Well since the 5 hole pattern was never drilled out I'm leaning toward a factory screw-up. Hopefully this is an internal photo that got leaked.

Thanks for responding. My silly question didn't deserve such a thoughtful response. My question was just a play on words. Now I feel like a nutjob.

After a long flight home from Italy, the last leg of the trip had this guy sitting in front of me. Didn’t see the tshirt until we stood up to de-plane but it perfectly summed up my attitude after being awake almost 24 hours….

I was curious how long it would take for someone to make the Cyber truck comparison. I'm thinking the reverse though and that it is the tweeker van owner doing his best to "improve" the Cyber truck.

Just saw the first one in person; my thoughts:

- sadly, 50 years later and no fix for the grimy dark smudge spots every place somebody touches it, especially the door contact points (just like on the trendy SS kitchen appliances). Delorean taught us nothing.

- poor detail fit, and the huge flat panels are starting to stress-relieve into waviness; this is much more obvious because it is entirely straight lines and flat planes, so even minute inconsistencies jump out at you (and I give it 6 months before some of those edges get dinged and bent, especially around the front and rear).

- and boy is it big and ugly. Too many riff's about 'cars are becoming appliances' - that aesthetic seems to have etched itself into the designer's heads, so it looks like a giant rolling refrigerator.

But it does attract attention and the Q&A routine, so if that is what you are after it may be perfect, especially for those hours long periods when it is hooked to the charger. So far my favorite meme version has got to be the General E.

I agree on the fit and finish. Saw one at a car show this spring and it looked like an 8th grade metal shop class assembled it. And I couldn't get over the size of the windshield wiper. It's so massive. If you were heading to a jousting match and forgot your jousting tool you could grab the wiper off a cybertruck.

Agree, but then you wouldn't see the cool things in the newspaper, like the name of the paper - Daily Tabby, or the articles: 2 yrs old rescued from tree, or Obituary RIP Muffy, or a cat's favorite - National Bird Show (with pics).

Well I think we know he didn’t steal a car with a manual transmission….

Police are stumped as to his whereabouts.

My hunch is it wasn’t his first crime
