Does the fact that I was on a train somewhere between Winnenucca and Salt lake City and it was the absolute middle of nowhere affect things?
I saw the car carrier on the highway that paralleled the tracks.
I have no idea where they were going.
They’re manufactured in Austin. Presumably they were heading west. And probably to California, since it’s a bigger market than Nevada. There is a big Tesla factory in Nevada, mostly related to batteries, but I don’t think it does anything related to Cybertrucks. I guess it’s just barely possible they might be installing battery packs there, but I’d doubt it.
Thanks for answering the question. I was curious.
Car and Driver included the CT in it’s competition for best new EV (the Hyundai Ioniq 5N won) but it broke before the end of the 2 day test.
Surely the crash itself must have damaged something, since we’ve seen so many videos of cybertrucks going through shallow waterways.
I saw one yesterday that was painted (or wrapped)… powder blue. Pretty close to the color of your avatar, actually.
At least it wasn’t pink.
I think a pink and white Hello Kitty CT would be fucking awesome. If I was a woman I’d totally get one. Just to piss off Elmo.

You, sir, are a very wise man.
why stop at Hello Kitty, if you can go full rainbow- or trans-flag …
You mean like this?
You’ll notice that’s a Model 3.
That’s Pinkie Pie! Though I like the other associations.
There were plenty of rainbow pride cybertrucks for Pride Week earlier this year. One was posted upthread.
I see Tesla sedans all the time, but so far, only two cybertrucks. I don’t like the look because it looks to me like those shape edges will impale bicyclers and pedestrians in even a minor accident.

European regulations require a rounding of 3.2 millimeters on protruding parts. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a rounding of 3.2 millimeters on a 1.4 millimeter sheet of stainless steel
That seems like the sort of thing a super engineering genius might have looked into before designing and building the vehicle. 
Or maybe he doesn’t give a shit about pedestrians or bicyclists. The European market for consumer trucks is pretty small for a number of reasons.
I doubt that they cared about the EU market. They don’t tend to buy big ass trucks.
I don’t like their look either but I’ve been up close to a few of them. They don’t look any better up close but the corners aren’t at all actually sharp.
They are sharp enough to do more damage than a more rounded profile would in a low or moderate speed collision. That’s WHY Europe has rules about the curvature.
(Europe has a bunch of rules about pedestrian safety of autos that we don’t have in the US.)
No argument there. They’re atrocious. My main point was they didn’t care about the EU market for this product.
I said that. (Or at least, implied it.)
It’s also mentioned in the article i quoted. But it’s not relevant to my initial comment, which is that i don’t like the design because it looks like it’s sharp, and in fact, it actually IS sharp enough to fail EU safety rules.
I was just down in Florida for a week, and saw one there, as long as another one here in MA. Invasive species and all that.
There’s also one in South Boston with a pizza delivery hat on, delivering pizzas around town.
