     "All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy."
     Absurd. I've worked with jet engine parts that don't have this kind of precision.

     @arstechnica $10 says Elon sketched the Cybertruck design and it looks like something he saw on Saturday morning TV back in Pretoria.

     @arstechnica AKA…not releasing anytime soon barring a few, essentially, hand built examples to “influential” buyers. Simply to remind people it exists. Weird, expensive, buggy, and late to the party doesn’t engender confidence anyway.

     @arstechnica Isn't that what Tesla stands for (bad build quality )? 😂

     @arstechnica Could change the name for the protection of the guilty? Might work.

     @arstechnica fair point:

     "every image we've seen of the Cybertruck thus far—including those posted by Musk to his social media account yesterday—shows shockingly inconsistent build quality, particularly at the front of the vehicle where multiple stainless steel panels meet at angles that remind some of a deli slicer."
