A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The frame is unfortunately a piece of poorly designed garbage too, even ignoring the Whistling Diesel torture test. And you can't make something that isn't a cybertruck using it, because:
It's not a traditional frame with a body built on top. It essentially is the cybertruck.
They could (but won't) design a vehicle that isn't ridiculous and offer cybertruck owners a rebate on trade in. Yank the batteries, motors, and anything else that can be reused and scrap the rest.
