I just...

You bought a car that looked like that, after seeing that launch presentation, and thought "Yeah, this $3k tent is gonna be great!"

I'm sorry but they deserve what they get at this point.

That thing gets uglier and uglier every time it hits the news

If this is the answer to the Rivian, I have so many more questions, and a much bigger desire to buy a Rivian

Looks like a whale's fleshlight.

I got one of these for my Prius for $100.

These dummies.

That car can't even stay out in the rain, never mind the tent!

Who is still surprised musks consumer products are a scam?

Why can't you leave it in rain?

It starts getting rusty lol They used a stainless steel alloy or something

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't think it's the stainless steel that's rusting. It's the iron particles that become airborne from roads and get stuck on the uncoated steel. Detailers call this "fallout"

If only there was some sort of coating that could be applied on bare metal to prevent this…
