Elon Musk's net worth plunges $768m in a day after cybertruck fiasco
- Fiasco because of the glass or because of the design? Hardly fiasco. Stocks usually dip on releases after a product launch. „Buy on rumor, sell on news“NBQ00
- do they dip down usually in that magnitude?neverscared
- he still got 23B. its nothinBrokenHD

For such a radical design choice Elon sure does a garbage job teeing it up for peoples minds. Hitting it with things is something an engineer would do not a designer.
- He wanted to show it‘s toughness. They hit the glass like 50 times prior to the keynote and didn‘t break but failed exactly on keynote. Oh well.NBQ00

I don‘t know why but suddenly I‘m really liking it. I kinda get the design now because I understand they wanted to make it really affordable and functional too. So they save a lot of costs with this design.
On top of it it has that polygonal luxury futuristic feel that some yacht designers were doing.
I bet if it were as polished as those yachts the starting price wouldn‘t be $40K. This is supposed to be a pick up truck not a luxury $200K vehicle.

- How do these amateur “news podcast” types have homes with basements that big for their studios? :Dmg33
- Because this dude is probably a carpenter. Or has worked in the trades at some point.nb
- Also, that accent!!nb
- this guy is an unboxermonospaced
- because that guys has millionzzz of subs on his other channel 'unbox therapy' and he makes milions of dollars /year. He have his own studioBennn
- Millions of dollars? Nah.monospaced
- Totally mono. Check it out. Youtuber with over 1 milions sub can decently live. Unbox Therapy has 16M sub.Bennn
- Check out his video where he shows his new studio. Guys making loads of $$$$Bennn
- Casey Neistat, Peter McKinnon, they're all living life of milionaires.Bennn
- here: https://www.google.c… Estimated networth of 20Milions $$$$Bennn
- Yes they make at least a couple million with unbox therapy channel. Not just the adsense revenue but other additional adverts and sponsoringsNBQ00
- Pewdiepie has an estimated $70-100 million networth. Just crazy.NBQ00
- yep, Youtuber with over 400K subs can start living only from this. Over 5-6-700K subs, they have more than decent money flowing in.Bennn

- It's the best Kickstarter ever for Musk, 5 million people give $100 to put a truck on hold in 2 years. Musk is a money man.robotron3k
- $100 bucks deposit is quite low. On the other cars it's much higher. On the Tesla Roadster even full price of 250K and won't be out for probably another yearNBQ00
- So if this truck does not have a crumple zone God help the people on the other end of the impact, especially if the accelerator gets stuck.robotron3k
- True. I even imagine safety / crumple zone issues could end up having this whole design shelved... or at least the sheet metal material aspect of it.inteliboy

I'm coming around to the exterior design. The high peak above the driver is a bit form over function, as the rear passengers get way less headroom, but I'm looking forward to seeing these things on the road.
They are such a big departure from the status quo. It's nice that someone is actually pushing the envelope.
I really wonder how that stainless is gonna perform when ot encounters winter road salt. Stainless aint stainless in saltwater.
- Agreed. Either way it's clearly a success. Look at how many posts this thread has in just a few days.inteliboy
- No crumple zone means people are the crumple zone.robotron3k
- I wonder how they wreck against each other?robotron3k
- Most trucks lack crumple zones. That's typical of body on frame construction.monNom

- By "legit", I mean it's a fair compromise with tasteful edits.
: )ideaist - Given the way it's built though, that cut off on the trailer section would significantly weaken the superstructure.Nairn
- It’s an industrial designers idea of what it should’ve been. But I disagree. This still would’ve been too standard looking.NBQ00
- Such overkill for something that will sit in traffic in California. It's made for loading and hauling only, what pale, soft-fingered geek needs this??robotron3k

- As if any other car isn't overkill when sitting in traffic. You might as well walk or take a bike.NBQ00
