No its funny because for months Musk has being saying you could throw absolutely anything at this new glass and it would just bounce off without leaving a mark. That clearly never happened.
You do raise a good point about electric cars but i guess the environmental damage would vary from country to country. Here in Scotland last year 75% of our electricity was generated from renewable sources (mostly wind and wave powered) by the end of this year the figure should be over 80%. I have no idea what the figure is for America but i would not be surprised if the renewable figure was much lower.
I mean the fact that you are raging against a faceless imagine you thought up, when this thread isn't anything about weight at all.
for the amount of miles the car gets and the 0-60 speed it has... who cares about aerodynamics? thing is built like an APC and will survive fancy things like strong winds and tight turns. That said I'm holding off on an electric vehicle until solid state batteries are around (predicted to be in 5 years)
ya no. you are just pissing in the wind and getting mad when people get hit by it. it's stupid, has no impact on the discussion and is flavour text that sidelines the discussion. simply stating "most people won't even bother to walk 2 miles" is more apt here and BTW I call bullshit on 14 minutes for two miles while walking. average walking speed is 3.1 miles per hour. even if you were an athlete that means you are about twice as fast as everyone else and thus you are pushing the max speed seen. no way you are getting better than the 10 minute miles they are.
This thread is about the Cybertruck. Not the impact of cars in general, not about gas vs electric or about whether people should be even using cars. These are all different discussions.
0-60 is acceleration and little to do with anything here. Cruising speed on highways and the like means you sit at the top of that, if not more. Sharp edges causing a nice bit of turbulence or buffeting also speaks to the road noise of the thing (which given the angles might well only be a few mm from your head)
Do you mean "are"? At least you are being consistent about the use of cars, but that's really a separated issue from whether cars are becoming more environmentally friendly or not. Increasing relying less on unclean energy to built and fuel cars, yet somehow EVs are still worse. Also, self-driving is increasing becoming a thing. Quite frankly, I think it easier and more realistic to move to cleaner and safer technology than to expect for everyone to suddenly drop their cars. Technology that would still need to be developed, even if everyone stopped using cars, because people still need to travel far distances. Still, it is nice to see that you care about the environment so much. It is too bad that you are so angry at people that are worried about man-made issues and want to help the environment, but aren't perfect like you.
Yet you cared so much that you wanted me to address the rest of your post.
Isn't there a law that says you have to have review view mirrors and side panel mirrors? What if the camera goes out? A cop would know if your mirror was damaged. But he wouldn't know if your camera malfunctioned, unless he pulled you over.
Probably varies by state but most of the ones I have read say things like if you must have either a working rear view mirror or working wing mirrors, some going a bit further and noting that if they came from the factory (so not most builder vans, though what the distinction between such things is I don't know) by virtue of metal back doors, or if we are doing the US thing then what if you have a decent load in your pickup truck, an idea about as novel from what I saw as BMW drivers indicating but let us not go there) then they had also ought to be working, or at least not having such things working would be a fail for whatever annual vehicle test you might have. Such things might change in the future but I don't particularly see a path to it like there are with other now mandatory safety features.
