Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks

    What happens when you put that large metal part in the sun? He is entirely wrong.

      Well, of course. It doesn’t change my statement though.

      And the guys down the lab could go “well, we don’t have to make it out of metal.” And then it starts a rabbit hole of further insane requests that are technically possible, but to people unfamiliar with engineering (Elon) say “damn the cost” betting (incorrectly) that the time or financial cost to fulfill the requests is still profitable.

      Happens to a lot of products, unfortunately. People making demands are better off knowing what the demand entails. When they do not, this is what we get.

      He’s also probably confusing his experience with Space-X too. He can’t think critically, and it’s going to be his undoing. I hope at least.
