humans

Early hours, open road, family of five - on their way home
Having enjoyed a day in the sun, their encounter with gore has just begun
A homicidal fool not knowing left from right, now has the family in his sight
Trying to perceive if he's blind or insane,
he steers his car into the other lane

Both of them collide, expressions horrified
Head on at full speed, the vultures will soon feed

The father of three was impaled on the wheel,
as his skull became a part of the dash
His eyeballs ejected his sight uneffected, he saw his own organs collapse
His seatbelt was useless for holding him back, it simply cut him in two
Legs were crushed, out leaked pus as his spinal cord took off and flew
The mother took flight through the glass, and ended up impaled on a sign
Her intestines stretched from the car down the road for a quarter of a mile

Fourth child on the way, won't live another day
Fetus on the road, with mangled little bones
Little children fly, not a chance to wonder why
Smashed against the ceiling, all their skin burning and peeling
Shards of glass explode, chest and skull now implode
Corpses they've become, and graves will have to be dug

Underneath the wheels, burning rubber on your face
Bleeding from your eyes, the slaughtered victims lies
Knowing what he's done, he just backs up one more time
Laughing at the mess, a pile of meat on the street

One child left slowly dying now, arteries gushing blood
Now it's time to feed on flesh, the gore has just begun

Early hours, open road, family of five - on their way home
Having enjoyed a day in the sun, their encounter with gore has just begun
A homicidal fool not knowing left from right, now has the family in his sight
Trying to perceive if he's blind or insane,
he steers his car into the other lane

The look of death in my eye
Surely no-one will survive
Just a pile of mush
Left to dry in the sun

I see my fresh kill
Left in the road
Remains of your bodies
Mangled and torn

One child left slowly dying now, arteries gushing blood
Now it's time to feed on flesh, the gore has just begun
[close]

So he claims the truck is bulletproof, had someone throw shit at it, and then the windows cracked? :lol

Quote
To show off the robust design of the new pickup, Musk enlisted his head of design, Franz von Holzhausen, to take a sledgehammer to the side of the vehicle, whose exterior will be made from the same stainless steel used in the Starship rocket developed by Musk’s SpaceX aerospace company.

The crowd cheered when it bounced off the surface without leaving a mark.

But the truck’s windows were not as fortunate, cracking like spiderwebs when von Holzhausen threw metal balls at them

Quote
“Oh my fucking God, well, maybe that was a little too hard,” Musk said, when his head of design, Franz von Holzhausen, cracked the driver’s side window with a metal ball in a series of pre-planned tests for the crowd.

He allowed von Holzhausen another throw to the rear passenger window, only to see that crack as well.

“It didn’t go through, so that’s a plus side,” Musk said, adding: “Room for improvement”.

Yup, they probably got surplus stuff from the spacex contracts.

Also, it's only heavier if you just swap out the sheet metal skin for stainless, but the outer skin is part of the structure, so you have some weight overlap there.

It's not supposed to look "nice." Man, fuck this culture. You are why we can't have interesting things. Everything has to be "good" or "nice" or "pretty." You've allowed yourself to only appreciate one tiny corner of the entire grid, and way too many people are similar. You're holding progress back. You're holding aesthetics back. You're holding humanity's potential back. You are probably too old to be corrected.

People like you run the world, and it is a shitty place.

I think it looks bad but I agree with this. Listen to Morbid Angel and slam your face into a desk once in a while right?

I personally do like the way this looks (or the general direction of it), but I couldn't do a truck. I can't see and letting me drive a large vehicle is really putting people in danger and I'd be in a constant state of anxiety from anticipating the next time I'd have to parallel park the thing. I do hope this encourages other auto makers to freshen up their dreadfully dated designs. We should nationalize the auto industry for resting at good enough after they made cars sorta aerodynamic 25 years ago. Outside of things like simple tools, in what other field do designs stay basically the same, nearly around the board, for 25 years? Er, how long have Marvel movies been going on again?

Wait, filler, is pomp daddy a reference to me? Have I mentioned that here? I like wearing large pompadours. Like, conspicuously.

This was extremely apparent when I had to get a new car last year after mine got totaled- it's like every car out there is a Honda Fit clone, a (whoever did crossovers first) clone, or a big-ass bulky SUV.  The few sedan and coupe types left also all look like each other.  Especially the Hondas and Toyotas.  There's just a couple of sports cars that stand out from the pack, but even they all haven't changed much to keep that iconic look, I guess.   

"Generic" design isn't going to stop me from getting a vehicle (unless there is something comparable with a better or unique look), but it's just so boring.  Reminds of mobile phone design post-iPhone.

That lives on since they just changed the name to the Toyota 86, which it went by in most other countries.  And some of the Yaris hatchback models have that Scion look, but I don't like that "angry fish" grill.

Very interesting article. It suggests that the reason it has the straight lines is for ease of manufacturing as Tesla may not have the tooling to stamp curved/corrugated metal panels. That's why these panels need to be 3X thicker than the typical car body panels. Oh and straight panels resonate when you get up to highway speed.

So this thing is going to be noisy and heavy/slow/underpowered. For the sake of maximizing production capacity.

So the perfect storm would be:


I'm not making a prediction or anything. I just think that would be funny.
Title: Re: Elon Musk IS Cybertruck
Post by: Coax on November 23, 2019, 12:27:57 AM
Interesting aspects to me:

- The body seemingly being more dent resilient. Having mostly flat lines also would make it easy to vinyl wrap.
-  Audacity to make and sell what has pretty much been limited to concept art/non-production vehicles for past few decades. It's true that few modern vehicle designs take such risks, regardless of their ultimate popularity (read that Elon has stated he'll be changing the design if sales are too low). Having curiosities like this on the road are more interesting from a variety PoV than necessarily desiring one personally.

Dislikes:

- Automotive aspects can only be repaired by Tesla afaik rather than any third-party. This affects all their vehicles tbf.
- The dash looking like a faux marble laminate countertop and along with the non-integrated monitor makes it look rather tacky and crude than a sleek minimalism.
- The practicality of the steering wheel shape.
- With the camera exclusive solution it currently has if anything fucks up you're left without much fallback, especially given the limited rear visibility.

Offensive:

- The logo. Saw that it's used for the on board OS as well so potentially is more than just some promotional graphic. It's not even that I necessarily dislike what they were vaguely aiming for but it shows no understanding of balance or letter forms. Literal chicken scratch.

Misc:

- From what I've read the lack of side mirrors and the brake light being integrated entirely on the tailgate is illegal in the US :doge Along with the eventual addition of some kind of wipers I'm curious how much will change in the design a few years from now.

you guys know the wedge shape has been used since the late 70's and all through the 80's? Look up any exotic Italian or British car from that era. It's an Aston Martin Lagonda with a suspension kit. Also funny how people twist themselves into pretzels to justify fanboying over this. I've heard the "it's industrial design" as a pro-cybertruck argument, from a car designer.  :lol

It's fine to like it, but don't sit here coming up with some pretentipus b.s. You're just gay for Musk.

I applaud Musk for taking such a bold move. The Tesla was bold but it was already being copied by other auto makers.
This looks entirely different from what you'd expect a truck or even Tesla product to look like. It reminds me of the Wii in that sense.
Weird name, weird look, but because it was vastly different it appeals to a much larger audience when all is said and done.

That is a 2D sprite though. And looks more rounded than the actual truck.

It really does look like early 3D modelling. That is the first thing I thought. Something like Hard Drivin would be more fitting.

Cyber truck is an interesting design, but I don’t think it will ever be built exactly like the concept for the cost they are quoting. I don’t know that it’s possible at all, but i definitely don’t think Tesla can do it.

The material they are using is too hard to be stamped. Well, all modern mass market car bodies are stamped. So I guess that means they have to forge the metal... ever compare the price of a forged knife to a stamped knife? It’s an order of magnitude difference. Doing this for a whole car? Seems unlikely.

An electric truck would suck fucking ass for towing or hauling, because any decent sized load would tank the fucking range.

This is true of a gas truck too, but a gas truck takes 10 minutes to fully refuel, not 2 hours.
Title: Re: Elon Musk IS Cybertruck

Full self driving cars. Musk claimed that we would have it by the end of last year or this year, I can't remember which. Then maybe a month or so later at some AI conference their lead AI architect said they were only beginning to scratch the surface of figuring out how to make things work.

And, I mean, go look at where this place is on a map. It's 15 miles from anything, totally open coastline with beautiful scenery. No major roads, no tourist hotspots.

Twitter DMs being not entirely safe has been a known thing in some circles for a long time now. Like any link you put in a DM is hit up by twitter HQ and they are cooperating with the feds in passing on info from DMs etc. Of course there's probably plenty of celebs being massive dumbasses. :teehee
