In a rather grotesque presentation, Elon Musk's "firstborn", Tesla Motors, presented his “frontier” pick-up.
Tesla Cybertruck, this is the name of the futuristic vehicle, seems to have come directly from a dystopian story by Philip K. Dick. An ugly tale, just in case.
I can't tell you how much I DON'T like the aesthetic aspect of this little metal monster that aims to convey a "relentless" air. To me it has the effect of a toy covered in sheet metal: yes, for my vintage side it's a bit like the A-Team Van, it has its own heroic something. But he is truly a ciospo, come on.
And it is here that I cling, oh unaware, to the qualities that the four-wheeled energetic man from Tesla will certainly bring out. In the future, I say, because in yesterday's presentation the flop is one that makes the stupid figures that Steve Ballmer fixes with every new Microsoft release pale in comparison. As in those cases, however, the injury should be considered cathartic and auspicious.
The facts
Called to illustrate, among the qualities of Tesla Cybertruck the main one (solidity), the tycoon witnessed a tremendous défaillance.
An angular stainless steel body, practically invulnerable to blows of all kinds, both in the carriage and in the glass. An animal. So let's hit him with lead bullets, right? What better occasion than this catwalk on stage. There is also a live stream. Let's get into it.
The first metal marble smashed the window with a dull thud. A typical sound Thum. We have before us a titan of the space race, one who wants to wire our brain to a computer, who will make us travel in pneumatic tubes, in a scene worthy of Giandomenico Fracchia.
It is not possible, on. Again, with the rear glass. Watch now.
The second marble smashed the "invulnerable" glass, entering almost soberly, as if not to disturb.
And here comes the greatness of genius. The unchalance unlined, and that blasé joke: “we'll sort it out later”. But such as SpaceX for Mars, which hyperloops, that Neuralinkhere, I thought, one who is not afraid to fail and try again, one who knows no obstacles.
A bit like his Tesla Cybertruck, in the end. And for many reasons.
Because Tesla Cybertruck (maybe) won't fail
Primo, even the fearful ugliness (no, it doesn't meet my taste) has specific goals. He has to work, he doesn't have to do fashion shows. Secondo, the doors REALLY held up to heavy hammering. Third, the specs are frightening: 3 different courses (300, 500 and 800km range). Capacity to carry 1600kg and tow another 6.350kg. A base price will be 39.000 euros, up to over 69.000. Bedroom, Is it or isn't it the latest model from the best-selling company in the world, the most advanced in the field of electric vehicles? So.
Presumably this cross between a DeLorean and an Alfa Arna will arrive on the market at the end of 2021, perhaps with a little tweak to the strength of the glass (if it put those discovered in Tampere would do): is it not?
