2023/01/15 ... Chief Vehicle Designer Franz von Holzhausen says the truck that will go into production in June will have "pleasant surprises" for consumers ... Buyers Must Get Used to Attention ... "I think you know, Cybertruck is radical, so it touches on like the uniqueness but it's 100% functional, if not more functional than any of the other incumbents. So, in that sense, we want to make sure that we didn't do something that was radically different but couldn't stand up to the true test of why people really buy a pickup truck." When it was pointed out to him that no other automaker would have given the green light to the truck's design, von Holzhausen agreed and acknowledged that Tesla's choice was bold and daring. "The interesting thing is that we were going through exercises in the early development phases where we were looking at, you know, more normal kind of silhouettes and realizing, like 'we have an opportunity to do something different, an opportunity that nobody else would have the balls to do," ...

Despite repeated warnings from another gas station customer, this Tesla Model 3 driver could not stop looking for the EV's gas cap ... some people are still having a hard time processing the change taking place in the auto industry ... we still come across videos of people trying to fill up their EVs with gasoline on a regular basis. However, this particular one may be the most hilarious of all. We're not sure whether this is staged or not – if it is, the people in the video are very good actors – but judging by the obstinacy of the two women to find a gas cap on the Tesla Model 3, we're inclined to believe the video is genuine ... the video starts when he notices the Model 3 pulling up at the pump. Two young women get out of the car, and the driver pops open the front hood and quickly takes a look under it to locate the gas cap. Unfazed by the absence of such a thing, she grabs the fuel nozzle, much to the bewilderment of other gas station customers. After about a minute of talking and looking at the Model 3's frunk, the women decided the gas cap must be somewhere else, so they moved to the back of the car, very close to the area where the charging port is located ... the man doing the filming finally decided to intervene and let them know the Tesla didn't need gasoline but electricity. What happened next is hilarious, but we won't spoil it for you – suffice to say that despite the man's explanations, the women still tried to fill it up using the windscreen washer fluid tank. The video ends abruptly, so here's hoping they didn't…
