Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

“I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit”

or thinking this is a joke:

“That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it”

      I always thought that was a weird challenge to issue. And why would you want unbreakable side windows? To frustrate a rescue?

        Uhh, if you were the kind of enormous asshole that Elon Musk is, would you want to ride in any unarmored car?

        Elon has this thing in his mind where the world will turn into some apocalyptic dystopia like that Futurama episode where Fry freezes himself for another 1000 years. That’s also why he put a bio attack mode in the Model X.

        And now he’s doing everything to make sure the world actually turns into that.

          He’s currently working quite hard on making that dystopia future a reality unfortunately…

          The bio defense mode is just a HEPA filter from what I can tell, my Seat Leon has that which I often activate in tunnels during winters as studded tires are creating a lot of concrete dust.

            Yeah, no doubt it’s probably not a wise idea to take a Model X into a WWI battlefield.

        I’ve never thought of it that way, lol. Tech Bros must just say and do whatever they think will earn them the most praise and money. I think that is why they raised that because it was being marketed as an “ultimate truck” even though when it panned out it was the complete opposite.

          Ideally with cans of brake cleaner. On the paint and clear coat. Brand them, like Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds.

        It’s something that comes in handy when you covertly rob a bank. No broken windows. No one will ever know it’s you.

      Do they prevent spray paint?

      Why is the answer to Elon always some half cocked response that ignores reality.

        They don’t exactly prevent breakage either. They actually shatter with just slightly more force than normal vehicle glass, it’s just that they take quite a lot more impacts to actually penetrate through them.

        That is the windshield, they claim the side windows. (you know the very opposite way most would want, like a cursed wish)
