In general I like his videos but this one wasn't nearly as honest as he can usually be. For a 100k vehicle, this looks like utter garbage. There are so so many obviously ignored issues in his review this couldn't in all honesty be called a critique. Tesla would love if this was what everyone had to say. But it will be far worse.
Everything from shape to choice of materials was a mistake for this one. Crumple zones are an important. Instead of those you get decapitating sharp edges of metal which is known to be rigid and non-pliable. Not to mention there are no mechanism to easy pedestrian injuries and atrocious visibility from cockpit, something you normally get on vehicles half the price.
Also, good luck escaping vehicle when battery catches fire without mechanical door handles and "bullet proof" glass. But then again, we are talking about Tesla fans who will fork over money on anything Elon says. So I wouldn't be surprised if it starts selling.
