    Make the tolerances too tight and the body parts will interact with each other in unfortunate ways - shell gets too hot, metal expands, and you can’t open or close the doors. Window glass will crack etc.

    Watch these fucking life-size HotWheels fly apart when it gets too cold or too hot.

      It’s funny how Tesla’s already have a reputation for being designed with only California weather in mind, and now he plans on making them even more susceptible to such foreign concepts as “cold” and “heat”.

        The Cybertruck is being designed without windshield wipers, just air jets, which is all the proof I need to know they’re not designed for any real work or colder climates than California
