    I was his fan at the time and at the reveal and it still looked like a joke to me. He also didn’t deliver on range and price.

    The only people that got interested in it are those that wants to get attention, because the shape provides it. It doesn’t look like the car provides anything else.

      Was that the reveal where he said the windows were indestructible, then proceeded to smash one on the first try?

        He kept boasting that it was “bullet proof”. Meanwhile I could easily imagine the engineers in the back really badly hoping he would shut up about that because they understood the gravity of the costs and compromises that would have been required to actually make this car bulletproof

        Guess what, turns out it’s not bullet proof after all. What a shocker.

        Apparently he has a bad habit of telling the engineers to do things that are literally impossible, and then firing them when they can’t do it. So they actually have a guy who’s job it is to distract Elon Musk so he never talks to the engineers, because it’s either that or keep hiring new ones.
