Yay, assemble "cutting-edge" BEV battery packs like they do with iPads and lots of glue.good news: the whole battery pack can be recycled by tossing it into absolute zero tank where it will disintegrate into component elements floating at various depths due to buoyancy differences.
bad news: entirely un-serviceable by anyone.
the foam is for securing everything in place, not water protection. the aluminum and steel outer housing protects from the environment. apparently mechanical fasteners are for chumps and glue is way more reliable. it will be interesting to see how they are cooling the cells.
My only worry is lack of a normal steering wheel. My wife said she would leave me if I got a car without a normal steering wheel. I laughed when she said it, but she wasn't joking.Cybertruck body, apparently:
Tesla Cybertruck body spotted ahead of production start
A Tesla Cybertruck body has been spotted being worked on ahead of the electric pickup truck’s upcoming start of production in Texas.electrek.co
I'm still nervous about:
1. Bulletproof windows, in the case of a freak accident
2. All-metal stamped body in case of an accident or fender-bender
3. Lack of a round steering wheel...I tend to drive with my hand on top of the center of the wheel & my elbow on the windshield corner on the door

I'm too ugly now.
It will be used by the same people who are currently using Hummers.I think it will still sell like hotcakes but there ain't no way it's going to come in at $50-60K.
Mail order brides. Plenty of low maintenance wives to be found in Asia.I'm too ugly now.
It's about as unJames Bond as a car could possibly be!This truck will really catch on if they use it in the next James Bond or Fast and Furious movie. Tesla's gonna get swamped with orders if that happens.

Well that was mean.Presumably you have more dough to make up for it.
hahahahaha - gasp for air - hahahaqha
Do the pre-orders really mean anything when the customer only had to put down $100?They already have 1.5 million pre-orders:
Exclusive: Tesla Cybertruck reaches 1.5 million pre-orders – Can it live up to the hype?
Tesla Cybertruck is getting closer to production – as the automaker’s first new model in three years, it badly needs to gain momentum back.electrek.co
I will probably get mine by 2029 lol

The rumor mill says that Tesla has 1.5 million pre orders for the Cybertruck. If true, the killing will happen.Man that thing is ugly. Not sure what the designers were going for. Tesla could have made a killing on a mid sized SUV (Honda CRV class).
A negligible deposit isn't really that indicative of future sales.The rumor mill says that Tesla has 1.5 million pre orders for the Cybertruck. If true, the killing will happen.
