Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

“I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit”

or thinking this is a joke:

“That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it”

      Gotta love the fact it’s on a flatbed. Wonder which of the dozens of possible ways it broke down.

          op wasn’t referring to the feasibility of wrapping but rather the disastrous consequences of it when using the word “can’t”

            Oh ok, so if they didn’t pay an astronomical amount of money for a proper primer coat first, it’s gonna damage the low grade stainless steel body?

            I’m not surprised really but I am constantly impressed at how Tesla managed to use such a low quality steel for that body.

      Pre-rendered textures mapped onto simple polygons. Literally an N64 game model.

      I guess this is the driver:

    I wonder if you can apply something adhesive under the tarp and let it just sit overnight. There so many terrible things you can do under a tarp quickly and without anyone even knowing since the cameras are convered up.

      After sealing up cracks and drafts in my house, all I can say is one can of spray foam can cause unimaginable frustration.

      Ziptie the trigger and chuck it under the tarp.

      I always thought that was a weird challenge to issue. And why would you want unbreakable side windows? To frustrate a rescue?

        It’s something that comes in handy when you covertly rob a bank. No broken windows. No one will ever know it’s you.

          Ideally with cans of brake cleaner. On the paint and clear coat. Brand them, like Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds.

        I’ve never thought of it that way, lol. Tech Bros must just say and do whatever they think will earn them the most praise and money. I think that is why they raised that because it was being marketed as an “ultimate truck” even though when it panned out it was the complete opposite.

        Elon has this thing in his mind where the world will turn into some apocalyptic dystopia like that Futurama episode where Fry freezes himself for another 1000 years. That’s also why he put a bio attack mode in the Model Y.

        And now he’s doing everything to make sure the world actually turns into that.

          The bio defense mode is just a HEPA filter from what I can tell, my Seat Leon has that which I often activate in tunnels during winters as studded tires are creating a lot of concrete dust.

            Yeah, no doubt it’s probably not a wise idea to take a Model X into a WWI battlefield.

        That is the windshield, they claim the side windows. (you know the very opposite way most would want, like a cursed wish)

      Do they prevent spray paint?

      Why is the answer to Elon always some half cocked response that ignores reality.

    I mean if I were foolish enough to buy such an ugly, hideous, disgusting pile of garbage like the cyber “truck”, I’d be too embarrassed to admit it too. But then again, I guess if I were foolish enough to waste that much money, I’d be too foolish to feel shame.

      Yeah I’m just imagining the feeling I get when I order a graphic tshirt with something nerdy or funny on it, then I get it and I’m like “I can’t wear this shit in public, I’m a grown man! WTF was I thinking?!” but times 100000

    You guys need to see his fb page. He’s clearly rage baiting and it’s working great for him
