The bulletproof glass looks really inappropriate this week. Actually, the whole thing looks inappropriate. It's the vehicular equivalent to the white guy ordering a sandwich with a missile launcher strapped to his back. It's showing the middle finger to the 80% of the population trying to get buy. It's hard for me to not judge the people behind this monstrosity.
Hell yes, Ray. Exactly my thoughts.
I'm not interested in the future this thing represents. "Why is it bulletproof?" ... "because it's bad ass" .... that sounds like the answer at 12 year old might give. Be better.
"If we just take all the proportions and drop them by about 5%..." 5% doesn't sound like much, but that's worlds away from being anywhere near ready.
Wasn't one theory that Musk had cut-offs from the BFR stainless steel pile, and challenged Tesla to do something with it? And then call it a completed design?
