Well yeah, that will be their argument and legally it's a good argument.

I don't know what you're talking about because when I tried Linux it was a nightmare. The only thing that worked properly ironically was the printer. It's straight up would not play sound, if I plugged in headphones it would play sound but it would not play sound through the speakers. There were lots of people telling me I needed to install new sound drivers, or run arbitrary commands. None of them fixed it.

It ended up being a problem with the USB driver. That's ridiculous, I shouldn't have to mess around with a driver for an internal component.

I think my programming career was notepad++ then sublime, then vscode, and presumably now I should start using Cursor but I can't bring myself to do it.

The first nuclear reactor was used to light a single bulb. Presumably it was either an incredibly inefficient bulb or an incredibly inefficient reactor.

Anyway this is all just an extension of everything having an app.

It isn't about who knows who the Elon Musk is it's about who cares who Elon Musk is.

Why should I care who some random CEO is? If you can answer that question you will impress me because CEOs don't have a lot to do with what the company does, they have a lot to do with how the company is perceived. Think about Tesla is that for whatever reason they decided to be a 100% perception company and a 0% results company. Presumably because their results are unimpressive.

Most people don't research the CEO of a car company before buying a car. Who is the CEO of ford no idea he could be a complete lunatic as far as I'm aware, I don't know because his personal attitude isn't relevant to my car buying decisions.

It's ridiculous to expect people to not buy a Tesla simply because it's CEOs in the moron most CEOs are. It's practically part of the job description.

For the same reason people need SUVs, for moving large amounts of stuff around. In my case I would just throw the bike in the back rather than having to faff around laying all the seats flat and then having to put down the tarpaulin so they don't get dirty.

I could get a van but then I've got a stupid van with all its limited visibility. A pickup truck would actually solve the problem if it weren't for the fact that all the manufacturers are American and seem to think that they need to rival the size and weight of a tank.

Realistically though what are they going to do about it? They probably can't sell the vehicle because of the now stigma attached to it and if they don't sell it they probably can't afford a new car.

It's no worse than some of the stuff Nissan has come out with over the years. Remember the cube?

The problem with the Tesla truck is that it is ugly without purpose, all the other oddly designed vehicles look the way they do because they have a particular unique feature (been small, having sliding minivan doors on a vehicle otherwise two small for them, having gull wing doors, removing a-pillars from the design, etc), but the cyber truck just looks like that to be contrarian.

It's actually the one pickup style truck that might actually be viable in Europe.
