1. Another terrific feature....

brought to you from the smartest man in the world.

Another triumph from Eloon Mush.

I still can't believe that's the best design they could come up with for an electronic pick-up truck. 🙄 That thing is butt-ugly!

2. Looks like the lead designer was an 8 YO.

Holy crap, though. That "defect" is a potential killer.

6. Elon probably saved drawings of all the "cool stuff" he came up with as a kid

and handed it over to the design department with orders to make it happen.

3. I saw one!

I went to the grocery store yesterday and saw one in the parking lot and had a big WTF moment! I think it looks like someone handy with metal work turned their vehicle into a tank.

5. I saw one on the freeway

It was night. And you're spot on -- it's a WTF moment.

4. Every new one will now come with a roll of duct tape.

7. Just what is wrong with a full rubber cover

on the pedal like the brake pedal.
Or a pedal made of textured metal in one piece?

One of the last places you want to have pieces come apart.

It also looks like it has no room over the foot for people like me with big feet or wear boots. My foot would have to be near the hinge.

8. Crazy, you'd think they would have seen this

problem in the design stage of manufacturing.
