Who is this car meant for?

Every time Elon releases something it just reminds me that we only have one CEO in the world who wants to build a cool future and half the time he's a pot-smoking dumbass.

>nope, you get red SUVs and grey sedans

The hopping market demographic of soylent drinkers in the 1% who need a pickup truck that will turn heads.

He said that and then the glass shattered (it did stay in place at least)

It has "cyber" in the name, it looks sci-fi and it supposedly stops bullets, go figure

Cyber tires for Cyber truck?

Too bad he's also planning to destroy LEO for the next hundred years with his internet satellites.

>>40
kek. pls explain how he will literally 'destroy LEO' anon.

>>46
The Starlink satellites he's proposing are going to be a disaster. There's far, far too many of them (several times more than all currently operating satellites in all orbits, according to the overall plan) and SpaceX is refusing to take proper precautions for collision avoidance. There's already been one close call. And with that many satellites in similar orbits, a collision will lead to more.

>>47
Meh. The Chinese intentionally rammed a yuge-ass booster into one of their derelict satellites years ago now and that debris has been a threat ever since. These Starlinks are much less likely to be an issue than that cloud already is tbh.

You do realize they're planning to put up 12,000 of them at minimum right? And there have already been near misses.

>>61
The debris cloud from the kinetic anti-satellite 'test' I mentioned probably has millions of elements in it.

>>61
Actually the number of satellites will number over 50000 if this keeps up..
-Iridium: 66 satellites
-OneWeb: 4540
-Boeing: 2956
-SpaceX: 12000
-Telesat Canada: 117
-Amazon: 3000
-Sateliot: 70 satellites
-LeoSat: 108 satellites
...

Tens of thousands of fridge sized junk objects plannet to be in semi low or low orbit

>>63
You're arguing that the outcome of a collision is worse than the prospect of one.
It is exactly because the Chinese test was bad that we want to avoid the same thing happening on a scale potentially large enough for a feedback loop to develop. Having that debris at an altitude where there are at most a few hundred satellites at risk is bad. Having that kind of debris at an altitude where there are over ten thousand is potentially catastrophic.

>>71
>You're arguing that the outcome of a collision is worse than the prospect of one.
Lel. Are you arguing it's not?

>>73
Stop being disingenuous. We're both saying collisions are bad. You're the one arguing that we shouldn't be worried about them becoming vastly more likely and most destructive.

A lot of people praise china and japan, but that's obviously just propaganda, like every country and town does.
japan isn't clean or high-tech. they have a lot of neon-lights in some of their cities, but that's about it. It's just as tacky as those middle-eastern stores that sell all kinds of garbage with neon-ilghts in the window because they think it looks cool.
most japanese and chinese don't have phones even made within the past 15 years. and neither of their "people" are intelligent either. just more lies/propaganda pushed by the insecure effeminate "people", lie how blacks pretend to be tough and tall, when in reality, most of them are shorter than the majority of asian and so are their "dicks".

There are so many odd things about this writing, it makes me wonder if you have ever lived in Japan.

This is peanuts compared to what will happen if China attempts to take down Startlink:

The debris field from 1000 destroyed satellites will be a huge problem for decades.

>The debris field from 1000 destroyed satellites will be a huge problem for decades.
Most definitely. That's one of the issues with these quite-eccentric collision orbits; the tidbits are generally well-outside the typical LEO atmospheric 'event-horizon', and thus avoid the common scenario of autonomous de-orbit after a few years or even less.

This would be an effective end of safe orbital trajectories -- manned or unmanned -- probably in perpetuity for the lifetime of mankind to remain. It will be a field indeed, and represents an utter disaster for spaceflight if/when it occurs.

In fact, it's a likely scenario IMO, and moreso over time.
