its almost like soda cans and plastic legos which are very small and simple cannot be compared to large body panels made of steel.

with any luck he's working on a project to unintentionally do exactly that steering-device

Not surprising that this babybrained shitstain takes cues on manufacturing cars from LEGO.

Enzo Ferrari once said, "I don't care if the door gaps are straight. When the driver steps on the gas I want him to shit his pants."

Good. Let him burn through all his R&D money trying to make this happen. It'll help hasten Tesla's decline.

Ignoring the absurdity of those tolerances, and the absurdity of saying "just do this hard thing, ps I am a genius for demanding it," if the design of the cybertruck is such that it'll look bad without perfecf tolerances, it's obviously the design that's bad.

Legos are a single piece and apart cans are technically four (body, lid, tab, and fulcrum) how is a vehicle even remotely comparable.

I was reading somewhere that Teslas have unreasonably tight tolerances already, but they never acutally check them becuase the parts would inevitably fail and it would grind production to a halt and cost them a fortune. The reason for the tolerances is becuase people keep complaining about the spectacularly shitty fit and finish of the cars, so someone at Tesla (probably Musk himself) just ordered that the tolerances be tightened without changing anything else about the production process.

I guess they have tightened them so many times that now he is demanding less than 10 microns.

Why not just make the cars out of Legos?

I didn't think Cybertruck was even still a thing

I believe a piece of masking tape is about 100 micron, if we needed some perspective of how silly this requirement is for building a truck.
