In a sane and just world, this stupid thing would bankrupt Tesla.

@Basmitharts I'm coming from the perspective of a person who kind of liked the concept, I thought it was unique, I was slightly sceptical that it would be genuinely useful but was open-minded. My main concern was the bed, it wasn't separate and thus you couldn't replace it with a flat deck or easily install a canopy for camping or similar applications.
However, over time as we've seen more of the production versions I've started to think this is one of the dumbest vehicles ever designed. I'm happy with basic and functional designs, but this seems weird for the sake of being weird.
@Basmitharts He's captured buyers who don't care about having easy-to-use steering wheels or mind going into touchscreen menus to do simple things that are normally done with a single button or dial. They buy a brand, not a car.
He has a similar reality disruption field to the one that Steve Jobs had.
@gpowerf The entire thing is the perfect Musk project. It was designed to be "disruptive", meaning ignoring everything that real automotive engineers have learned over the last century and disregarding any concerns over safety.
