Quick rant about Tesla stuff:

Why is the Cybercab a 2 door?

Why those wasteful coupe proportions?

And why this stupid McLaren doors?

It’s by a mile the nicest looking Tesla ever, but everything about it screams that it’s just a show car. A car stuck in the 80s scifi dream that self-driving cars are just around the corner.

It’s the same smoke and empty promises that GM, Ford and any other car company has sold as a concept since forever as concept cars. It’s not meant to be real.

Don’t get me started with the Van.

The good stuff is that it is utilitarian in proportions. Which is a great plus over the cab.

But have these people ever been in a street? How is this supposed to drive in the wonderful state of San Francisco hilly streets?

It’s a concept car. That’s what it is.

Also it’s called a bus. We should have more of those.

That’s how you go from this to this
