Elon Musk pegs Cybertruck side mirrors range reduction at 5% and promises automatic adjustment to new drivers

[Redaktion]

Tesla's decision to make the side mirrors of its upcoming Cybertruck electric pickup stems from the fact that they reduce range at highway speeds by 5%, said Elon Musk. While self-driving cars won't need mirrors in the future, he added, Tesla would still make them auto-configurable in its cars.

The author needs to work on his writing skills: "Tesla's decision to make the side mirrors of its upcoming Cybertruck electric pickup stems from the fact that they reduce range at highway speeds by 5%, said Elon Musk.".  Decision to "make the side mirrors"?  The context is so ambiguous that it makes the sentence painful to read. So simple to fix too, e.g. "Tesla's decision to add side mirrors..."

Actually, the word "automatic" is missing from that confusing run-on sentence in the article.  A better option would be e.g. "Tesla's decision to make the upcoming Cybertruck's mirrors automatic stems from...". I am so tired of having to decipher the intended meaning from poorly written articles online. Why do news sites seem so bent on pumping out content without bothering to proofread?  So frustrating, when a few extra minutes on the part of authors would go a long way toward improving content quality (and increasing readership).

Try getting a vehicle inspected in Pennsylvania without a drivers side mirror- Musk is such a jagoff

I guess if the bodywork is so hard that it can not be formed we should not expect crumple zones? It's crash test rating will probably compare to that of Thor's hammer (which it looks like). Speaking of - judging by the ripples and dimples on the panels above the loadbed, Mr Musk has not eased up on hammer testing the truck one bit.
"Buy your new Cyber truck with bad fitting and dimpled body panels pre-installed for that added rugged character. Man it's cool!"

Check out the new pics, he puts side mirrors on it, from the looks of it. He Def still a jagoff though.
