Blade Runner Redux - Tesla Cybertruck!

[Hersbird]

I always wondered why people stuck in the snow leave their vehicles which seem like a great shelter and die in a drift down the road. Later I found out just how terrible a shelter they are will all that uninsulated metal just moving whatever heat away from inside. I suppose it's better than battling the wet and wind of no shelter, but it's still a poor shelter.

I'm surprised nobody's posted a u-tube video of how genius Tesla engineers secretly designed the Cybertruck to be a bug out/fallout shelter.

As Anthony Hopkins said, people die of shame.

I thought to myself, "He didn't show much shame when he was playing Burt Munro in The World's Fastest Indian." So I went looking.

Anthony Hopkins Quotes (Author of Donald Campbell)
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quo...nthony_Hopkins
13 quotes from Anthony Hopkins: 'We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.', 'My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do.

In his daily videos Scott Adams is using mass hypnosis techniques on his audience to free them of shame, as well as the anxiety from outliving pets.

Also, Rule 34 applies:

Before he passed away, Syd Mead, the movie futurist and industrial designer behind popular sci-fi movie Blade Runner, said in an email to Business Insider, Tesla's new Cybertruck "has completely changed the vocabulary of the personal truck market design."
Mead called the futuristic-looking design "stylistically breathtaking" and said it went beyond his expectations. Mead said in reaction to his sci-fi movie vehicle designs "as a long time admirer of Elon Musk, was truly flattered" to hear that the Tesla Cybertruck took cues from his Blade Runner movie. Mead's words are still high praise.

That's sadly heart-warming; like Jack Northrup being shown the B-2.

Google is showing me the picture from Permalink #423*. That's creepy.

*Google says it's on page 43, but I'm on page 11. AIdiot?

I have had difficulty finding old posts ever since I changed the number of posts per page.

On 2/24/20,Elon Musk reported that Cybertruck will be Cd 0.30.And the width has been reduced to 82-inches,from 83.6".There was no mention about 'mirrors.'

I assume that such a small change does not change the frontal area by much and thus does not change the efficiency of the vehicle by much?

Does it change which trailers it will 'shadow'? Again, I assume not by much...
It looks like a lot of the larger RV trailers are in the 90s for the width in inches, so they were always going to be wider than the Cybertruck.

I don't see where he has said anything new about aero, just the size smaller and lazer blade lights, whatever that is.
