Am I the only person who gets embarrassed by osmosis whenever one of these things is around? It's not even my vehicle and I am still embarrassed by it.
PS: So many of these ridiculous things around me ATM.
I wanted one back before we knew what they looked like.
I still wanted it after based on specs and price once it was announced.
When it came out smaller, less range, twice the price, and slathered in the stink of everything musk has done since 2019, I can't help but shake my head in disappointment every time I see one. Absolute disaster compared to what could have been.
You wanted it to be bigger? They're fucking enormous.
I was gonna ask the same thing. I don't think we're dealing with a reasonable individual here lol
Don't forget how they quietly abandoned the unique chassis design.
Yeah, and it's odd, the little changes they had to do to make the concept into a production model took a vehicle that was right on the cusp of being too stupid to be cool (couldn't blame someone who thought it already fell on the wrong side) and pushed it straight into rusty Pontiaz Aztek territory.
A safety bumper here, a road-suspension height there, add a few dashes of munufacturable glass and some cost cutting, and it's just... frumpy. Even apart from Elon revealing the true scope of his crazy to the world, this is a miss. I also assume most concept photos avoided the "I'm bored now let's finish it and go home!" rear angles of the design.
I'm embarrassed to be in the same reality and timeline, let alone the same space as one of those things
I saw one for the first time ever recently and it looks even worse in person than in pictures. I have still, mercifully, only ever seen one.
There is a red one where I live.
Red.
Looks like it stole its mother's lipstick. Worst one yet.
I never had to see one IRL until yesterday, when I saw two in about 3 minutes. I was surprised at how much more dangerous and stupid they look in person.
there's a lot near me with like 100 of them, presumably ready to sell. I'm surprised it's not been vandalized
Don't worry, it shouldn't be long before nature vandalizes them all with rust

apparently it is one of the most cancelled preorders in history, with estimates that 9 purchases are made from every 100 preorders. good job elon you traitor fuckwit
I saw one IRL omw home and I burst out laughing at how stupid it looked. Didn't stop laughing till I got home.
it's the electric homer. without the class.
What does osmosis have to do with anything?
I think it looks cool
