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"
No I'm talking about how it doesn't conform to safety regulations which for some bizarre reason appear to be optional in the United States.
Cars have to conform to certain requirements in order to be a functional vehicle part of being a functional vehicle is to be a legal vehicle. If it's so goddamn angular that you would cut a pedestrian in half upon impact then it isn't functional.
Racing cars aren't really relevant because racing cars aren't meant to be around the rest of the public so they can do whatever they want.
If you want to launch into a completely different and separate conversation about safety and street legality of the cybertruck here we can but the short of it is - I agree that swastikar shouldn’t be road legal.
HOWEVER, your initial claim was about how the design should not be recognizable under a tarp and that it’s a bad design if it is. That’s just objectively false.
