    They aren’t needed, Elon knows more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive on Earth.

      For anyone wondering, this is something Elmo himself said in an interview.

      That is, after learning that all his great ideas for Tesla production were not that great after all. But somehow, him not listening to experts and then falling flat for the reasons stated by the experts made him more knowledgeable than them. Also because he obviously spends more time with the issue than people who have this as their job and don’t shitpost on some lame site 10 hours a day.

        Are you saying his pet project, the Cybertruck, may not be the best pickup truck that ever existed and ever will exist?

          In my humble opinion, it’s not even a truck, much less so a pickup truck, but I’m not the most knowledge person wrt manufacturing on the planet, so not sure my opinion counts.

          I think it’s a pretentious and overpriced car that is inferior to other solutions in every aspect. It’s plagued by technical flaws and I find it ugly.

          Though I can see that some people like the design. Still wouldn’t but it because of the issue at that price even if I liked it

            And I really don’t get those people. It looks like a shell put on top of an El Camino for a bad 1980s post-apocalyptic movie.
