I didn't care, not my car lol. I wasn't looking closely, but the self drive did give me a scare. It suddenly changed lane when there was nothing near us on the highway.I'm gonna be honest. Most people bitch about issues with their vehicle. Google any make, model, or manufacturer and you will find a message forum ,FB group, Reddit post, Usenet post, or wherever that is full of people bitching about build issues.
So what did you think of the build quality of a 2022 MX?
Umm. They have fitment issues on all their production vehicles.
They really don't. I honestly think like 95% of the BS you read about tesla quality etc is way overblown. In tesla groups there are not that many problems, it doesn't seem any worse than any other lux brand other than Lexus.
Also regarding panel gaps - after 2021-ish they aren't bad. Again, walk the lot of any bmw/mb dealer, they are all very similar to current Tesla gaps.
The Elon RDF is strong in this one.They really don't. I honestly think like 95% of the BS you read about tesla quality etc is way overblown. In tesla groups there are not that many problems, it doesn't seem any worse than any other lux brand other than Lexus.

Or it's a 3 year old test mule that's been to the north pole and back?Cybertruck Delivery Event is supposed to happen end of this month, I don't think we should be seeing car with such obvious flaws.
What is an elon rdf?The Elon RDF is strong in this one.
Haha yeah I read that article to but to be honest I'll believe it when I see it. As far as timelines go the one thing that is true about Tesla and their CEO is that they ALWAYS over promise and UNDER deliver.
Why would you bring a 3 year old test mule with poor fitting to Malibu's Car and Coffee so close to official launch date? I mean I don't see any upside. Presumably everything is production level already by now. Why show pre production vehicles now?Or it's a 3 year old test mule that's been to the north pole and back?
Or like the base 35k Model 3, for sale only for a few weeks.Also, I don't want to buy first-generation hardware. Tesla speeds up the yearly cycle to about 6 months as far as improvements go, so for me, I'd probably wait a year or two. Although I doubt the $39k Cybertruck will exist by then, haha!
To be fair, adjusted for inflation and after recent prices cuts, the $39k Model 3 RWD does slot in at that price. Not to mention the generous federal subsidy. Americans don't much like sedans, but the Model 3 is a reasonably affordable one now.Or like the base 35k Model 3, for sale only for a few weeks.
Here's What Happened to the $35,000 Tesla Model 3 | Capital One Auto Navigator
The highly anticipated, affordable Tesla never quite panned out because it didn't fit the company's strategy.www.capitalone.com
In Texas? Probably give him a medal for keeping the hippies from walking. There is an asshole in our neighborhood that lives by the walking gate to the elementary school that purposely blocks the sidewalk with his truck, so the kids either have to walk through his yard (what I've told my daughter to do) or in the street to go around it. He has plenty of room to not block the sidewalk and in the summer time, he doesn't.Isn't it a ticketable offence to block the sidewalk?
There is a reason why other manufacturers don't make their cars out of thick slabs of stainless steel. The design makes it harder because it essentially demands perfection and the material is difficult to work with. It's a shit design from a manufacturing perspective.Mass production is hard compared to design and prototyping, but you'd think with all the time and money put into this they would have perfected it by now.

Dang, I just realized, how hot is bare metal going to get under the sun??
They need to figure out how to integrate a spin Seebeck device into the design so they get free electricity during summer.Dang, I just realized, how hot is bare metal going to get under the sun??
Bare stainless reflects most solar radiation.Dang, I just realized, how hot is bare metal going to get under the sun??
PV cells would charge the battery a bit and keep the car cooler.Bare stainless reflects most solar radiation.
Compared to bare stainless, they'd actually make the car hotter. PVs absorb most solar radiation and convert ~25% to electricity, but the rest heats the material. Non-polished stainless reflects about 65% of solar radiation, polished stainless reflects about 93%.PV cells would charge the battery a bit and keep the car cooler.
Even more fun when they see the insurance rates for comprehensive and collision coverage...It is going to be glorious when people start showing up to body shops trying to get these things repaired.

You should check out a Model Y or 3 after an hour or so in the sun (no experience with X/S, probably the same). You could cook an egg on that glass roof easy. Miserable thing in the summer sitting in their feeling the heat radiate off it.Dang, I just realized, how hot is bare metal going to get under the sun??
