    Due to the nature of Cybertruck, which is made of bright metal with mostly straight edges, any dimensional variation shows up like a sore thumb.​

    It sounds to me like the reasonable conclusion to draw from this would be to modify the design of the car. I’d also assume you don’t need tolerances to be the same for literally all parts inside and out. I’d also think that, if the car looks that bad if things are 10 or more microns out of place, these cars are going to age terribly after regular use.

    But what do I know? If I were smart, I’d be rich, right? And Elon is so rich, he must be a genius!

        They are, and that undoubtedly gets under his sub micron thick skin, which is why he’s going overboard about it with this.

      The awkward moment where you sit on the car watching the sunset with your sweetheart and the next day your stainless steel car is bent.
