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”

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

      I guess this is the driver:

            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.

        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 X.

        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.

      Do they prevent spray paint?

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

        They don’t exactly prevent breakage either. They actually shatter with just slightly more force than normal vehicle glass, it’s just that they take quite a lot more impacts to actually penetrate through them.

      Wait, that place I put all my junk too good for outside but not good enough for in the house is for automobiles?

      • The garage only has space for two of my vehicles when empty anyway. Besides, how else are people going to keep tabs on how my project car is going? They need to know when it finally has wheels.

            It is normal here. We have more space in general but even my outback is almost too big for my decent sized garage. Modern cars and trucks are just big.

    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.

    Man don’t put a loose cover on it like that outdoors, it’ll scratch the finish and cause it to rust! Oh wait, I guess it does that anyway.
