If I could afford a new car, I might consider that feature given the potential of the next few years…

More important will be the ability to repair it yourself when things inevitably break. Given that musk is insanely petty and political, you would need to count on whittling Tesla parts from a piece of wood.

He can just shut it down if you’ve gone to [insert any liberal location Musk decides on]. Those things are tracking you and have remote everything that Tesla can control.

Yup. You'd have to replace the computer with one made from wood.

Like this guy

Or the fact that Cyber trucks rarely make it more than a few hundred miles (if that) before they shut themselves off. Also, if you are ever in an accident and it loses power, it may very well lock you in the vehicle while it burns you to death.

(Pre morning coffee brainwave)

If someone wants DIY fix their Cybertruck, they should consider adding an isolated, self powered emergency door release mechanism. With explosive bolts. Now that would make it cyberpunk as fuck. Wait, that makes it more vulnerable to weapon fire. Shit now I really need my coffee

If I could afford a new car, I’d rather move to a neighborhood where my car doesn’t get shot at.

Just get a Toyota Tacoma, doesnt matter which year really they are all abominable and will outlast the Cybertruck.

You can DIY bulletproof your own car with phone books if it really matters to you.

I haven’t seen one of those in years. Lol.

The local ibrary might need to weed some outdated encyclopedias though. 🤔

Man I'm so glad I was tired of throwing them away.

However, as Clarkson demonstrated in Iraq, you can't bulletproof a car with sandbags.
