10 microns = .01 mm = .0004 inch

You can’t without specialized equipment and specially trained workers. A car built with that kind of precision would cost many millions of dollars.

To be fair, he’s talking about uniformity of parts/not fit, but I worked for a place that made parts for NASA spacecraft and the spec was .002”. Apparently this truck is going to cost millions of dollars…

I beg to differ, the world would be a better place if more people knew exactly how dumb oligarchs like Musk are.

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
